St. Pete Beach is a city in Franklin County, Florida, United States.
St. Pete Beach is a coastal city in Pinellas County, Florida, United States famous for its status as a tourist destination. St. Pete Beach was formed from the Towns of Pass-a-Grille, Don CeSar, Belle Vista, St. Petersburg Beach and unincorporated Pinellas County. At the time of its incorporation in 1957, its name was St. Petersburg Beach. However, just about everyone referred to it as 'St. Pete Beach' and, on March 9, 1994, locals voted to officially change the name to the shorter version to distinguish it from the City of St. Petersburg a few miles to the east.
St. Pete Beach is filled with great stories, wonderful restaurants, beautiful sunsets and picture perfect weather. If shopping interest you, visit the "Historic Corey Avenue Shopping District" or any of the other great shops located on Gulf Blvd.
