St. Pete Beach Access

"Parking lot is very close to the beach and the boardwalk is relatively short. There is a sprayer you can use to wash your feet off, and it is tall enough to spray off your entire body if you need to. Parking is $4 an hour, and you have to have a Florida tag in order to park there. I felt that the price was definitely worth it. We went the first week in February, and the beach seem to be pretty well maintained. There are nice shells, and lots of sand. If you do not like sand you will probably not enjoy this beach."

"Beautiful spot with adequate and easy parking, a bathroom, outdoor showers to wash off salt & sand, and a boardwalk to the beach. The sand is a gorgeous, soft white and was very clean when we went. I walked barefoot with no issues. It was the perfect place to watch the sunset! I got in the water and the bottom was mostly soft sand. There were still some shells at this spot."

"I went at sundown on a relatively colder day (~55F), and the beach was great! Super fine, white sand and no seaweed or debris once you get past the beachhead/parking lot area. The parking lot is just a stones throw away from the whole beach. Not much people around at the time I went, so I’d say it’s pretty quiet and calm. I imagine you can get pretty good photos here as well given how clean the beach and sight lines/views are. Highly recommend making a stop here for the sunsets!"

"We visited this beach in late October and the weather was perfect! Soft, white sand, gentle, clear ocean, and not too crowded. Perfect place to relax with a book and to take a nice dip in the Gulf. Several places to rent a sun shade and chairs, as well as stand up paddle boards. Great place to watch a sunset as well!"

"I love going here on the weekends and take photos. Very peaceful and relaxing. Once the sun comes up, expect many people to arrive. Parking is free before 8am."
