✈️🏖️ A Resort-Free Trip to St. Petersburg, Florida: St. Pete offers more than just beaches — it's rich in history, culture, pro sports, and more, making it a well-rounded destination beyond the shore. | Thrillist
🗓️ Day 1: Immersing in Culture and Waterfront Charm
Morning: The city’s art scene, especially in the Warehouse Arts District, is a must-see. For breakfast, check out Eat, Art, Love, changing menu by chef Mario Brugnoli, and grab a craft coffee at Sage’s Playground.
Midday: Next to Floridarama, try glass blowing at Zen Glass Studio and create your own souvenir. The owner, a former pro baseball player, now teaches the craft. End your day at Urban Stillhouse with comfort food, whiskey flights, or original cocktails.
Afternoon: The Dalí Museum in downtown St. Petersburg boasts the largest collection of the surrealist’s works. Along Central Ave., enjoy quirky spots like No Vacancy, Dirty Laundry, and Intermezzo for craft drinks. For a sunny beer, check out Green Bench Brewing or Ferg’s. Finish your crawl at Sparrow for Asian-inspired drinks, sushi, and stunning sunsets—book a patio seat for the best view.
Evening: The St. Petersburg Shuffleboard Club, the largest and birthplace of shuffleboard, attracts a lively crowd, offering $10 play during open hours, while nearby Beach Ave. boasts restaurants with outdoor seating, including Juno & The Peacock for seafood and steaks, and Allelo for Mediterranean dishes; cap the night at Flute and Dram, a Champagne lounge and whiskey bar with live music, just a short walk away.
🗓️ Day 2: Nature, History, and Local Flavors
Morning: The revitalized St. Pete Pier is a city highlight, featuring pop-up pickleball courts (St. Pete Athletic). The Pier is also a home to a roller skating rink, a farmers market, and more. Enjoy live music and fresh-baked bread at Perry’s Porch at the pier’s base, but be ready for long waits—book ahead or sign up before exploring.
Midday: Clearwater and St. Pete offer perfect public beaches, with Pass-a-Grille being a personal favorite. Treasure Island is great for families, featuring a public waterslide. Don’t miss Frenchy’s Rockaway Grill in Clearwater, a funky beachside spot serving one of the best grouper sandwiches, embodying Florida’s laid-back vibe.
Afternoon: After Frenchy’s, head to Dunedin along the Pinellas Trail, a 60 mi greenway with breweries like Palm Harbor Brewing and Brighter Days for a refreshing stop. Rent bikes from local shops or Kafe Racer, then end your day at the historic Fenway Hotel’s patio bar for sunset views over the Gulf with a cocktail.
Evening: Dunedin blends Americana with beach vibes, featuring Black Pearl, an elegant spot with food and wine. For nightlife, head to St. Pete’s Grand Central District, where you can start with pinball at Right Around the Corner Arcade Bar, and enjoy a bar crawl in the lively neighborhood.
