Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Stephen Thomas and Julia Howard
We are so happy to show you a small glimpse of our town. We are proud St. Petersburgers. We’ve broken down good places to go while you are here mostly by area. But the really really good places have their own description. We are not incorporating the beach into our wedding. But we recommend that you check out our white sandy beaches. It’s what we’re known for.

Saint Pete Beach

Saint Pete Beach, FL

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.
