The Hurricane Restaurant on Pass-a-grille beach is a must. Three levels of eating, panoramic views and more beach than you need! It's a famous place, so ask any local. Watching the sunsets over any beach with/without cocktails!
Sunday Night Drum Circle
by tampa_shawn
Treasure Island Drum Circle is an absolutely wonderful way to watch the sunset and participate in some local culture.
It happens every Sunday – starting approximately an hour before sunset till 10 PM
The event is free and open to everyone….make music, dance, or just listen.
Drums, Tibetan Chimes & Singing Bowls, Quartz Crystal Singing Bowls, Shakers, Rattles, --- All Sacred Instruments of the Earth are Welcome! Modern drum sets played with sticks don't fit in very well
. . .
BRING your hand drums, any percussion instruments, violin, tuba….Blankets & chairs
Do NOT bring candles, incense, glass bottles or other flammables
In case of rain the circle will relocate to the pavillion at the park on 104th ave across from Fun Center(about a block east of the regular location)
From downtown St. Pete, go west on Central Avenue(over fifty cent toll bridge), then, when it dead ends into Gulf Blvd. turn left. Go a couple blocks south of Central Avenue on Gulf Blvd. to 104th Ave. (Public beach parking lot on beach side across from Treasure Island Fun Center,)

Fishing with Capt Harry at Hook 'em Harry
by Ewingjr98
On a recent weekday we went fishing with Capt Harry Conner who runs a company called Hook 'em Harry. Capt Harry is a fourth generation Florida fisherman who obviously loves what he does... who wouldn't want to spend their days on the water? He'll fish in the bay, gulf, or Intracoastal Waterway for just about anything you want to catch like tarpon, tuna, grouper, mackerel, redfish, trout, and sharks.
We did a 3/4-day in-the-Bay fishing trip with Capt Harry out of O'Neill's Marina in St. Pete. We met at around 7am, loaded up his 26-foot Calcutta boat with our food and drinks (he provided everything else), and were on the water to see the sun rise. Our first stop was near the pier at Fort DeSoto where Capt Harry threw the net to get small bait fish. Then we spent about 30 minutes over by the Egmont Key light hoping to snag a tarpon that pass through the area. Finally we spent the next 3 or 4 hours fishing closer to the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and up the intracoastal as far as Pass a Grille. We caught about 10 fish of legal size and numerous others that were a bit too small to keep. When we got back to the docks, Capt Harry filleted the fish, packed them in ice, and we were on our way.
