Beautiful location in Vinoy Park and at the entrance of our new St. Pete Pier (opening June 2020). Great artwork and gorgeous surroundings. Tons of places to eat/drink on beach drive, or just hang out under the banyan trees in the park.

This has been rated #1 best beach by Trip Advisor. And it is fantastic, but be warned if you're looking to just relax and check out by the sea, this is not your beach. It is huge tourism and not the easiest to get to or park.

It's all about the ambiance. Right on Tampa Bay and only a few minutes from our house. Usually packed on the weekends as a local hangout, live music, awesome bloody marys and pretty good food (tuna nachos). A perfect tourist experience. Sometimes we take our boat there for Sunday brunch.

By far, one of our favorite seafood joints. Very casual with indoor and outdoor seating. It's simple, it's affordable and it's super fresh and delicious. Great happy hour pricing as well. We go here often and tend to take our out-of-town family and friends at least once during their visit. There are a few other fancier seafood restaurants out near the beach (Leverock's, Salt Rock Grill (grilled crablegs!), but for convenience, location and excellent food, CC is a go to.

#1 burger in the world! A super simple, very casual joint that has other food too, but seriously, if you leave St. Pete without putting one of these burgers in your belly, you're FOMO is going to be very hard to deal with.

Jen says... "OMG!!!" This place is unique every time impresses us. The octopus is cooked perfectly and has great portion sizes. A little pricy but worth every penny.

Neighborhoods
This is our 'hood. It's pretty quiet and full of water-loving folks. The park behind us is perfect for a nice stroll and an outdoor exercise gym. Very zen to walk along the side of the canal. We love this area because it's easy to get to Tampa via Gandy or Howard Frankland or go South over the Skyway bridge to Brandenton and Sarasota.

This is where the action is at! And growing by the second. While St. Pete used to known as a sleepy, retiree town, the median age is now 41 and we feel old when going to DTSP. So many amazing restaurants, breweries, bars etc. Lots of unique shops and things to gaze at. Take a $12 uber ride from our house and spend an entire day/evening checking it out. Maybe your a baseball fan and want to check out the Tropicana Field - home of the Rays. Pretty interesting watching a game inside an air-conditioned dome that also has a stingray petting tank.
