St. Petersburg has a lot to offer during your St. Petersburg vacation stay. In addition to greyhound racing, spectator sports, and a plethora of museums, it is an activity hub for recreational activities. The Pier, a 5-story inverted pyramid jutting out 2400 feet into the Bay, pulls in thousands of tourists each year. Restaurants, boutiques, miniature golf, fishing, an aquarium, entertainment ... you name it, they’ve got it. Downtown, the Florida Holocaust Museum, Florida International Museum, St. Petersburg Museum of History, and the Salvador Dali Museum augment the cultural flavor of the city.

Walking and hiking are popular here in St. Petersburg, whether it’s strolling the sandy beaches, trekking the picturesque trails of Fort DeSoto Park, or walking along the paved paths through the wildlife-rich marshes of Weedon Island Wildlife Refuge. In addition to hiking trails, the Brooker Creek Preserve offers 10 miles of equestrian trails that are home to rare plants. Animals such as the bobcat and white-tailed deer are found here. Camping is available at Fort de Soto Park with 235 family-sized campsites. If connecting with nature is a priority, the leisurely Lake Seminole is a relaxing spot for boating, fishing or water skiing.

St. Petersburg was conceived and built a century ago primarily for tourists and wintering snowbirds. Here you'll find one of the most picturesque and pleasant downtowns of any city in Florida. There's a waterfront promenade and the famous, inverted pyramid-shaped Pier offering great views across the bay. Visitors will also enjoy quality museums, interesting shops and great restaurants.

Driving over the Sunshine Skyway, a breathtaking bridge that reaches heavenward on a 15-mile trek between Pinellas and Manatee Counties with fishing, swimming and picnicking facilities along the way, is a drive that will remain a St. Petersburg vacation memory for all time.
