I just bought a second home on St. Pete Beach-located on a barrier island, an irresistible destination in an upscale beach lifestyle winning in the top beach award every year with seven miles of powdery white soft sand, the longest stretch of undeveloped public beach in the county with gentle waves rolling in from the Gulf Coast. The historic 1928 landmark, the pink Moorish-style Don Ce-Sar Hotel looms over the shore and marks the end of the bridge from downtown St. Petersburg. Walk or bike to over 40 waterfront restaurants, rooftop scenes some directly on the beach never putting your shoes back on with live music and top-ranking chefs off the waterfront offering luscious fares of fresh seafood and chop houses. Rentals of jet skis, para-sailing, tubing behind boats all readily available the beach, with an active night-life in a high walkability score destination. Great for investors looking to rent properties and second home or primary homes in a hot-spot to be for year-round resort recreation.
