We got to do a quick over night trip to St. Petersburg, FL recently and I wanted to share a recap of our visit. I am highlighting the two beaches we visited as well as restaurants we tried along with some recommended restaurants.
Where we Stayed
Since this trip was last minute, we decided to go with a small studio Airbnb. I would recommend when booking a stay in St. Pete to book in advance especially if you’re going the Airbnb route. There are also several resorts and hotels in the area including the famous Don Cesar which is beautiful. We are going to be sharing a hotel in Tampa next month so we should have a better idea on places to stay.
Beaches in the area
There are several beaches in the area. The two that were recommended from locals was Madeira Beach and North Beach Fort De Soto. Out of the two North Beach was our favorite. We went on a Saturday so it was busy, but it’s more secluded than the other beaches and it’s great for swimming too.
Restaurants
There are so many great restaurants there but listing the ones we tried which were all amazing and some other recommendations that are accommodating for allergies.
Oak and Stone Pizzeria (best pizza I’ve ever had)
2nd and Second Brunch (really great brunch, lots of allergy friendly options)
Bandit Coffee Co (great coffee and breakfast, not too much allergy friendly foods)
Fresh Kitchen (great lunch option)
Bellabrava (supposed to have great Italian and lots of allergy friendly options)
Red Mesa Cantina (supposed to be great mexican)
Paciugo Gelato (the most amazing gelato, dairy free options too!)
The Library (cool spot for brunch or lunch)
Things to do:
There are so many things to do in the local area. They have a huge downtown that we didn’t even get to explore half of it. There are tons of shops, restaurants, art galleries, museums downtown to explore and of course the beach.
We absolutely loved our short trip there and plan to go back and checkout more in the area. We hope this helps you get started when visiting the area there. We will be sharing more guides for different places throughout FL this year so make sure to follow us along on here and on our instagram & Tik Tok @autumnmturner.
