Combining the grace, style and sophistication of old Florida with a charming seaside atmosphere, St Petersburg is a perfect destination for a relaxing tropical holiday.

Beaches are St Petersburg's main draw-card. The barrier island of St Pete Beach, with its long sandy beaches bathed in the warmth of the Gulf of Mexico, offers opportunities for swimming, fishing, sailing, jet skiing, snorkeling and scuba diving on the water, as well as golf, tennis and, of course, sun bathing on the land. Nature lovers can head south to Fort DeSoto Park and experience canoeing and bird watching in the mangroves. A myriad of trails allows for running, biking, and roller-blading through the park, and there are several piers for fishing.

The city is home to several noteworthy museums, including the Florida International Museum, an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institute, the Florida Holocaust Museum and the Salvador Dali Museum, which houses the largest collection of works by this Surrealist artist. The Pier is another popular destination, with a variety of shops and restaurants, as well as lively outdoor entertainment.

St Petersburg is renowned for its world-class seafood restaurants, each with its own creative menu and distinctive atmosphere. Gorge yourself on fresh grouper, mullet, pompano, red snapper, shrimp or stone crab in relaxed, casual surroundings. The city has a variety of nightlife, including jazz clubs, gambling ships, dinner cruises, beach bars and outdoor concerts. The Coliseum has different dance themes throughout the year, while Jannus Landing in historic downtown showcases local talent and name-band bookings.

Tampa International Airport, 30 minutes from St Petersburg, is served by all major airlines, while those connecting from other US cities can use St Petersburg/ Clearwater International Airport. Transport from either airport to the city is frequent and convenient.
