St. Pete Beach, the most southern link in a chain of barrier islands that make up the Tampa Bay Sun Coast, offers residents and visitors miles of pristine white sandy beaches bordering the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. Previously known as St. Petersburg Beach, it has various accommodations, from large-scale resorts to classic Florida mom-and-pop vintage motels that bring back memories of old Florida.
The city was incorporated in 1957 with the consolidation of the Towns of Pass-a-Grille, Don CeSar, Belle Vista, St. Petersburg Beach, and unincorporated Pinellas County to become the “City of St. Petersburg Beach.” In 1994, the citizens voted to shorten the name to “St. Pete Beach” to lessen the confusion with the City of St. Petersburg, located on the mainland to the east. The City of St. Pete Beach is just off the Pinellas County mainland of Saint Petersburg, just south of Treasure Island, 20 miles from Clearwater Beach, and within 30 miles of St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport and Tampa International Airport.
With year-round sunshine and abundant recreational activities, restaurants, and shopping, St. Pete Beach is one of the world`s most enjoyable places to live and vacation.

Sandy beach
We did not stay due to hurricane. So we can not rate anything from above in regards to how the place looked in regards to cleanliness. I was unhappy with how it was handle in regards to hurricane. They continued to tell us it was safe to come when airport was shut down and entire area had a mandatory evacuation
