St. Petersburg
About 260,000 people.
St. Petersburg is a sunny city on the west coast of Florida, right by Tampa Bay. It is famous for having lots of sunshine almost every day, which is why people call it the "Sunshine City."
You can walk along the pretty downtown waterfront, visit the colorful Dali art museum, or splash at the sandy beaches nearby. There are also fun parks, boats to watch, and yummy fresh seafood to try.
Downtown & Waterfront
Downtown St. Petersburg sits right along the water with parks, piers, and shops. The bright new Pier is a great place to see boats and the shining bay.
Beaches
Soft white sand and warm gulf water make the nearby beaches perfect for swimming and building sandcastles. St. Pete Beach is one of the most loved spots to enjoy the sun.
Art & Museums
The Dali Museum holds amazing dreamlike paintings inside a building with a big glass bubble. The city is also full of colorful wall murals painted by talented artists.
Parks & Nature
Sunny parks and gardens let families picnic, bike, and watch birds and dolphins. You might spot pelicans flying over the water or manatees swimming slowly by.
