This intimate, white-sand beach is tucked next to the Saint Petersburg Pier. Although the pier bustles with visitors, the beach is often quiet, going largely unnoticed, even on weekends. Spa Beach is next to a parking lot and rental booth, which offers paddle boats, kayaks, jet skis and other water craft.
Spa Beach is just a short walk from a bounty of outdoor activities, from swimming at North Shore Pool and fishing off Saint Petersburg Pier to jogging or rollerblading on paved trails that traverse the downtown bayside parks.
