Things To Do
John's Pass Village and Boardwalk
John’s Pass Village and Boardwalk has more than 130 shops, restaurants and attractions. You'll find plenty of water activities from WaveRunner rentals and parasailing lessons to pirate cruises. One of our favorite spots is Mad Beach Brewing Company where you'll find craft beer, juicy burgers and games.
St. Pete Pier™
At the St Pete Pier you'll find rooftop bars/restaurants, live music, events, and even a playground. Don't forget to take the trolley up to Pier Teaki for drinks and gorgeous 360 views or go upstairs to Teak for a quiet dinner. Pier Teaki is often busy so don't be afraid to hover near a table checking out so you can grab seating.
Crabby's On The Pass
Our favorite spot for crab and shrimp and grits! No reservations needed. Stop by at the host desk, grab a drink, watch the pelicans and they'll call your name when a table is ready. Tip: Request a table outside by the water. There's a good chance you'll see dolphins. Park at the last lot (it's free unlike the $30 one before it).
Spinners Rooftop Grille
Access the rooftop bar with its amazing 360 views by walking into our wedding venue and taking the elevator to the Spinner's restaurant where you'll see the floor literally spins. Down the stairs is the rooftop bar with ocean views and lounge chairs. Please note, reservations needed far in advance if wanting to dine in at the Spinner's restaurant.
Mangos Restaurant & Tiki Bar
Just 5 minutes from our house, this is our go-to Tiki Bar with an amazing sunset! Park at the Doubletree Beach Resort, grab a tropical drink at the tiki bar and walk the beach.
Cambria Hotel St. Petersburg-Madeira Beach Marina
Our go-to rooftop bar just 5 minutes from our house. It boasts ocean views, rooftop pool, cabanas and intercoastal views. Tip: Avoid the fees and park at the gravel lot next to it for free to walk to the beach or bars nearby.
Caddy's Treasure Island
Caddy's is right on the beach in Treasure Island. You'll enjoy great seafood, ocean views and drink specials. Who doesn't love bottomless mimosas and sangrias?
Jimmy's Fish House & Iguana Bar
Jimmy's has 4 great locations: Jimmys Fish House & Iguana Bar, Jimmys Crows Nest, Jimmys On the Edge, and Jimmy Guanas Waterfront Restaurant. All of these locations have a beautiful ocean view, fun cocktails, great food and most have live music. Fun Fact: the owner first started this chain of restaurants in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This location, Jimmy's Fish House & Iguana Bar, has its own Green Bay Packer bar! Not to mention a large deck over the ocean with live music.
Smugglers Cove Adventure Golf
Smugglers Cove is a mini-golf course featuring waterfalls, caves and live alligators that you can feed.
Seabreeze Island Grill
The SeaBreeze Island Grill is one of our favorite spots for intercoastal views and drink specials. Snag a table outside by the water and enjoy $4 margaritas.
The Conch Republic Grill
The Conch Republic has great food and island vibes with 2 for 1 drink specials and rum flights. It's typically pretty busy so you may want to call ahead or set up a reservation.
Angry Pepper
If you're looking for good southern smoked meats, this is the place to be! Grab a corona, sit at a surf table outside and enjoy some smoked brisket or ribs. Parking is limited and very tight so you may want to look for public parking nearby.
