Florida Getaways: Saint Petersburg, Fl
St. Pete Packs A Lot of Fun
Saint Petersburg is located on the west coast of Florida. It is the second largest city, with a population of approximately 248,200 people, a growth explosion from the 1890 population of 458.
St. Pete, as it's called by residents, lies on a peninsula between the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay.
St. Petersburg connects to the mainland with the Howard Franklin Bridge and Gandy Bridge headed north into Tampa; the Sunshine Skyway headed south into Bradenton and Sarasota; and the causeways to Clearwater, St. Pete Beach, Madeira Beach, and Treasure Island.
St. Pete is part of Pinellas County, the second smallest county in Florida, yet ranked the fifth largest county in population. The 2000 consensus shows a median age of 39.44, a fun fact for people who think of Florida as solely for retired seniors.
Pinellas County has 115 bridges and 35 miles of beaches, which include two of the nation's top beaches - Caladesi Island and Fort De Sota Park.
