St. Petersburg
Where on earth
City and beach attractions
Bordered by Tampa Bay in the east and the Gulf of Mexico in the west, this
popular peninsula features a variety of sightseeing possibilities. Besides St.
Petersburg's urban attractions, there is a bevy of beaches to be explored on the
barrier islands that distinguish this region.
The city of St. Petersburg, located in central-western
Florida, occupies a peninsula across the bay from Tampa. Its shoreline is sculpted with
small coves bathed in sunshine and peaceful waters.
