Places To Visit In St Petersburg Florida
There aren’t many places in the United States of America where you can enjoy sunny beaches and pristine seashores. However, Florida is an exception to this rule of lack of sunny places in the United States. Florida is one of the most southern states in the lower 48, and also one of the most attractive for tourists. Indeed, the reason it is attractive for tourists is that because it is so sunny. And in Florida, if there is a city that is the sunniest, that is St Petersburg Florida. St Petersburg holds the record of being the city which has recorded the longest string of sunshine. It was reported that the city recorded 782 consecutive days of sunshine. However, the sunshine is not the only reason to visit this town, which is often called ‘the sunshine city.’ There are many other reasons to visit St Petersburg Florida – we have listed some of them here.
Fort De Soto Park
St Petersburg is located in Pinellas County. Pinellas County operates a large park that is located over five islands, called the Fort De Soto Park. The park has some of the most beautiful beaches in the Tri-city area. But more than that, it offers a lot of opportunities for adventure sports and fun. You can set up camp in any of the various campsites in this park. The different types of adventure sports in this park make it a fun place for kids and family in general. You can also look at the Fort De Soto Batteries, which are colonial era batteries that were used to defend the tri-city area at that time.
The Salvador Dali Museum
The Salvador Dali Museum is located in downtown St Petersburg. You will find it on the 5th Avenue, by the Bay Shore Drive. It is one of the largest collections of art by Salvador Dali outside Europe.
600 Block Art District
The 600 block of St Petersburg is one of the unique neighborhoods in the country. It houses many shops that offer second-hand products, but which have an artistic side to them. These items have been carefully selected, making them unique in many ways. You can even sell your items, at stores such as MISSED outfitters. Modern items can be found on All Sewn Up Boutique, which is another one of the many stores in this district.
Boyd Hill Nature Park
Tampa Bay once had a reputation as a wild region, where roamed many wild animals and snakes. Presently, the wildness has been tamed, but not before the city planners created the Boyd Hill Nature Park, which still houses many of the endangered species of the region. If you like wildlife and animals, this is the place to visit for you.
St Petersburg Florida has some different attractions for people of all susceptibilities. Whether you are with the family, or alone, you will enjoy it here.
