St Pete Beach Story

(Greenwich, Ohio)

My favorite Florida beach happens to be the beach at St. Petersburg. The snorkeling was extremely fun and so was the charter boat I went fishing on.

On this boat, I caught quite a few red snapper and a good 10 pound grouper. I almost had a larger fish but my line broke in the fight to bring it in. (Unfortunately, I was seasick the first hour or so and thus missed out on some good fishing time.)

I also went to the Adventure Island water park, which was a blast and a half.

After all this I took a bike on the beach for a couple miles and went swimming in the refreshingly cool gulf water to wash off all the sweat.

I finished off my vacation with the Beach Waterfront Complex’s 251 foot pier. I was able to catch some red snapper and even grabbed a small tarpon.

It was absolutely amazing and I would love to be able to visit St. Petersburg Beach again.
