City advice
What to pack
bring a light jacket, sunscreen and comfy shoes for walking
When you visit St Pete, you need to know there are lots of sun seekers, people like you and I that love the palm trees and sunshine, be respectful of the beaches and do not leave trash or use single use plastics wherever possible.
Getting around
There is a bus stop just about 30 steps from my home.
Be cautious of unhoused people in St. Pete.
