A beautiful place to play.
Get ready for 365 days of fun. Thanks to North America’s third largest downtown waterfront park system and 150+ parks, St. Pete is your place to move. Our paddling trails, cycling trails, scores of recreation centers, and sports leagues keep people moving in the beautiful sun.

Where creativity meets business.

Walkers, runners, boaters and paddleboarders line St. Pete’s waterfront from sunrise to sunset. Anglers enjoy access to the water on seawalls and piers. Dolphins play just steps from offices downtown. The water is part of who we are and how we live.

We play beside and on the water. Public and private marinas, yacht clubs, charters, and ferries make it easy to take advantage of our sparkling, calm waterways. If you love to kayak or SUP, you’ll find some 69 miles of BlueWays paddling trails.

These trails were made for cycling.

Pinellas County is home to the largest network of cycling and pedestrian trails in the Southeast.

Ride or walk The Pinellas Trail, 36 miles of former railroad from downtown St. Pete all the way to the north of Pinellas County. Stop at farmers’ markets, parks and eateries along the way.


Feel free to move about the city.

The City of St. Petersburg and Pinellas County prioritize local recreational infrastructure, with the goal of making St. Pete one of the most pedestrian and bike friendly cities in the nation.
