The St. Pete Pier
Downtown Waterfront, St. Petersburg|Free
Rebuilt in 2020 as a whole waterfront district rather than a single walkway, the Pier stretches a half mile into the bay with a tilted-lawn amphitheater, a splash pad and playground, a small sandy beach, the hands-on Tampa Bay Watch Discovery Center, and Janet Echelman's floating net sculpture 'Bending Arc' glowing overhead at night. Grab casual bites at the marketplace or book the rooftop at Teak for sunset over the water. Entry is free; a trolley shuttles the length if little legs give out.
Why our team sends guests here
Come an hour before sunset — fish off the end, watch 'Bending Arc' light up, and catch downtown St. Pete glittering behind you.
