Pass-a-Grille Beach

Beautiful with plenty of parking. You do have to pay for parking during the day. I'm not too sure about at night. If you keep driving to the end of the street, there's places for food, drinks and entertainment. I will be back!!

For some reason, I had had so many people recommend going to Pass-A-Grille to me, so it obviously was added to my list after awhile. And, it’s in the St. Pete area so I knew it had to be fairly nice. Overall I understand why people like it. But for my personal preferences, I don’t think it’d be somewhere I’d come back unless someone else I knew really wanted to go.

The sand is soft but not near as soft as nearby beaches. The water is a lovely color and there were some waves but it was great to go swimming in. As the beach stretches on, you can also see a mini skyline of St. Pete beach and it’s super pretty.

The reason I wouldn’t go back is mainly the parking. It was around $3 per hour. We were only there for a few hours, but mannn that starts to add up if you actually stay there the entire day. And I know tons of other beaches where you don’t pay a thing to park. If you’re vacationing there or don’t have a car to park then this beach is a totally different story. But for someone like me who is more local and drives to the beach and actually cares about spending money unnecessarily, coming here just isn’t a practical choice.

Another thing to note is that they do have rinse stations so that you don’t have to be all sandy after you leave. That’s always huge.

Super clean! Easy access! The water is beautiful and every time I’ve gone, got to see dolphins in the water, even when i was swimming

I've been coming here the last three years and it's always beautiful. There's a lot of good food and good beaches in the area. The pier has been closed due to structural damage since the first time I went. St Pete is about 30 minutes away, and there is a tole bridge unless you take the long way around

It was great today for shells and sanddollar s, since hurricane went through.a bit smelly but had a good time
