Things To Do
Saint Pete Beach
St. Pete has 35 miles of beautiful beach. Parking is difficult and we suggest the trolley or ubering out. Each beach has it's own atmosphere, but all have great views of the Gulf. St. Pete beach is good for bar hopping. We recommend: Level 11 for the view, Undertow Bar, Bongos Bar, Jimmy B's Bar, and Hotel Zamora. Pass a grille is a more low key beach that is more family friendly. We recommend: The Don Cesar Hotel its big and pink and beautiful and The Brass Monkey for a drink. Treasure Island is a large wide sandy beach. Adjacent to it is Sunset beach which is a popular LGBTQ spot. We recommend: Ricky T's Bar, VIP Mexican, and Caddy's Bar.
The Dali Museum
It's the best museum in town, but we may be biased. For our guests we are offering a special private tour Saturday morning of the wedding. There are 20 spots available. This is first come first serve. Please email groups@thedali.org to reserve your spot and enjoy the unparalleled collection of Salvador Dali works.
Bodega on Central
Our favorite cuban sandwich and right down the street from our apartment. We also recommend the market salad and pollo asado sandwich.
Mazzaro's Italian Market
Just get everything. Sneak some fresh pasta back on the plane with you. Pick up a sandwich on your way to the beach. Be warned that this place gets busy especially on Saturday. Go early. They have weird hours, be sure to check out their website.
Red Mesa Cantina
Red mesa has three different locations and concepts. We recommend them all. Solid food and atmosphere.
