@@brooklynnbenson6447 Hi, so sorry we didn't see your question until now. The closest dog beaches to St. Pete Beach that we are aware of are Fort Desoto (gulf side), south side of Pass a Grill (intercoastal) and south side of Treasure island (intercoastal).
St Pete beach is where our honeymoon took place 33yrs ago. Watching this video whisked me away and brought tears to my eyes , We will always be totally in love with this area of Florida...Thank you for bringing back memories
Thank you so much for this incredibly kind comment, Perry! It's so amazing to hear when our videos can help bring back such amazing memories! We really hope you get a chance to come back to St Pete Beach and experience it once again for yourselves sometime soon!
One of your best yet! I'm sitting in my lunch room at work, it looks out onto a rainy , cloudy Ohio day. It nice to dream of being in beautiful St Pete Beach!
Jamie and Skylar, I just got home from my St. Pete Beach vacay. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I found Upham Beach and the Secret Garden, Corey Ave. Passe Grille, Spinners and Level 11 and so much more. Made my trip perfect!
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment, Brenda! It's always so motivating when we here that we helped someone have a great vacation down here in the St. Pete area. We're so happy you had a great time!
Glad that y'all are back!!! St. Pete Beach is my favorite beach, I wish we could come every year. Since we cannot come as often as we want to St. Pete Beach, your videos remind us what a beautiful and amazing place that it is. Keep the great videos coming!!!
Wow you guys really did a thorough guide here!! The Sunday Market looked like a happening place. So many incredible beaches to choose from. Always a fan of budget friendly dining options, and that liquor store with more was pretty cool. Can't wait to get there one day and follow your guide.
Love St Pete Beach! Will for sure check out the budget options on our next trip! These were right up our alley! Although we love Spinners for the awesome view. Billy’s Stonecrab (Tierra Verde) for seafood, Undertow for drink and fun vibe, and Cafe Solei for the most amazing almond croissants ever. Keep up the St Pete Beach content!
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment, Kelsey! All the places you mention are great. St. Pete Beach has so many great spots to offer.
We definitely understand why. It's just an entirely different atmosphere than the rest of St. Pete Beach and still has so much of that old Florida charm!
The laid back vibe will win out with us. Haven't been to The Dewey.....yet....thanks for the heads-up! We've stopped by Hurricane Seafood Restaurant before and it was very good and an awesome roof top view as well!!
If we had another day of filming we definitely would have stopped by the Hurricane as well. They really do have an amazing rooftop with some great views! Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to comment!
Just went to last weekend’s Corey Street Market for the first time. I loved it! I want to relocate eventually. My best friend lives in the Greater Tampa -St. Pete area.
We're so glad to hear you enjoyed it, Denise. We've been getting better at taking video/photos of menus and receipts lately so we can include the prices in our videos. We often found ourselves wondering what things cost when watching other channels videos, so we decided it would be wise to start including this information in our own!
Your best video yet and I’ve seen them all I’m pretty sure. There was enough fantastic food in this video to sustain me a week and a half. I want to start my next trip where you finished for sure.
Thanks, Bob. We probably have more time invested into this video than any one prior, and we're glad that it shows. And we know you've seen them all, so this comment means more coming from you than it would from anyone else!
Thank you so much for these videos of southwest florida. You guys are awesome. I hope you guys invest your money as much as you spend it! All the best :)
Thanks Johnny! We're finally at the point where the channel is profitable... and yes we do have money invested (although all our channel profits go back into the channel). We still have a ways to go before we can both do it full time. We'll get there though. We've worked way too hard and come way too far to quit now!
Yes I have since I was a baby! My favorite is the drunken clam and we always stayed at the plaza beach! I loved your video. I’m watching videos now to get up-to-date with what’s going on I haven’t been down for three years going down this summer for a psychedelic conference
We love the Drunken Clam too, and we visited it in our first St. Pete travel guide video that we made a couple of years ago. We hope you have an amazing time when you visit this summer, and we hope our videos help you make the most of your trip!
Your brunch was massive!! SO many great spots to eat there - you always find the good ones but that sunset dinner seemed awesome. The liquor store with more is so neat! We have such limited alcohol shopping here. Wow a second sunset dinner! Spinners seemed really nice but I could see why it would be for special occasions. Great guide!!
That's awesome. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. And yeah, we think it would be a great retirement spot for someone who wants to have an active retirement!
All around great video! I love brunch so I'm definitely adding the brunch spot to my list of places to eat. I like that you guys show us a variety of places to visit and take people's budgets into account. Eating at the Don Cesar and Spinners would be a nice treat (margaritas are my drink of choice so I would go to Spinner's for the margarita alone!) but it's not something I personally would be able to do all the time (goals, though!). I started watching this on a super dreary day so I'm totally living vicariously through you guys being out in the sun. I don't get out much in the winter time here. I feel like I would be a lot more active if I lived in sunny, beautiful St. Pete. I would also never run out of things to do! I loved this video!
We share the same goals! If you are anything like us (and we're pretty sure you are), you would definitely be more active year round if you moved to St. Pete, and you would definitely never run out of things to do! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the video, as a LOT of time went into this one!
We live here in St. Pete and love your channel. We'd love to see you all do an episode of some of the best kept secrets of the area such as Gandy Beach, The Getaway @ Gandy Beach, The Hanger at St Pete airport and so much more fun and amazing places in our city.
We're really glad to hear you guys are enjoying the channel! We've definitely contemplated making some new St. Pete content outside of the What's New episodes we do each quarter. The "secret spots" idea would definitely be a fun one to make! We appreciate the suggestion.
I'm so happy to see this informative video as I'll be coming for a visit to St. Pete this spring. I'd love to try every restaurant and bar you went to! I was surprised to see how far downtown looks from the rooftop where you were; I thought it would be much closer. What a gorgeous place to call home! 🙂
As the crow flies it's only about 7 miles from DTSP to where we were, but for some reason it did look much further. That's so great to hear that you will finally be making it down to St. Pete, Rhonda! We hope our content helps you make the most of your visit!
@@Explorcation If I could set in a lawn chair and just stare at the water and never even go to all the places you go I would be happy. Went to Ft. Meyers in the 90's loved it.
@@donaldsiler6779 we get that too, before we moved to Florida many years ago, we would vacation on the gulf coast and were quite content just relaxing on the beach as well!
The Frog Pond food is awesome ! Always the benedict with the best bacon ever !!! ANd yes, first stop Publix, liqour store and Willaim Dean's for a few cartons of gelatto and candy to bring to the condo rental !!! Toasted coconut and mango !! OMG !
It sounds like you have your Florida vacation routine down perfectly! Next time we visit Frog Pond we will definitely try one of the benedicts, and we do agree that their bacon is the best!
Just as I thought watching your Punta Cana video, you make me want to spend my 25th anniversary in one of these fine hotels. But my budget is more like yours, few and far in between. Definitely one of your best videos!
Thank you! We spent three days making this one, so we're glad to here that the extra work shows. We will say that you get more for your money in Punta Cana than you do in St. Pete, but getting to St Pete is a lot easier and cheaper for most!
I'm planning on moving to the Tampa Bay area this year with my son and you two have been so incredibly helpful and entertaining. I love your videos. Thanks so much.
We're so happy to hear that you've found our channel to be helpful and entertaining, Kimberly! Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to comment!
We were at St. Beach in October of 2021. We had a blast and used your video for help. We didn't have a good experience at that revolving rooftop restaurant. But still a wonderful vacation and we'll be back!
We're glad that our old St. Pete Beach video helped you enjoy your vacation in 2021, and we hope that this video will help you to make the most out of your next one! Sorry to hear you didn't have a great experience at Spinners. We've heard some great (and not so great) reviews on the place, but we were fortunate to have and exceptional experience on our visit!
I’ll be visiting st Pete’s in August for my 8 yr anniversary. We will be staying at the Don Cesar beach house suites and spinners sounds like the perfect place to have our anniversary dinner. Thank you
@@Explorcation yea, we stayed 3/4 mile south of pipos, in that stretch that only has water behind it and it was pretty peaceful. Food was also great down there
We have not visited St. Pete Beach yet, but we are definitely more for the casual dining and the Sunday market looks great. We've been checking out Tampa, so St Pete and SPB will be next. Thanks for the great video.
Thanks for weighing in, guys. We definitely prefer the casual/budget spots as well since we travel so much, but it still was nice to experience some of the fancier spots for a change! We hope you enjoy your time in St. Pete and SPB as much as we always do!
Hey there Jamie and Skyler I love your channel. I'm here in Treasure Island/ST Petes Beach area this week. Looking forward to seeing the Don Cesar and Chris' beach bar for lunch today.
After going to siesta key for the last few years we decided to try Ana Maria Island this February. Saint Pete beach is not too far and after seeing this video we’re definitely going to take a day or two out of our trip to check it out. I just love all of your videos. Thanks for sharing
Hi Deborah! St. Pete Beach is a very different vibe from Anna Maria, but both are great in their own ways. We think visiting St. Pete Beach for a couple of days would be a perfect change of pace! Thank you so much for supporting our channel and for taking the time to comment!
I probably haven't seen all of your post. But from what Iv'e seen you missed Paradise grille on Pass-A-Grille . I did see you covered the Paradise grille on Upham beach.. Seahorse Restaurant at Merry Pier. Hurricane Hotel and the roof bar for fantastic subsets. Brass Monkey for lunch and public bar. Shadrack for the cheapest beer on pass a grille, often frequented by bikers . A real old style bar, with dart boards pool tables and a jukebox for you favourite music... The Wharf ... Seafood bar and restaurant over hanging the water and where customers can tie up their boats. Lots of seafront restaurants Like crabby bills next to the Belweather ," spinner" Woody's waterfront, The Toasted Monkey . Buoys Waterfront bar and grill. Shrimpys Waterfront at Blind pass. Sea dog Brewing company. Caddy Treasure Island and the next cheapest place for beer and bar prices, Ka Tiki across the road from Caddies then the Undertow beach Bar with an upper deck to watch sunsets. There are a few more I just need to rattle my memory a bit longer. If you are looking for another fun place look at Gulfport Where every Tuesday there is a garden market on Beach Blvd S , similar to Cory Ave on the Beach with plenty bars and restaurants! Try O'Maddys bar and grille. Hurricane Eddies, sidewalk breakfast at Stella's, Low tide kava Bar North end Tap House. Gulfport brewery and eatery! And for vegan's. The Golden Dinosaurs
@@raymondwright2985 thank you so much for sharing all of your recommendations! Hopefully your comment is helpful to other viewers as well. Weve been to several of the spots you mentioned but not all of them.
That's so great to hear. We love Treasure Island! We've learned that the Sunrunner is a pretty divisive topic here in St. Pete. But we've had great experiences with it so far, and it's always nice to hear when others have as well!
The Florida Gulf beaches are very special. On our visit to Sarasota last month, we made it up to Fort Desoto Park, but have not yet been to St Petersburg. Enjoyed the video. Thank you.
We agree 100%. It's these beautiful beaches that got us to move to Florida almost 10 years ago and we will never take them for granted! Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to comment.
We LOVE St. Pete Beach! We stayed at the Bellwether Beach Resort and highly recommend the place. Spinners was great (the hotel on top of the Bellwether). Next time I think we're going to give the Don Cesar a try while we look for the perfect vacation home.
It sure is an easy place to love, Steven! We would gladly stay at either the Don Cesar or Bellwether. We've heard nothing but rave reviews for each and both properties are beautiful, although in very different ways.
Spinner's is awesome! Haven't been in a while but can't beat the food or views- especially if celebrating a special day. Next time in St Pete, def want to find Upham Beach. We also sued to go to Sea Critters for dinner I think near or in Pass-A-Grille - even boats would pull up and folks would come in to get food and drinks. It was always a great time.
We agree... pretty much the prefect place to celebrate a special occasion. Great food and drinks and even better views! Upham Beach is definitely one our of favorites, and we hope you get a chance to visit it soon!
We come to St Pete beach and stay at the Bellwether formerly Grand Plaza we love it there Some of our fav places to eat are Gigi's,Mad Fish and Shells.
We would love to stay at the Bellwether someday. It's such a beautiful property. We've always heard great things about Shells and have been talking about visiting for what seems like years now. One of these days, we'll finally make it happen!
Thank you so much, Tracy! I don't remember exactly where I got this dress (likely a discount store like Ross or Marshall's), but the brand name is Xhilaration.
Thank you for you awesome videos, I am starting my journey to buy a pizza restaurant or coffee shop in Pinellas County, Your videos have really helped me to learn the area. Thank you so much. Oh yes I guess I should mention that I am from Canada.
Wow that's great to hear that our channel has helped you learn about the area. Best of luck to you in your journey down to Pinellas County. It's a little bit warmer down hear than in Canada right now 😄
Wow, that was an action packed video! I want to check it all out! La Croisette was a great breakfast spot too. The brunch, cheap drinks, secret garden, and rooftop bars look great! We’ll have to check it out on on next trip down there. There was a Thai place close to that liquor store that was really tasty and well priced too.
We've heard so many good things about La Croisette, and it really was a toss-up on which one we were gonna visit between that and Frog Pond. Next St. Pete Beach video we make will surely have La Croisette included! Thanks for the info about the Thai place. We love Thai food and love well priced Thai food even more!
I used to love coming here. I stayed at the TradeWinds a few times, before that at Alden. I guess Alden is now part of TradeWinds. I have to come back and see the changes. The Frog Pond is amazing, been there a few times too.
Oh wow, great video! Dreaming of being at any of these beach locations! We do love to splurge at least once at a "fancy" restaurant while we are on vacation. I think the Don Cesar is definitely on our bucket list for places to visit...but any of these restaurants look great. We stayed at the Sirata years ago...I think we are due for another visit to the area soon 🙂
The Sirata is such a nice hotel and great location, and we agree that you are definitely due for a return visit! When you are traveling as much as we are you have to stick to the budget spots more often than not, but every once in a while it sure is nice to enjoy a fancy restaurant!
Great job on this video! Beautiful place, and I will have to visit it soon one day. I just subscribed to your channel! I look forward to seeing more videos from you guys soon. Thanks! 🤗❤️👍
While we now live on the east coast of Florida near St Augustine we used to call St Pete home. In fact, 38 years ago we were engaged at what used to be the rotating Hilton (Spinners) and had our wedding reception at the Dolphin. Additionally, back in 1985 we caught Tom Petty playing from the rooftop of The Don while enjoying a sunny Sunday beach day. I’d love to go back and actually STAY overnight at the Don Cesar. And yes, one of our 2 favorite Pinellas County beaches are Pass-A-Grill and Upham. Your great video was beautifully nostalgic and makes me want to plan a visit!
Wow, you sure to have some great memories from back in the day! We're well aware of the Tom Petty rooftop video shoot, but have never actually talked to anyone who witnessed it first hand. That's pretty amazing. We would love to eventually actually stay at the Don too.... hopefully one of these years!
It was kinda surreal to see you guys go to so many of the same places we love in St Pete Beach, both the well-known landmarks and the local haunts. Glad you guys found Willy's (how is that cheap?!), Larry's (just the best - end of) and Frog Pond. La Croisette across the street is also a great breakfast if you haven't been already. I really want to check out the 11th Floor on my next visit (we have a condo on Blind Pass Road). I'd also recommend Sea Hags for their happy hour, and strolling from the beach at Caddy's into John's Pass Village after sunset - though that is a bit of a walk! Love the channel :)
We were really torn on whether we should visit La Croisette or Frog Pond in the video. We have yet to visit La Croisette, but have always heard great things about it! We hope you get a chance to check out the 11th floor soon. We've been wanting to make it back there for the late night happy hour. Maybe you'll see us up there!
In 2023 we parked our car close to a SunRunner's stop , rode the SunRunner to St Pete Beach stay there and later walked to Pass-a-grill to watch the sunset after that we took the Freebee to get the SunRunner again back our car. All of that was free. We had a drink and a meal at Pass-a-grill. This year we are planning on doing the same, only that we'll pay the SunRunner.
We're so happy to hear that you were able to utilize the different free/cheap transportation options! It really can help to make your vacation so much more enjoyable when you don't have to worry about driving or breaking your budget paying for Uber rides!
I have spent years coming down to the area from Canada but staying mostly in Treasure Island. We are leaving tomorrow for a week-long vacation in St. Petes Beach at BlueGreen at Tradewinds. We will try to hit some of the spots you have pointed out. We have been to the Don Cesar for Sunday Brunch.
You really can't go wrong with Treasure Island or St. Pete Beach. The BlueGreen and Tradewinds is in a fantastic location with so much to do and on a beautiful stretch of beach. We hope our video helps you to make the most of your vacation here!
You have to check out William Dean's chocolates in Belleair Bluffs! They were in the movie The Hunger Games. Pricey but sooo good ! I want to come to ALL the markets. I miss that Old Florida vibe ! Of course I lived on Madeira Beach when there were just a few mom and pop hotels on the beach and none of the large condos . The sunset ! OMG !!! You guys are killing me !! Digging out in Buffalo !
Thanks so much for this suggestion. We have never heard of William Dean's before, but will definitely drop in next time we are in that area! Best of luck to you as you continue to dig out in Buffalo. We'll keep posting warm weather videos to help you get through!
Will be in Tampa in Jan 2024, for the very first time. Thank for your videos to help us get a feel for where we can go for coffee and good food. Do you have any accommodation videos?
That's great to hear you have plans to visit in January! We hope our videos help you make the most of your trip. We've made a couple different accommodation videos. I believe we toured 7 different properties between the 2 videos. Unfortunately we have not yet toured any St. Pete Beach property, but all 7 of those properties are located in the beach towns just north of SPB (Treasure Island up to Indian Rocks). Links to the two videos are below. th-cam.com/video/hKiP6vAkhT4/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/Fko71kC_gxs/w-d-xo.html
We love your channel just started watching a month ago. We are in our sixties from NY and will be moving to Florida in the next year or so. Our son has lived in St Pete for 10 years now and loves it. We will be looking for a mobile home park in the Largo area. If you have not done so can you do a vid on Largo and the proximity to Clearwater beach. Just saw your vid on your channels profits, looks good. Sorry to hear about your wife hope she is feeling better. Thanks
Hey guys! We're so happy that you've discovered our channel and are excited for your upcoming move! We love Largo and actually did make a video on it a while back. I'll post a link to it below. We appreciate the well wishes for Jamie, and we're confident that she'll be back to normal within the near future! th-cam.com/video/SbpJjM1G6EY/w-d-xo.html
Watching your videos, guys. they bring lots of fun memories of the time I lived and spent in the Tampa Bay Area. listening to Bertie Higgins' song titled "Key Largo" as I watch your videos. if you haven't listened to this beautiful song, I invite you to do so.
Sending my wife and daughter down for a mother daughter weekend. She was thinking about renting a car, but I was thinking your video shows the Sun Runner and that might be more convenient (and cheaper😂). It looks like there are lots of budget friendly and nicer dining options. Does the trolleys or sun runner go to those areas? They should be down there on Thursday!!
Between the Sunrunner, the Free Beach Ride, and the Freebie, there are plenty of options to get around the island without renting a car. It will likely save quite a bit of money over renting a car and you also don't have to worry about parking. We hope your wife and daughter have a great time!
We had planned on going to Spinners last year but upon viewing the menu prices online we altered our plans. Mainly because we'd already stopped by a higher end establishment the night before. That view looks spectacular though so we'll definitely have to see about getting there this year or next.
That's totally understandable. We normally would not eat had more than one higher end restaurant on one vacation either. That being said, the food was good, and we think the view makes it all worth it, especially if you book your dinner during sunset!
What's hidden is the extra hundreds of dollars the hotels charge you credit or debit cards! The Dolphin inn ripped me off of over $800 extra dollars. Ive talked to other guests and they all had the same problem with the Dolphin starting the begining of this year!
So sorry to hear this! Love your content! We will be staying at the St. Pete KOA for our spring break. We would love suggestions of recommendations of things to do and places to eat/consume adult beverages that are close by!
Thank you 💕 You will be right off of the Pinellas Trail! We'd recommend riding the trail for something active. You will be close to Harbor Master for a Tiki Bar experience. If you head out to Madeira Beach (which will be the closest beach to where you are staying) we recommend... Saltwater Hippie for live music, Dockside Dave's for a meal and the rooftop bar at Cambria for drinks at sunset.
@@theterrytrailertrash YW! Hmm i know there are good spots, but we haven't explored many in this area. All of our kayak/paddling spots are further south in the Sarasota area. We would suggest researching paddling from the Dunedin Causeway to Caladesi Island.
That is great news! Thanks, I’ll let them know. I’ll also let you know likes and dislikes when they get back. Although looking at your videos not much would be a dislike!! Thanks again!
Hi, found your videos and I love how detailed they are. Could you recommend a place to stay when in St Petes. i want to go on a girls getaway. with my daughters, ages 22 and 19
Hi, thanks so much for watching :) there are so many options on St Pete Beach, it totally depends on your budget and what type of experience you are looking for. If you've got a generous budget there are spots like Bellwether and the Don Cesar. If you are looking for an older resort experience then there are options like the Bon-Aire Resort. Also there are a variety of rentals to choose from though Resort Rentals!
We want to hear your thoughts about St Pete Beach...
2) Which restaurants would be most excited to try? The more pricey options like Spinners and the restaurants at the Don Cesar? the more budget friendly options like Willy's and Bill's? or a mix of both?
3) Last, let us know what YOUR favorite St. Pete Beach spots are!

Is there any pet friendly beaches in St. Pete??
@@gregmucha3027 thanks so much for watching, your license plate and a great new home 😁
Is there any good Asian buffet with good seafood close to Zamora ?
@@brooklynnbenson6447 Hi, so sorry we didn't see your question until now. The closest dog beaches to St. Pete Beach that we are aware of are Fort Desoto (gulf side), south side of Pass a Grill (intercoastal) and south side of Treasure island (intercoastal).

Same!
We're glad that we could help you to have a brief escape from your dreary Ohio day, Keith!
Grew up there. Nice.
Jamie and Skylar, I just got home from my St. Pete Beach vacay. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I found Upham Beach and the Secret Garden, Corey Ave. Passe Grille, Spinners and Level 11 and so much more. Made my trip perfect!

Glad that y'all are back!!! St. Pete Beach is my favorite beach, I wish we could come every year. Since we cannot come as often as we want to St. Pete Beach, your videos remind us what a beautiful and amazing place that it is. Keep the great videos coming!!!
Thanks so much, Billy. It was a scary few days but we are so thankful to have our channel back!
@@billyyandle1947 Hello, it's a great pleasure meeting you 👋
This is one of the best episodes.
Thanks, Scully. We probably had more time invested in this video than any of our prior videos. Hopefully it shows!
We are visiting St. Pete Beach Dec 1 - 4 2023. Love the suggestions provided in this video.
Thank you! We hope the video helps you to make the most of your trip!
Love ❤️ this ❤️ Brian and Wendy
Thanks, guys!
I love the Don Cesar. It's the grande dame of the beach. Love the outdoor patio and the beach back there. Best sunsets.
We really did enjoy our time there and can sure see why you love it so much!
Wow you guys really did a thorough guide here!! The Sunday Market looked like a happening place. So many incredible beaches to choose from. Always a fan of budget friendly dining options, and that liquor store with more was pretty cool. Can't wait to get there one day and follow your guide.
Thank you! It was a long but fun three days. We can't wait for you guys to get down here either!
Great review of St Pete beach! Alot of great fishing close to the beaches and the bay as well! 🤙🦀🌴
Thanks, Drew. We definitely live in an outdoorsman/fisherman's paradise!
Love St Pete Beach! Will for sure check out the budget options on our next trip! These were right up our alley! Although we love Spinners for the awesome view. Billy’s Stonecrab (Tierra Verde) for seafood, Undertow for drink and fun vibe, and Cafe Solei for the most amazing almond croissants ever. Keep up the St Pete Beach content!
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment, Kelsey! All the places you mention are great. St. Pete Beach has so many great spots to offer.
Great video showcasing my city. Lived on St. Pete Beach my entire life. 🌴🌴🌴
Thank you! That means so much coming from a life long resident!
For me personally I love Pass A Grille Beach!
We definitely understand why. It's just an entirely different atmosphere than the rest of St. Pete Beach and still has so much of that old Florida charm!
And Shell Key off Merry Pier...
Going Feb 10th 2023! Can't wait. Thanks so much, I'm always looking for budget local bars to chill and grab a bite.
Our pleasure! We hope you have an awesome time in February. It will be here before you know it.
The laid back vibe will win out with us. Haven't been to The Dewey.....yet....thanks for the heads-up! We've stopped by Hurricane Seafood Restaurant before and it was very good and an awesome roof top view as well!!
If we had another day of filming we definitely would have stopped by the Hurricane as well. They really do have an amazing rooftop with some great views! Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to comment!
Just went to last weekend’s Corey Street Market for the first time. I loved it! I want to relocate eventually. My best friend lives in the Greater Tampa -St. Pete area.
We're glad you enjoyed it, Deb! We hope you are able to get down here permanently sooner than later!
From Wisconsin, we go every year. Best beach in the USA by far. So many good beaches, restaurants and bars!
It's hard to argue with you. The number of bars/restaurants and beach quality is tough to beat!
Best beach!
@@marknewton6984 thanks so much for watching!
We love st Petes such a relaxing place spinners is one of our fav restaurants.pass a grille is a wonderful to see a sunset
It sounds like you love St Pete Beach as much as we do! It really is a great place.
Pass a Grille is one of my favorite beaches.
We totally understand why. It's got a vibe of its own!
Me too😎!
Great video !! Love that you included the prices of the entrées and which restaurants had happy hour. Great tips thanks.!!!
We're so glad to hear you enjoyed it, Denise. We've been getting better at taking video/photos of menus and receipts lately so we can include the prices in our videos. We often found ourselves wondering what things cost when watching other channels videos, so we decided it would be wise to start including this information in our own!
Your best video yet and I’ve seen them all I’m pretty sure. There was enough fantastic food in this video to sustain me a week and a half. I want to start my next trip where you finished for sure.
Thanks, Bob. We probably have more time invested into this video than any one prior, and we're glad that it shows. And we know you've seen them all, so this comment means more coming from you than it would from anyone else!
Thank you so much for these videos of southwest florida. You guys are awesome. I hope you guys invest your money as much as you spend it! All the best :)
Thanks Johnny! We're finally at the point where the channel is profitable... and yes we do have money invested (although all our channel profits go back into the channel). We still have a ways to go before we can both do it full time. We'll get there though. We've worked way too hard and come way too far to quit now!
Yes I have since I was a baby! My favorite is the drunken clam and we always stayed at the plaza beach! I loved your video. I’m watching videos now to get up-to-date with what’s going on I haven’t been down for three years going down this summer for a psychedelic conference
We love the Drunken Clam too, and we visited it in our first St. Pete travel guide video that we made a couple of years ago. We hope you have an amazing time when you visit this summer, and we hope our videos help you make the most of your trip!
My first video from you guys. I love it!! Pictures and videos very clear and in slow motion.
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to make this kind comment, Mildred. We're so glad you enjoyed our video!
What a fantastic video! Will make this a bucketlist for St. Pete Beach. Love your channel!
Thank you so much for this incredibly kind comment! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed this one.
Love watching your adventures!
We're glad you enjoyed this one. Thanks so much for the support!
Love this place so much!❤
You and us both! Thanks for watching.
Live in Wisconsin. We go to st Pete, Madeira, treasure island every year. Best beaches in the US!
No argument from us! Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to comment!
Your brunch was massive!! SO many great spots to eat there - you always find the good ones but that sunset dinner seemed awesome. The liquor store with more is so neat! We have such limited alcohol shopping here. Wow a second sunset dinner! Spinners seemed really nice but I could see why it would be for special occasions. Great guide!!
Yeah that brunch was ridiculously big. We definitely spoiled ourselves a bit making this video, but we sure enjoyed it!
It really was ridiculously big 😂. We spoiled ourselves a bit making this video but we sure did have fun!
I love St Pete beach especially area around Upham beach
The Upham Beach area is so beautiful. We love it to!
Fabulous
Thanks so much for watching!
❤ LOVE this video!!! Thank you for sharing your insights!!!!
Thanks!
Never been. After this video, will be coming here next year. Looks great for retirement too!
That's awesome. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. And yeah, we think it would be a great retirement spot for someone who wants to have an active retirement!
All around great video! I love brunch so I'm definitely adding the brunch spot to my list of places to eat. I like that you guys show us a variety of places to visit and take people's budgets into account. Eating at the Don Cesar and Spinners would be a nice treat (margaritas are my drink of choice so I would go to Spinner's for the margarita alone!) but it's not something I personally would be able to do all the time (goals, though!). I started watching this on a super dreary day so I'm totally living vicariously through you guys being out in the sun. I don't get out much in the winter time here. I feel like I would be a lot more active if I lived in sunny, beautiful St. Pete. I would also never run out of things to do! I loved this video!
We share the same goals! If you are anything like us (and we're pretty sure you are), you would definitely be more active year round if you moved to St. Pete, and you would definitely never run out of things to do! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the video, as a LOT of time went into this one!
We live here in St. Pete and love your channel. We'd love to see you all do an episode of some of the best kept secrets of the area such as Gandy Beach, The Getaway @ Gandy Beach, The Hanger at St Pete airport and so much more fun and amazing places in our city.
We're really glad to hear you guys are enjoying the channel! We've definitely contemplated making some new St. Pete content outside of the What's New episodes we do each quarter. The "secret spots" idea would definitely be a fun one to make! We appreciate the suggestion.
Magical with you two!🎉❤
Thank you so much, Sheila!
Everybody knows ice cream doesn't make you more full. It fills in the open spots between the food in your stomach.
I've been trying to explain this to Skylar for years, Ron 😂
I'm so happy to see this informative video as I'll be coming for a visit to St. Pete this spring. I'd love to try every restaurant and bar you went to! I was surprised to see how far downtown looks from the rooftop where you were; I thought it would be much closer. What a gorgeous place to call home! 🙂
As the crow flies it's only about 7 miles from DTSP to where we were, but for some reason it did look much further. That's so great to hear that you will finally be making it down to St. Pete, Rhonda! We hope our content helps you make the most of your visit!
@@Explorcation It absolutely will...I've been taking notes. 🙂
@@rhondalyn100 👒🌴🌞🍹🏖 we hope your trip is filled with all of these 😁
I just love u guys!!! Blessings to you both
Thank you so much for the support!!
Sandbar Billys. Im 60 and want to be there so bad. Please keep making these vids its my dream escape.
Sandbar Bill's is a great spot! We really hope you are able to visit someday soon!
@@Explorcation If I could set in a lawn chair and just stare at the water and never even go to all the places you go I would be happy. Went to Ft. Meyers in the 90's loved it.
@@donaldsiler6779 we get that too, before we moved to Florida many years ago, we would vacation on the gulf coast and were quite content just relaxing on the beach as well!
The Frog Pond food is awesome ! Always the benedict with the best bacon ever !!! ANd yes, first stop Publix, liqour store and Willaim Dean's for a few cartons of gelatto and candy to bring to the condo rental !!! Toasted coconut and mango !! OMG !
It sounds like you have your Florida vacation routine down perfectly! Next time we visit Frog Pond we will definitely try one of the benedicts, and we do agree that their bacon is the best!
Just as I thought watching your Punta Cana video, you make me want to spend my 25th anniversary in one of these fine hotels. But my budget is more like yours, few and far in between. Definitely one of your best videos!
Thank you! We spent three days making this one, so we're glad to here that the extra work shows. We will say that you get more for your money in Punta Cana than you do in St. Pete, but getting to St Pete is a lot easier and cheaper for most!
I'm planning on moving to the Tampa Bay area this year with my son and you two have been so incredibly helpful and entertaining. I love your videos. Thanks so much.
We're so happy to hear that you've found our channel to be helpful and entertaining, Kimberly! Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to comment!
Loved Rick's Reef when we were last there. Making the move to St. Petersburg area this year. Thanks for the great channel.
Thank you, Bill! We hope the move goes smoothly and that you enjoy FL as much as we do!
We were at St. Beach in October of 2021. We had a blast and used your video for help. We didn't have a good experience at that revolving rooftop restaurant. But still a wonderful vacation and we'll be back!
We're glad that our old St. Pete Beach video helped you enjoy your vacation in 2021, and we hope that this video will help you to make the most out of your next one! Sorry to hear you didn't have a great experience at Spinners. We've heard some great (and not so great) reviews on the place, but we were fortunate to have and exceptional experience on our visit!
I’ll be visiting st Pete’s in August for my 8 yr anniversary. We will be staying at the Don Cesar beach house suites and spinners sounds like the perfect place to have our anniversary dinner. Thank you
That sounds like an awesome anniversary trip! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
The Don Cesar is great and the beach is superb!
I lived there years ago.
We hope the video brought back good memories when you lived there, thanks for watching.
just got back, loved the indian rocks beach area. Really liked walking to Pipo and Betty's every morning
Pipo and Betty's is great! We love IRB too. It's probably the most reasonably priced beach down around hear and the beaches are amazing.
@@Explorcation yea, we stayed 3/4 mile south of pipos, in that stretch that only has water behind it and it was pretty peaceful. Food was also great down there
@@TheZombiecowmeat ahh that is such a great area to stay in 🤩
@@Explorcation yea, it was great. The dedicated walking and biking lanes made the nice 10 minute walk for coffee pretty nice
@@TheZombiecowmeat that is another great perk of staying in that area for sure!
Love your content. I'm going to suggest that my friends who are looking to buy there watch your videos.
Thank you so much for the kind comment and for suggesting us to your friends, John!
Happy new year to you and your families. Your channel is amazing we appreciate you two thanks for all the great clips this year!!
Thanks so much, Irivin! We wish a happy new year to you and your family as well.
We have not visited St. Pete Beach yet, but we are definitely more for the casual dining and the Sunday market looks great. We've been checking out Tampa, so St Pete and SPB will be next. Thanks for the great video.
Thanks for weighing in, guys. We definitely prefer the casual/budget spots as well since we travel so much, but it still was nice to experience some of the fancier spots for a change! We hope you enjoy your time in St. Pete and SPB as much as we always do!
Hey there Jamie and Skyler I love your channel. I'm here in Treasure Island/ST Petes Beach area this week. Looking forward to seeing the Don Cesar and Chris' beach bar for lunch today.
Hey Eric! We're so glad you discovered our channel and we really hope it's helping you to make the most of your time in TI/SPB!
Will definitely do Spinners! And the Secret Garden, and the Don.
Anxious to visit Pass-a-Grille again.
We hope you have a great time at all of them. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
After going to siesta key for the last few years we decided to try Ana Maria Island this February. Saint Pete beach is not too far and after seeing this video we’re definitely going to take a day or two out of our trip to check it out. I just love all of your videos. Thanks for sharing
Hi Deborah! St. Pete Beach is a very different vibe from Anna Maria, but both are great in their own ways. We think visiting St. Pete Beach for a couple of days would be a perfect change of pace! Thank you so much for supporting our channel and for taking the time to comment!
Excellent job!
Thanks you!
Where I lived for 11 years!
Thank you for watching. If you have spots or places you'd recommend from your time living in the area please let us know!
I probably haven't seen all of your post. But from what Iv'e seen you missed Paradise grille on Pass-A-Grille . I did see you covered the Paradise grille on Upham beach.. Seahorse Restaurant at Merry Pier. Hurricane Hotel and the roof bar for fantastic subsets. Brass Monkey for lunch and public bar. Shadrack for the cheapest beer on pass a grille, often frequented by bikers . A real old style bar, with dart boards pool tables and a jukebox for you favourite music... The Wharf ... Seafood bar and restaurant over hanging the water and where customers can tie up their boats. Lots of seafront restaurants Like crabby bills next to the Belweather ," spinner" Woody's waterfront, The Toasted Monkey . Buoys Waterfront bar and grill. Shrimpys Waterfront at Blind pass. Sea dog Brewing company. Caddy Treasure Island and the next cheapest place for beer and bar prices, Ka Tiki across the road from Caddies then the Undertow beach Bar with an upper deck to watch sunsets.
There are a few more I just need to rattle my memory a bit longer. If you are looking for another fun place look at Gulfport Where every Tuesday there is a garden market on Beach Blvd S , similar to Cory Ave on the Beach with plenty bars and restaurants! Try O'Maddys bar and grille. Hurricane Eddies, sidewalk breakfast at Stella's, Low tide kava Bar North end Tap House. Gulfport brewery and eatery! And for vegan's. The Golden Dinosaurs
@@raymondwright2985 thank you so much for sharing all of your recommendations! Hopefully your comment is helpful to other viewers as well. Weve been to several of the spots you mentioned but not all of them.
Great Video and Reviews 👍😎
We just came back from Treasure Island and really enjoyed the Sunrunner to downtown. 🙂
That's so great to hear. We love Treasure Island! We've learned that the Sunrunner is a pretty divisive topic here in St. Pete. But we've had great experiences with it so far, and it's always nice to hear when others have as well!
Thanks for the interesting video!
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching!
The Florida Gulf beaches are very special. On our visit to Sarasota last month, we made it up to Fort Desoto Park, but have not yet been to St Petersburg. Enjoyed the video. Thank you.
We agree 100%. It's these beautiful beaches that got us to move to Florida almost 10 years ago and we will never take them for granted! Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to comment.
Great video guys 🤩
Thanks, Mark!
This is a great vid, very well done!
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind comment!
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!!
Madeira Beach very welcoming vibe!
Very true. We love Madeira Beach.
We LOVE St. Pete Beach! We stayed at the Bellwether Beach Resort and highly recommend the place. Spinners was great (the hotel on top of the Bellwether). Next time I think we're going to give the Don Cesar a try while we look for the perfect vacation home.
It sure is an easy place to love, Steven! We would gladly stay at either the Don Cesar or Bellwether. We've heard nothing but rave reviews for each and both properties are beautiful, although in very different ways.
Spinner's is awesome! Haven't been in a while but can't beat the food or views- especially if celebrating a special day. Next time in St Pete, def want to find Upham Beach. We also sued to go to Sea Critters for dinner I think near or in Pass-A-Grille - even boats would pull up and folks would come in to get food and drinks. It was always a great time.
We agree... pretty much the prefect place to celebrate a special occasion. Great food and drinks and even better views! Upham Beach is definitely one our of favorites, and we hope you get a chance to visit it soon!
We come to St Pete beach and stay at the Bellwether formerly Grand Plaza we love it there Some of our fav places to eat are Gigi's,Mad Fish and Shells.
We would love to stay at the Bellwether someday. It's such a beautiful property. We've always heard great things about Shells and have been talking about visiting for what seems like years now. One of these days, we'll finally make it happen!
Coming to St Pete Beach Oct 7th to 14th. Staying at Gulf Strand Resort. Loved your video.
That's a great location... and you'll be here tomorrow! We really hope you have an awesome time.
Nice place!
Love the Don Cesar
You and us both, Jordan!
Try Shell Key nearby😎
I love your videos! Thanks for sharing Florida with us! I am wondering where you bought your dress? ;)
Thank you so much, Tracy! I don't remember exactly where I got this dress (likely a discount store like Ross or Marshall's), but the brand name is Xhilaration.
Thank you for you awesome videos, I am starting my journey to buy a pizza restaurant or coffee shop in Pinellas County, Your videos have really helped me to learn the area. Thank you so much. Oh yes I guess I should mention that I am from Canada.
Wow that's great to hear that our channel has helped you learn about the area. Best of luck to you in your journey down to Pinellas County. It's a little bit warmer down hear than in Canada right now 😄
I just discovered your channel and am enjoying your videos so much! Thank you for creating such great content!
Our pleasure, Chris. We're glad you discovered our channel and really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
Wow, that was an action packed video! I want to check it all out! La Croisette was a great breakfast spot too. The brunch, cheap drinks, secret garden, and rooftop bars look great! We’ll have to check it out on on next trip down there. There was a Thai place close to that liquor store that was really tasty and well priced too.
We've heard so many good things about La Croisette, and it really was a toss-up on which one we were gonna visit between that and Frog Pond. Next St. Pete Beach video we make will surely have La Croisette included! Thanks for the info about the Thai place. We love Thai food and love well priced Thai food even more!
Very nice!
Thank you!
I used to love coming here. I stayed at the TradeWinds a few times, before that at Alden. I guess Alden is now part of TradeWinds. I have to come back and see the changes. The Frog Pond is amazing, been there a few times too.
Yeah, I'm sure it would be interesting to see how the property has changed. Thankfully, Frog Pond will likely still be as you remembered it!
The Alden holds some great memories 😎😍
Thank u for a great video we are from the uk and have been to florida quite often but never been to those lovely places 😊
Our pleasure, Marc. We hope you are able to visit some of them on your future visits!
Oh wow, great video! Dreaming of being at any of these beach locations! We do love to splurge at least once at a "fancy" restaurant while we are on vacation. I think the Don Cesar is definitely on our bucket list for places to visit...but any of these restaurants look great. We stayed at the Sirata years ago...I think we are due for another visit to the area soon 🙂
The Sirata is such a nice hotel and great location, and we agree that you are definitely due for a return visit! When you are traveling as much as we are you have to stick to the budget spots more often than not, but every once in a while it sure is nice to enjoy a fancy restaurant!
Very goud
Thanks so much!
Great job on this video! Beautiful place, and I will have to visit it soon one day. I just subscribed to your channel! I look forward to seeing more videos from you guys soon. Thanks! 🤗❤️👍
Thank you so much for the kind comment and for the sub, Sarah! We really appreciate the support and are happy to hear you are enjoying the channel!
While we now live on the east coast of Florida near St Augustine we used to call St Pete home. In fact, 38 years ago we were engaged at what used to be the rotating Hilton (Spinners) and had our wedding reception at the Dolphin. Additionally, back in 1985 we caught Tom Petty playing from the rooftop of The Don while enjoying a sunny Sunday beach day. I’d love to go back and actually STAY overnight at the Don Cesar. And yes, one of our 2 favorite Pinellas County beaches are Pass-A-Grill and Upham. Your great video was beautifully nostalgic and makes me want to plan a visit!
Wow, you sure to have some great memories from back in the day! We're well aware of the Tom Petty rooftop video shoot, but have never actually talked to anyone who witnessed it first hand. That's pretty amazing. We would love to eventually actually stay at the Don too.... hopefully one of these years!
It was kinda surreal to see you guys go to so many of the same places we love in St Pete Beach, both the well-known landmarks and the local haunts.
Glad you guys found Willy's (how is that cheap?!), Larry's (just the best - end of) and Frog Pond. La Croisette across the street is also a great breakfast if you haven't been already.
I really want to check out the 11th Floor on my next visit (we have a condo on Blind Pass Road). I'd also recommend Sea Hags for their happy hour, and strolling from the beach at Caddy's into John's Pass Village after sunset - though that is a bit of a walk!
Love the channel :)
We were really torn on whether we should visit La Croisette or Frog Pond in the video. We have yet to visit La Croisette, but have always heard great things about it! We hope you get a chance to check out the 11th floor soon. We've been wanting to make it back there for the late night happy hour. Maybe you'll see us up there!
Im planning on moving to this area from Oregon, thanks for the local info!
Our pleasure, Sanni! We hope your move goes smoothly and that you enjoy living in St. Pete as much as we do!
In 2023 we parked our car close to a SunRunner's stop , rode the SunRunner to St Pete Beach stay there and later walked to Pass-a-grill to watch the sunset after that we took the Freebee to get the SunRunner again back our car. All of that was free. We had a drink and a meal at Pass-a-grill. This year we are planning on doing the same, only that we'll pay the SunRunner.
We're so happy to hear that you were able to utilize the different free/cheap transportation options! It really can help to make your vacation so much more enjoyable when you don't have to worry about driving or breaking your budget paying for Uber rides!
I have spent years coming down to the area from Canada but staying mostly in Treasure Island. We are leaving tomorrow for a week-long vacation in St. Petes Beach at BlueGreen at Tradewinds. We will try to hit some of the spots you have pointed out. We have been to the Don Cesar for Sunday Brunch.
You really can't go wrong with Treasure Island or St. Pete Beach. The BlueGreen and Tradewinds is in a fantastic location with so much to do and on a beautiful stretch of beach. We hope our video helps you to make the most of your vacation here!
You have to check out William Dean's chocolates in Belleair Bluffs! They were in the movie The Hunger Games. Pricey but sooo good ! I want to come to ALL the markets. I miss that Old Florida vibe ! Of course I lived on Madeira Beach when there were just a few mom and pop hotels on the beach and none of the large condos . The sunset ! OMG !!! You guys are killing me !! Digging out in Buffalo !
Thanks so much for this suggestion. We have never heard of William Dean's before, but will definitely drop in next time we are in that area! Best of luck to you as you continue to dig out in Buffalo. We'll keep posting warm weather videos to help you get through!
Will be in Tampa in Jan 2024, for the very first time. Thank for your videos to help us get a feel for where we can go for coffee and good food. Do you have any accommodation videos?
That's great to hear you have plans to visit in January! We hope our videos help you make the most of your trip. We've made a couple different accommodation videos. I believe we toured 7 different properties between the 2 videos. Unfortunately we have not yet toured any St. Pete Beach property, but all 7 of those properties are located in the beach towns just north of SPB (Treasure Island up to Indian Rocks). Links to the two videos are below.

We love your channel just started watching a month ago. We are in our sixties from NY and will be moving to Florida in the next year or so. Our son has lived in St Pete for 10 years now and loves it. We will be looking for a mobile home park in the Largo area. If you have not done so can you do a vid on Largo and the proximity to Clearwater beach. Just saw your vid on your channels profits, looks good. Sorry to hear about your wife hope she is feeling better. Thanks
Hey guys! We're so happy that you've discovered our channel and are excited for your upcoming move! We love Largo and actually did make a video on it a while back. I'll post a link to it below. We appreciate the well wishes for Jamie, and we're confident that she'll be back to normal within the near future! th-cam.com/video/SbpJjM1G6EY/w-d-xo.html
Sandbar Bill's!!!!! I remember when those burgers were 6$ 😩
Wow, what a bargain! We think the current price is still a pretty great deal for the beach but $6 would have felt like theft 😂
We've been to that Corey Ave Sunday Market before, great venue! Planning on a repeat visit to try and find those Arepa's !!
We still need to get back for one of those Arepa's too, Gene. Maybe we'll run into you guys at the arepa stand 😂
@@Explorcation I'll try and remember to give you two a heads-up when we're in the area!
@@genehinders9639 sounds good, please do!
@@Explorcation you folks made it through the storm in good shape I take it?
@@genehinders9639 we sure did, but just now getting caught up on comments
St. Pete beach is awesome but it would be nice if they had a promenade like what Clearwater Beach has.
Yeah that would be pretty nice. But I do love our waterfront parks.
Watching your videos, guys. they bring lots of fun memories of the time I lived and spent in the Tampa Bay Area. listening to Bertie Higgins' song titled "Key Largo" as I watch your videos. if you haven't listened to this beautiful song, I invite you to do so.
Just listened to it. It's great! Thanks so much for the recommendation and for taking the time to comment!
@@Explorcation Happy New year and enjoy the Sunshine State, home to Bertie Higgins and Key Largo.
@@comeconcon569 Happy New Year 🥳
Sending my wife and daughter down for a mother daughter weekend. She was thinking about renting a car, but I was thinking your video shows the Sun Runner and that might be more convenient (and cheaper😂). It looks like there are lots of budget friendly and nicer dining options. Does the trolleys or sun runner go to those areas? They should be down there on Thursday!!
Between the Sunrunner, the Free Beach Ride, and the Freebie, there are plenty of options to get around the island without renting a car. It will likely save quite a bit of money over renting a car and you also don't have to worry about parking. We hope your wife and daughter have a great time!
We had planned on going to Spinners last year but upon viewing the menu prices online we altered our plans. Mainly because we'd already stopped by a higher end establishment the night before.
That view looks spectacular though so we'll definitely have to see about getting there this year or next.
That's totally understandable. We normally would not eat had more than one higher end restaurant on one vacation either. That being said, the food was good, and we think the view makes it all worth it, especially if you book your dinner during sunset!
What's hidden is the extra hundreds of dollars the hotels charge you credit or debit cards!
The Dolphin inn ripped me off of over $800 extra dollars. Ive talked to other guests and they all had the same problem with the Dolphin starting the begining of this year!
So sorry to hear this! Love your content! We will be staying at the St. Pete KOA for our spring break. We would love suggestions of recommendations of things to do and places to eat/consume adult beverages that are close by!
Thank you 💕 You will be right off of the Pinellas Trail! We'd recommend riding the trail for something active. You will be close to Harbor Master for a Tiki Bar experience. If you head out to Madeira Beach (which will be the closest beach to where you are staying) we recommend... Saltwater Hippie for live music, Dockside Dave's for a meal and the rooftop bar at Cambria for drinks at sunset.
Thank you! We will definitely check those out! Any good places to kayak?
@@theterrytrailertrash YW! Hmm i know there are good spots, but we haven't explored many in this area. All of our kayak/paddling spots are further south in the Sarasota area. We would suggest researching paddling from the Dunedin Causeway to Caladesi Island.
@@Explorcation will do. Thanks again!
@@Explorcation will do. Thanks again!
Ah man. If youre on SPB ya GOTTA go get a burger at Willy’s or wings at Woody’s. Both on the north end of SPB near Upham Beach.
Thanks for the wings at Woody's recommendation. We've had plenty of burgers at Willy, but yet to try wings at Woody's!
we want to see the places you "ve been this june
We'll do our best to keep the videos rollin out. Thanks for watching!
That is great news! Thanks, I’ll let them know. I’ll also let you know likes and dislikes when they get back. Although looking at your videos not much would be a dislike!! Thanks again!
Sounds great, Charles!
Hi, found your videos and I love how detailed they are. Could you recommend a place to stay when in St Petes. i want to go on a girls getaway. with my daughters, ages 22 and 19
Hi, thanks so much for watching :) there are so many options on St Pete Beach, it totally depends on your budget and what type of experience you are looking for. If you've got a generous budget there are spots like Bellwether and the Don Cesar. If you are looking for an older resort experience then there are options like the Bon-Aire Resort. Also there are a variety of rentals to choose from though Resort Rentals!
