St. Pete Beach is a resort city situated on a barrier island, west of St. Petersburg, Florida. It is renowned for its beautiful beaches and the iconic Don CeSar Hotel that dominates the shoreline with its elegant pink Moorish-style architecture. Pass-A-Grille area offers visitors access to galleries, shops, and Gulf Beaches Historical Museum that showcases postcards and other relics from as far back as 1917 when it was a church.
Pass-a-Grille is a relaxed area known for its wide stretch of pristine white sand, Pass-a-Grille Beach, located along the Gulf Coast. Nearby are beach boutiques and casual seafood restaurants and bars that cluster together, particularly along 8th Avenue. Visitors can explore the region's history at Gulf Beaches Historical Museum through memorabilia such as photographs and old postcards. Merry Pier is also a popular fishing spot where boat tours to secluded Shell Key Preserve depart.
The wide, white sandy beach of Upham Beach Park is a great place to spend a day with friends or family. The dunes and the clear blue water make it perfect for dolphin sightings and light surfing. There are plenty of cabanas, lounge chairs, and umbrellas for visitors to use, as well as restaurants and bars if you're looking to spend an afternoon or evening at the beach.
The beach I grew up going to! Still pretty much the same as back then, a great place to catch a tan, build a sand castle, or body surf on an incoming tide! Bathrooms available and they still have the food cabana.

Upham Beach is one of my favorite beaches in the area. Possibly most of Florida.
In August, it remained relatively quiet. On the weekends there was a small crowd — I think that was in part because of a volleyball tournament held there. It was entertaining to watch anyway!
My only complaint would be the parking. It was limited and costly, especially on the days of the tournament. Weekday parking and/or walking was okay though.
My favorite part was the little nature area off to the right — it’s listed online as the Secret Garden. Videos attached. If you continue to round that corner, you can see Woody’s restaurant.
I liked the PADL boards for rent on the beach. When I had trouble returning mine, the customer service # (found on the app) was very helpful.
The Paradise Grille was a great place for food and drinks right on the beach. The bathrooms were well kept for any needed beach time potty breaks too.

Beautiful beach. Had to soak in every moment! Clear water and plenty of room to walk/play. There was a little place to eat with the bathrooms, a tad bit expensive but a cute place overall. Parking was reaaaallly quite a pain as well but well worth it.

Loved the beach! Rented a cabana and it was well worth it. The food from the grill was made fresh and delicious. Kids had a great day collecting shells, building castles and playing in the water.

Came down during July for a family vacation and this was 1/3 beaches we went to. By far the favorite of the whole family! Easy access to the beach and the sand wasn’t too soft that our wagon and cooler would get stuck. The water was a good temp and there was lots of seashells to find! Spacious enough for everyone also even during a busy holiday weekend. There was some nice looking rocks that were perfect for family photos! Parking was HORRIBLE though. Not much parking nearby and you have to “fight tooth and nail” to get a spot.

Upham beach is small beach with not a lot of people, there are parking spots with the standard 5/hr fee and pay by the meter or ParkMobile app. The water here is absolutely gorgeous with that stunning Bahamas blue/green water with white sand beach! This beach was amazing for kids to play because of the sandbars and low surf.

Beautiful location! If your looking to get some beach time with a gorgeous blue water view, this is the place to visit. Parking was easy to find and love that there is a grille and bar right off the beach! I went on a date here in January and it was beautiful. Not many people in the morning. Definitely recommend 10/10. I will be back!

A wonderful beach! Our section of the beach had two access points, 4 volleyball nets and the popular Paradise Grill. The snack bar is conveniently located on the beach, the food is actually reasonably priced and there are restrooms on the back side of the grill. The beach is fairly level and you can walk out a decent distance without it getting too deep. Water was decently clean and the temperature yesterday was good. Not a far walk from the parking lot to the water either. However, as others have mentioned parking can be a problem especially since many spaces belong to the condos on the beach. Price yesterday was $3.75/hour and meters are enforced from 8am - 8pm. Volleyball courts are sometimes used by leagues so just FYI.

I've been here twice now. It is not very crowded like other beaches, but it is the wintertime. They have a great little cafe with plenty of food and drink options. Parking is not free ~$14 for 3 hours.

First time here, and we loved it! This is one of the best beaches we've ever visited. Parking was great. The sand was perfect. There was a beautiful mix of shells throughout the beach. The water was a cool temperature. It was also a nice turquoise color. There are beautiful large rocks to walk on and take wonderful pics. We went on a Tuesday so it wasn't crowded at all. I highly recommend this beautiful beach for everyone. Watch for the seagulls. If you give an inch, they will take a mile.

Great family beach. White sands and clear water. There isn’t alot to do or attractions around this beach but if you just want beach time, this is the spot. Parking was easy not overcrowded. For 6 hours we paid about $23 for parking. The cabanas were $40 cash, the guy selling them does take electronic payments, but since the rain he didn’t want take out his phone 😒🤷🏾♀️. It was raining when we got there. The cabanas are not waterproof, so your things will get wet underneath. The cabanas do protect against sunlight so it’s worth it on a sunny day.

This was the first beach I came to when I first moved here. Since then, I've been to all the beaches along the west coast of Pinellas County and this is by far my favorite and I live 5 minutes from Clearwater beach.
I have made a lot of friends playing volleyball here and the parking is much easier than most.

This place is amazing…clean and clear water, not far walk from the parking lot and there’s also a bar with cold drinks and some food. Great place to take a relaxing day.
Merry Pier is a bait shop located on the pier in Gulfport, MS. It offers live bait, seafood, sandwiches, and chartered boat rides. The pier is a popular spot for fishing, dolphin watching, and snorkeling.
Shell island tour did an excellent job ferrying our group to comb for shells. We spotted dolphins along the way and the captain stopped and circled boat around for us to enjoy. We had a toddler in our group and the crew were very accommodating.

We had been waiting 6 months to head to Florida and Shell Island was the number one thing on our list. I was so sad to hear they weren't offering rides right now! But the guy from NY who was working the store was FABULOUS. Great conversation and the shop has lots of fun little things to look at!

Took my niece and nephew to Merry Pier yesterday morning, rented 3 fishing poles and got a few buckets of live shrimp and caught 32 fish in 2 hours, which included 4 different species. Nothing too big to brag about, but the kids had a great time. We even had a hungry pelican come over scrounging for a free meal and we obliged him. The pier didn't have a large crowd so there was ample room to fish. The gentleman in the store was really friendly and provided us with a few tips on how to fish using the live shrimp. Over all, a wonderful experience. Will return again.

This is a great little place! We were unable to get here before 4:30, and the shop closes at 5:30. They got us a pole and bait to rent for that hour, and were kind and helpful about doing that so close to their closing time. We were visiting from out of town and this was the only opportunity for fishing, so we were extremely grateful. We didn't see an end time on the website, or we might not have tried to get here in the first place. But I'm glad we made the trek (1 1/2 hours). The last boat had also just came in, and they were getting the caught fish ready for the people who caught them. That was well organized and fun to watch. They feed the left over fish parts to the eagerly awaiting pelicans, I'm sharing a video. So fun, less waste and happy pelicans and people. Highly recommend this place if you want to fish and need to rent a pole, or can go out on the boat. Wonderful people work here! And they have a super nice dog too!

Cute little pier with benches to watch fishermen and look at the views. We waited here for our shuttle out to shell key. Inside you can book fishing tours, and they have snacks and drinks, a few souvenirs, and they sell from what I assume is a local crochet lady. I bought a squid and a clam.

Not one complaint about the pier or staff & they get a 5 star rating. My 3 star rating is directed solely towards the greedy city for the monetization of every damn parking spot available to the public,regardless of it's location!
Corey Avenue Shopping District, St. Pete Beach has been hosting a Sunday Market since at least 1999. The market features local vendors selling produce, handmade goods and crafts of all types. If you're looking for unique gifts or just want to buy some fresh fruit and vegetables, this is the place to go!
Lots of great things here! Parking, of course, is the worst! Loved the oat coffee latte i had and the vegan doughnuts were so yummy!! Lots of jewelry, artwork, clothing and a couple plant booths. They have great food vendors, Barbecue is great! Some of the actual stores on the streets are open. I saw one art piece of a dragonfly done in shark teeth and it was maybe an 8x12???....really wanted it, but way too expensive. Loved it though. I think anyone would very much enjoy coming down to the market! Recomnend coming early!!

Great little farmer's market. Except do not park in the post office parking lot even on a Sunday when the post office is closed because they will tow you. We were at the market for maybe 1/2 hour. Yes there are signs that say no parking 24/7. So it cost me an Uber ride to my car and $188 recovery fee to get my car back!!

Fabulous Sunday market with great innovative vendors with crafts and products. Usually about once a month they hold a special market with additional vendors and it's fun to explore all the new stuff. One of my favorite vendors makes jewelry out of coins, When In Roam. Everything you can imagine from rings to bracelets and her European coin collection is great. Check out the photos of her merchandise.

Located on beautiful St. Pete Beach, Mastry’s Brewing Co & Kitchen is a brewpub and kitchen that offers delicious beer and food that will have you fall in love with their beach bar atmosphere. With awards for their Hefeweizen, chocolate coffee porter, and more, Mastry’s is sure to please any taste bud. Throw an umbrella over your shoulders and enjoy some great tunes while enjoying your meal.

The Hop Passport drew us to Mastry’s and we are so glad it did. This is a great place to get a refreshing cold beer made on the premises, there’s bound to be one you will like. In addition the food truck dedicated to the brewery serves great bar food and the patio is cooled by two heat pumps that make it pleasurable to eat outside.
We will be back.

Chill vibes, cold beer, and good food. We stumbled on this little gem on a rainy afternoon and so glad we did.
It's a really cool spot that's like a converted garage with a food truck. Plenty of seating most is open air. They do have fans, but it's a tad warmer in the patio area than the dining area.
We ordered nachos and chicken from the food truck. Portions were generous and tasty. Great selection of craft beers & wine. The bartender was friendly and knowledgeable.
The kids were so entertained in the patio area with ring toss, giant connect 4, and the game system they didn't even bother us, so that is definitely a win!
We really enjoyed our afternoon and will definitely be back when we're in the area.

Nice local brew pub with an interesting offering of craft beers and a food truck for dining options. Sampled the IPA and the Blond Ale, both were very nice. Wife had the Pinot Grigio (on tap) and it was local and very enjoyable. As luck would have it, Wednesday is "Wine down Wednesday" with $2 off on glasses of wine and also "Wing Wednesday" for bone-in and boneless chicken wings for $1 apiece. We had the bone-in at the recommendation of our bartender and opted for the buffalo wing sauce, they were great! The pub is an "open air" establishment which is good and bad...nice on a breezy beach day but hot at other times. The food truck is now absent "Maggie" but Chef Michael did a great job with our wings and a gyro pita that we split afterwards. We were told a new menu will soon be released with more of his influence in food options. If you want to visit from any of the resorts on Gulf Boulevard, consider taking the free trolley and get off a few blocks away in 75th Street and avoid driving. Sign up for the text club and get a free draft. Cans are also available to take your favorites home with you. A nice, affordable, and tasty option to the high priced strip offerings...give it a try!

Mastry's is perhaps the most enigmatic of the Tampa Bay area breweries: from the first time you visit, you'll want to come back – yet if you're rating the place on the beer alone, what's most often brewed doesn't stack up against the better local options (see my review on Grand Central and others who make the top cut). Even more odd, the best beers that have ever come out of Mastry's tanks are their mixed fermentation beers – a style that Mastry's appears to only very rarely brew (which sadly could be a result of the area's slowness in embracing beer styles that are outside what we call "beer flavored beer"). In our case, we haven't seen one on the menu for over a year, but we're eager to see this style return.
But all is not lost, not even close: the permanent food truck slings some very creative takes on some of those casual American faves not unlike what you'll eat at local joints like Datz. So far, nothing we've grabbed from the truck has been anything less than great. Even better, Mastry's has somehow turned an old gas station on a reasonably busy street into a beachy oasis that you'll likely feel the urge to return to again and again for its atmosphere. It's not uncommon for us to bike over from St Pete, skipping the beach in favor of just hanging around Mastry's patio and sharing conversation.
Though we'd love it if Mastry's would lean a little further into what they clearly do best on the beer side – mixed fermentation / foeder styles not unlike what you'll get from 3 Fonteinen (Belgium) or St Pete's own Webb City – we're still content coming by and grabbing a serviceable cold one on a hot day and pairing it with food truck greats that we're assured we'll burn off on our ride back home.

It was too cold to go to the beach so we decided to try some breweries while we were at St Pete Beach for a quick family vacation.
This place was right down and street from the resort and it was awesome!
They had so many great beer options that both my wife and I had to get a flight.
I grabbed the Doppelbock, Oktoberfest, Pais Tropical Hazy IPA, and Ecstasy of Gold Hazy. All of them were great but I fell in love with the Dahminator Doppelbock. It was amazing. My wife decided on the Barrel aged Strong Ale, 4 Eyed Fruity Tropical, Honey Basil Amber, and the Blueberry Wheat. Her favorite was the Honey Basil and the Blueberry Wheat. I tried hers and the Honey Basil was great but I’ve always love barrel aged beers and that may have been my favorite.
We ordered the tacos and nachos from the food truck as well and the tacos were on point! My son loved his nachos as well.
It was a beautiful but cool day which is why we didn’t go to the beach but that made it a great day to sit outside on their patio. We had the whole place to ourselves so my daughter had a blast with their big Jenga blocks and the large connect four. Next time we are in town we will definitely be making it a priority to stop here!
Cheers!

The Gulf Beaches Historical Museum in Pass-a-Grille houses exhibits on local history and features a gift shop. It is a family-friendly museum with nice beaches outside of the city.
Very interesting museum right off the beach. Learn about the history of the area including schools where you wore your swim suit to class. And did you know Babe Ruth spent time in the area.

I have been to the museum twice. It offers a great deal of historical information regarding coastal Pinellas County. From old documents to photographs to artifacts found on land and water. Seeing the old maps of Pinellas mangroves and orange groves to what it has now become is a bit sad. The WW2 room was my favorite. The museum can be done in 15 minutes for a quick walk through to it being a hours long excursion-it just depends on how much you want to delve into it. The volunteer docents are knowledgeable and are eager (sometimes too eager) to answer any questions. They also have free bags of goodies for children which was a nice touch.

Colonel Michael J. Horan Park is a great place to take the family in St. Pete Beach, Florida. The park features a playground and several sports fields, as well as the Gulf Beaches Historical Museum. It's also home to a few small trees and some walking trails, making it perfect for a quick walk.

No bench by the play area. I have a permanent injury in my hip that makes standing hard. Would be nice to sit and look after my toddler. The picnic tables here are too far from the play area. With the water here I wouldn't feel safe sitting that far in case she made a break for the water. Also it's pretty warn down. The "features" are either worn out or water stained (like the spyglass is so full of hard water on the lens you can't see thru, the whirls have no knobs. Etc) I think this is the only playground on this island so I guess vacationers and rich people don't need playgrounds

Perfect for Publix subs and some adult beverages. Everything is so fresh and made with extra love 💘. We've been going here for over 18 years. Never been disappointed with the selection and service. 💯🌞

Fantastic French bakery located here. We also took advantage of Remi’s Segway tours here too. Make sure you don’t park here if your not visiting a business located here. They will tow your car faster than you can imagine. Saw them tow several in less than 20 minutes.

Would not give a penny to any of these stores. Parked there to use the restroom, within 10 minutes my car was towed. What a scam. I understand no beach parking. We were not beach parking it was obvious of that we actually were at A-1 towing before our car arrived there how can that be if we were beach parking. They should be ashamed of themselves. What a scam they have going on that same day 4 other cars were towed within 30 minutes one was 2 elderly women that just came from Publix and went to say Hi to some friends. How is this right.

Wish I had a plaza like this at home, quaint Italian style bakery/Cafe in one corner, adjacent is an excellent pizza and Italian restaurant, next to that a THC emporium, a bar, liqor store, and ice cream shop follow from there. And that's just one side of the plaza! Not fair!

This is a very busy and small shopping center. I went into the cvs and the staff their weren't overly friendly. Basically had the attitude of I'm just here for my paycheck. I didn't visit any other stores but dislike going here unless absolutely necessary. Not to mention how small the parking lot is, but there are people walking everywhere. The public beach access is across the street therefore alot of people walk over for food or supplies. Also there's a chik fil a here which adds to the traffic. I avoid this location as much as possible.

Great shopping area with lots of choices. Publix is large and has a deli area right in the front for easy grab and go lunches. Solar tree is right next store and has beachy things.
Tracy Cooper — Google review
Publix grocery store, a local market, has sandwiches to order...a quick snack for the beach across the street. Hungry Howie's Pizza is excellent, right next door. Try the flavored crusts. Dollar Tree has snacks, drinks and personal items as well. CBD American Shaman offers hemp products that rival medical marijuana. Ask for free samples. Try 'The Joint' for an enlivening experience. But, start slow , they are potent. But, they're great for a day at the beach. 😁 Take the SunRunner into downtown and check out the pier, great restaurants and bars and wind down before driving home.

It's convenient. If you are a local, there are better places to go off the beach. Mostly tourists here and the prices are also for tourists!

Wonderful selection of produce that was very fresh. Clean store. Nice deli and various options of items. Only complaint was that almost every item we selected was nearly triple the price of our normal grocery store. Convenient, but costly. Actually cheaper to eat out than purchase food to prepare.

The Pass-A-Grille Beach Community Church is a welcoming and friendly church that offers visitors an experience that is unique and spiritual.

The area is extremely nice and clean!
I paid maybe $10 or so for a couple hours of parking which I felt was ok since it’s literally sitting on the beach and I prefer not to get towed LOL
There seemed be a restaurant or bar down the strip but I of course I had other plans

The owner is so nice and so helpful and made our visit in the gallery fun and exciting. Thank you so much, we will defiantly be back in the future.

Wow, what talent displayed in this gallery. Carefully curated and artfully displayed, this gallery is the best I've visited in the St. Pete / Tampa area. Beautiful jewelry, pottery, glass, paintings and much more. Vincent is very friendly; not at all into high pressure sales. Great place for thoughtful gifts. Everything locally crafted and very beautiful.

Ordered a frame for a picture. I chose my material and was told 3 weeks to get it done. No worries. 3 weeks and it was done. A bit pricey, but it came out great

The art here is a mix of paintings, home decor and sculpture. Prices are decent given the quality, and a few would make a nice gift. My favorite pieces are made of glass block, but the offerings change, so stop back. Friend recommend this place for custom framing, too

I love this place. Hidden gem in St Pete. I’ve bought originals and prints here. The owner is so friendly, always. She honestly has the best art this side of Florida. I’ve shopped all the downtown St Petersburg galleries and this one, on the beach, is by far the best! She has FL artists-some pretty heavy hitters that only bring their originals here. You’ll thank me after visiting!

Owner left a note on our vehicle about parking in front of her store. My and wife spent the day shopping and eating on Corey ave. Only store we didn’t go in was this one why? It’s a Public street with public parking. Owner is a joke
Edit. I do not work anywhere on Cory ave and do not drive a truck. So this just got more entertaining. I won’t frequent business that have issues with neighboring ones either.
Edit 4/19/2022. I’m not sure how that my email is blowing up like this. I shared an experience which I felt obligated my peers should know. I have no association with any business on Cory or do not or have not ever worked anywhere, you’re clearly unhinged. And my review represents my experience.

I have been a member of Tampa Bay Beaches Chamber of Commerce for a number of years and due to my work in many different areas of the United States, I am also a member of a number of other Chambers.

Egan Park is a beautiful and serene urban park on St Pete Beach. It's perfect for a peaceful walk or picnic with friends, and there's also a concession stand for when you get hungry. The park features tennis courts, basketball courts, a fishing pier and boat ramp, and beautiful gardens and ponds.
Great place right on the water. My son loves going to look at the fish after t-ball.

The Corey Avenue Historic District is a delightful retail area that caters to all tastes. It boasts a range of distinct shops, boutiques, and art galleries. Additionally, there are several bars and eateries to enjoy. It's an excellent location to discover one-of-a-kind gifts or mementos from your trip to St. Pete Beach.

Quaint historic district with shops, restaurants and nightlife. The Sunday morning market is not to be missed! The street is closed to traffic and tents line the streets for pedestrians to stroll and shop. Independently owned small businesses sell their arts, crafts, foods and more. Great experience!

Corey Avenue is our official Downtown St Pete Beach community. It has many great choices for food / snacks / coffee / or Dinner. Monthly they have a tented arts and craft street fair - fun and at the community pool area just a few blocks away they also host arts and craft tented events. We also have a SUNDAY street market. There is also a large community pool on the water with kids field gyms and fun. A must do if you visit our community. I love the LIVE MUSIC at Chill Restaurant & Bar on the street on weekends - MUSIC and GREAT FOOD at this restaurant. . You do need a reservation as it is a BIG hot spot here. If you are on vacation, this is a nice area to chill at night. It is a family community with beaches right down the street and plenty fun activities to enjoy.

What a fun market. Every sunday, rain or shine, this Fresh marlet offers all sorts of tasty foods, fresh baked breads, and even hot foods cooked to order from local food trucks and vendors. This market is one of the longest running markets in Pinellas county and there is plenty of fun things to take home whether you are stopping by on vacation, or a long time reaident of South Pinellas County. But dont forget to stop inside the Brick & Mortar Shops that are open with the market every Sunday. There are so many great deals happening all at once.

I took a class on making a beachy charcuterie board and it was not well organized. The teacher let us know we were her guinea pigs and the completed boards showed just that. It was a waist of 67.00! Not enough heat guns for everyone, she forgot material that was needed, couldn't see her demo of the process as her work station was out of view, no written instructions were provided and not enough epoxy for the large boards. Unfortunately the class wasn't much fun because she appeared nervous and kept making excuses for her short comings. She left the epoxy in her car when it was temperature sensitive and she couldn't believe she left pigment at home she said must have drank to much wine. I didn't pay 67.00 for excuses and a lame looking beachy board. Never Again:(
