St. Petersburg

St. Petersburg is known as "The Sunshine City" because it holds the Guinness World Record for the most consecutive days of sunshine. The city offers a unique blend of classic beach retreat and metropolitan character to guests.

The white, sandy beaches provide breathtaking sunset views, and the 7 miles of waterfront parks invite visitors to participate in a variety of activities such as hiking, camping, and kayaking.

A thriving creative renaissance also provides a diverse cultural experience, whether at the world-renowned Dal Museum or the Museum of Fine Arts.

Every year, the city hosts over 1,000 events, ranging from the St. Anthony's Triathlon to Ribfest, a festival featuring barbecued ribs and touring musicians. These events are frequently staged in downtown areas, which are densely packed with stores, restaurants, and craft brew pubs that come alive when the sun sets.

With so much to offer, the sunny city is a popular destination for guests of all ages: families will enjoy the calm outdoors and abounding animals, while the younger set will enjoy the busy nightlife downtown.
