Did you know that st petersburg florida is known for having the most consecutive
days of sunshine with 768 days
i know right i spent four days exploring this really awesome beach town
and whether you're planning your trip here and are looking for helpful tips or
you just want to see what it's like in st pete beach coming up
if you're new here welcome i'm christine with where in the world is cL and i
make travel videos every week to help you get up get out
and go travel so if you'd love to travel consider subscribing
let's start with where st pete is located it's on the west
side of florida which is cool because it's near tampa and it's located between
tampa bay and the gulf of mexico and it's it's
awesome because the beach area is located just 10 to 15 minutes from
downtown so you get the best of both worlds i opted to stay on
the beach side because when you're staying between the
beach and the bay you can catch both sunrises and sunsets
super easily and you know i love those on this particular stay i decided to
stay the kimpton's hotel zamora because i
found a really awesome half off deal on travel zoo
which is a discounted travel website and i loved it because it was right on the
bay but across the street from the beach and i have a full video on it
in the description below so check it out let's talk about what there is to do
because it's just a beach town right no it's not it's actually there's a
really awesome art scene in st petersburg but there's also
awesome beaches stick around till the end to see my favorite beach and
but let's start with the Dali museum one of the things i thought was so
unique about it is that it's an artist's museum meaning it's just dedicated to
the work of dali versus the museum of modern art or
contemporary art which is lots of different artists
it's just his work there and it's it's so surreal it's unreal i oftentimes
would just be staring at something do you feel me on this and you're like what
the heck am i even looking at which my favorite part about the
museum is they have an audio tour through the app so you
download the app in advance and using your own headphones
as you're looking at his works you can listen to the app
and it will tell you exactly where to look and what you're looking at which
was so cool if you're interested in learning more about the Dali museum
stay tuned for my video on that one of the places that didn't work out
because hours i really wanted to see the work of chihuly and if you're not
familiar with this artist he does a ton of blown glass and one of my
favorite pieces i've seen of his is at the bellagio in vegas which by the
way i'm going to vegas next month stay tuned for that video
alright let's talk about downtown art murals one of my favorite things to do
in exploring a new city is just to walk around and look at the street art
actually st pete reminded me of one of my favorite other florida spots which is
west palm beach which also has great murals
but downtown st pete was so vibrant with art
one of the things i wish i did was to look at the map
of all of the places that have the murals as well as
the info about each one you can see that in the description below
but i loved checking out the art in saint
speaking of downtown there's a few other things you don't want to miss when
you're down there and that includes the food which by the way if you're

i really loved eating in st petersburg and one of my favorite things
was the casual eateries i love fine dining but given coved
i was looking for quicker spots to eat at and one of my favorite places
was get naked that's naked farmer that is which has
super simple but healthy meals that are super quick and here are a few other of
my favorites
we've been talking about downtown restaurants but i have to give a shout
out to a beachside restaurant called Fo'Cheezy
which was such an awesome spot to eat really
unhealthy things in a really amazing hip-hop environment with graffiti art
everywhere i had a milkshake and a grilled cheese
that was so delicious i may have forgotten to take a video of it
sorry let's head back to downtown and let's get to drinking
there are some really fun casual places to drink at in downtown like
five bucks drinkery where you can get a strong gray goose and soda for
five bucks which is pretty phenomenal but i you know
i also love fine wine and champagne so there were some really awesome spots for
that near the pier i really loved going to tris speaking of
the pier this is a cannot be missed spot in downtown st
petersburg they just recently renovated it and it
reopened just this past month and it's gorgeous it's such a beautiful
place to go for drinks or to hang out or just to walk along the pier i really
enjoyed it check it out
so beautiful right and speaking of beautiful let's talk
about the beaches in saint pete saint pete beach
is such a gorgeous long stretch of white sand
and one of the things that's an icon in the area is the dawn cesar hotel or the
pink palace which is a historical spot where
it was the place to see and be seen in the jazz
age you can't miss it while you're there and my most favorite spot in saint pete
fort de soto located at the bottom of st pete beach
is just five dollars to get in and it is so
gorgeous it's actually five interconnected
islands that make up this beautiful stretch of beach that was ranked one of
the top beaches in america one of my favorite things to do there
was just to go for a long walk along the stretches of sand and
it's a place where you can see really unique birds it's known for
birding and it's just so gorgeous check it out
stop looking at my manatee just kidding i love these sea cows they're so
cute which by the way check out the video in the description below if you
