St Pete Beach Florida Tourism At a GlanceBest Time to Visit St Pete Beach Florida
Anytime of the year is great beach weather. The City of St. Pete Beach is a barrier island community located just off the Pinellas County mainland with a permanent population of about 10,032 (latest estimate from the University of Florida) The city is also a popular winter residence for many people living in colder parts of the United States, Canada and Europe.
While the sheer beauty and abundance of outdoor recreational opportunities have attracted tourists to the area for decades in all seasons, it is becoming a popular getaway for couples and families to relax and de-stress. The city was incorporated in 1957 with the consolidation of the Towns of Pass-a-Grille, Don CeSar, Belle Vista, St. Petersburg Beach and unincorporated Pinellas County to become the City of St. Petersburg Beach. In 1994, the citizens voted to shorten the name to St. Pete Beach to lessen the confusion with the City of St. Petersburg, located on the mainland to the east.
St. Pete Beach is a significant tourist destination, having over 3,000 transient accommodation units, including major hotel and motel operations as well as many smaller, more intimate lodging facilities such as furnished condos.
