St. Pete Beach & the Gulf Beaches
St. Pete Beach to John’s Pass: boardwalks, beach bars, and big sunsets.
The barrier-island run from Pass-a-Grille up through St. Pete Beach and Madeira Beach strings together beach bars, dolphin boats, and the John’s Pass boardwalk. Every one of these towns claims the best sunset; all of them are right.
Known for 16 beach bars · 14 seafood restaurants · 9 brunch spots
