Saint Petersburg Things To Do

Apricot Wheat Ale

by arasnosliw

The award winning Dunedin Brewery is home to some good tasting local brews. This is a Scottish-settled town north of St. Petersburg. The brewery produces several types of oh-so-mouthwatering potent concoctions: Pipers Pale Ale (voted best in Florida), Apricot Wheat Ale, Celtic Gold Ale, Beachtale Brown Ale, Redhead Red Ale, and Leonard Croon's Old Mean Stout. When the season's right, try some Oktoberfest Beer or Christmas Farm Ale.

The brewery is located on the Main Street in Dunedin, a quaint historic area with many wonderful shops. There is a Scottish Pub at the brewery with live music to drink and dine at.

My taste buds are salivating while dreaming of an apricot ale.

	The Pier (in St. Pete's) Tip Rating:

By arasnosliw on December 31, 2004

One-in-all type of place

by arasnosliw

"The Pier" in St. Petersburg is home to a variety of shops, restaurants, an aquarium, and concerts. It's a great place to take the entire family, and even at night the bars are brewing with people.

The half mile long wharf dwindles down to this upside-down triangle shaped yellow building.

One of the many restaurants here is Columbia Restaurant, a branch of the original in Ybor City (Tampa), that serves delicious traditional Spanish/Cuban cuisine.

You can rent bikes, segways here or sign up to go on a boat tour of Tampa Bay.

The pier even hosts an art and design center.

There's something interesting for all tastes at the Pier, so it's a good bet if you're traveling with others and can't decide upon one activity in particular.

Address: 800 Second Ave. N.E., St. Petersburg, 33701

Phone: 727-821-6443

Directions: Head East on Second Avenue NE.

	small town charm in Safety Harbor Tip Rating:

By arasnosliw on December 31, 2004

train tracks welcoming you to
downtown

by arasnosliw

Safety Harbor is located in northeastern Pinellas county, on the northwest corner of Old Tampa Bay. Just a bit north of the St. Pete's-Clearwater Airport on 611, Safety Harbor embodies a small town feel with a charming downtown district full of Ma & Pa shops and restaurants. The waterfront is just steps away from downtown, and the narrow streets are always full of people jogging and walking their dogs.

Directions: northeastern Pinellas County Take 611 to 580 West.

	The Pier Tip Rating:

Updated By NC_Ziggy on February 28, 2005

Inverted Pyramid Architecture

by NC_Ziggy

The Pier has a long and lasting presence in St. Petersburg and I personally find it in its present state a most unique visual and enduring part of this city. It began its life in 1899 and after construction of the beloved Million Dollar Pier in 1926, it has come to symbolize both a historical remembrance and a view to the future. Upon my early arrival here, I drove around the city and found my way to this remarkable place!

The Pier is a 5 story structure with numerous specialty stores, galleries, boutiques, and various eateries! But it is also functional as you may think a pier to be, educational, and entertaining as you will see!

	The Pier at Dusk Tip Rating:

Updated By NC_Ziggy on July 26, 2005

Evening Stroll Anyone?

by NC_Ziggy

Can you imagine what a lovely place this might be to stroll along the half-mile length of the pier hand-in-hand with the ONE you Love... soaking in the visual charms of the ocean, the city of St. Petersburg, the sun or moon casting light and shadows while the warm breeze brings the aroma of the salty waters to your senses. Can you imagine?

For the romantic and dancing inclined, there are various opportunities for Salsa and music, cocktails with a view, and intimate meals. Are you here yet? :-)
