St Pete Beach Top of List in Florida

By Katy Flanagan

People keep coming back to St Pete Beach for their own reasons, whether to keep up a long-standing tradition in their family, to get married on this beautiful beach, to indulge in their favorite hobby of fishing, to go running on a relatively peaceful beach, or to escape from the crowds at Disney World. Whatever their reason, the loveliness of the beach can keep them coming back.

For those of you confused about the two, St Pete Beach is a separate city from St. Petersburg City to the east. In 1994, the citizens of several communities voted to shorten several parts of the coastal beach area to St Pete Beach. Places such as Passagrille, St. Petersburg Beach and Belle Vista area are now part of that one small city of about 10,000 residents. The city swells and lowers depending on the time of year, so snowbirds from Canada and northern states who are trying to stay warm during winter, bring the population up to around 20,000.

There are 39 acres of public beach to enjoy, and almost that many of park area. People keep coming back as the beaches are beautiful, the rates are good if you are on a budget, and avoiding the spring break college crowd at Daytona has its own benefits. The crowds can swell at the beach but not in the same wild party way.

Don't want to drive or rent a vehicle? Take the Beach Trolley around or a taxi. The Beach Trolley runs along Gulf Boulevard every 30 to 40 minutes and if you're using it a lot, consider a day or week pass. St. Petersburg, Clearwater and the rest of the Tampa Bay area are accessible by the trolley. Bats Taxi Service can get your around, and it cheaper if you have a few people coming from Tampa International airport, than getting an airport shuttle to St Pete Beach. Compare prices first. Bats Taxi phone number is 727-367-3702.

Some people prefer a private residence rather than a hotel even if that means walking to the beach a few blocks instead of being right by the water. According to one woman from Denver I met on the beach, she and her husband keep renting small homes from Frank Hurley Associates rental and real estate office, and it is has been a popular choice for those people flexible about not being right on the sandy beach. 1-8--=783-6929.

For those race fans, hope you made it in time for the Honda Grand Prix in April/09!
