If you arrive early or decide to extend your visit, the beach is right down the road. Head down to Pass-a-Grill for a little rest and relaxation. There are lots of little restaurants and shops and plenty to do at St. Pete Beach (about a 20-minute drive from downtown St. Petersburg)
The Museum of Fine Arts was founded by Margaret Acheson Stuart (1896-1980) and reflects her vision of providing outstanding examples of world art in an inviting, elegant setting. The MFA, a city landmark, opened to the public in 1965–the first art museum in St. Petersburg located on the downtown waterfront.
he James Museum of Western & Wildlife Art opened in April 2018 and transports visitors through the rich and diverse heritage of the American West. Its more than 400 works of art evoke the spirit of a wide-open frontier and the beauty of life in the wild. The museum engages the community through a variety of programs and educational opportunities that bring our history and culture to life.
The CHIHULY COLLECTION is a stunning, permanent collection of world-renowned artist Dale Chihuly’s unique artwork. This presentation is unique as it is the first installation of Chihuly art in a building designed specifically for that purpose. Designed so that the art and architecture work together to create a visitor experience unlike any other exhibition of Chihuly’s art. The Collection is marked at the entrance by an iconic 20-foot sculpture created especially for the site.
Of course, we had to note the location of our favorite Crossfit gym in St. Pete. It is located about 10 minutes from downtown St. Pete. It's a really welcoming gym. We will be jumping into a CrossFit class on Friday for morning for those cross fitters who get in on Thursday night. Not looking to Uber to Crossfit there is one right downtown: CrossFit727
