St. Pete Beach was named Tripadvisor’s number 1 beach in the U.S. in 2021 and if you’ve been, you can see why. There’s nothing like putting your toes in the sand and breathing in some ocean air. If you like to shop, check out Corey Avenue Market on the weekend which is full of a ton of amazing local vendors. Walk along the beach and find a bunch of great bars and restaurants like Jimmy B’s. If you’re in the mood for a little staycation, soak up an ocean view at one of the hotels right on St. Pete Beach…there are a ton to choose from! “St. Pete Beach is my go-to when I want to catch some rays and clear my mind. When I go, I stop in at Bongo’s for some coconut shrimp and a piña colada first, then I lay out for a few hours and jump into the water to cool off. My favorite thing about St. Pete Beach is the sunsets. I always try to make my way to the rooftop of the Bellweather Beach Resort for the best view of the sun going down.” – Jenna, Stuff to Do in Tampa Bay
