St. Pete Beach Information
We often visit St. Pete Beach at sunset to see the awesome swath of color created by the setting sun across the Gulf of Mexico. Some evenings are absolutely breathtaking. In addition to the beaches, St. Pete Beach calls out to area residents to visit numerous restaurants which cater to both casual and upscale dining. Its also a destination place for visiting specialty shops. Tourists find both luxury hotels, such as the DonCeSar and Tradewinds, and multiple mid-price range opportunities. The local residents have a wide variety of single family homes and condominiums to choose from. The intracoastal side of town offers both water and non-waterfront homes, all of which are within minutes of the beaches. The Gulf side contains multiple public beaches, a few single family homes, condominiums and commercial properties. Water views are available for everyone to enjoy!
St. Pete Beach, Florida is a significant tourist destination with 4.5 miles of sugary white sand beaches. Its a barrier island community located just off the mainland of St. Petersburg. St. Pete Beach has a population of approximate 10,000 people (2005) increasing to 20,000 during the winter months. St. Pete Beach was formed from the towns of Pass-a-Grille, Don Cesar and Bella Vista in 1957. It was originally named St. Petersburg Beach but in 1994 the locals voted to change the name to St. Pete Beach.
St. Petersburg Information
I love St. Pete (the locals shorten the name)! This is, in my opinion, one of the best places to live. Tampa Bay has professional sports (football, hockey and baseball), theater, world class museums, symphony, outstanding hospitals, two universities and numerous colleges, white sandy beaches (frequently named as the best beaches in the world), an international airport, multiple waterfront parks, upscale shopping, fine restaurants and wonderful weather. Its no wonder why this little city has grown so dramatically with all these features. Since St. Pete is a peninsula, we enjoy off shore breezes on both sides of the city. Housing opportunities vary from charming, historic homes to contemporary to townhomes to high rise condominiums. Among the numerous options are waterfront, golf course frontage and gated communities.
Nicknamed "The Sunshine City", St Petersburg is nestled on a peninsula between Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. It has a population of about 248,000 people and is the fourth largest city in Florida. St Petersburg was incorporated on February 29, 1892 when it had a population of 300 people. The city was co-founded by John C. Williams and by Peter Demens and named after St Petersburg, Russia, the former home of Peter Demens. In 1914 Tony Jannus piloted the first commercial airplane service across Tampa Bay from St Petersburg to Tampa.
