I'm partial to St. Pete, but when I do venture "over the bridge" to Tampa I like to visit the Historic Ybor City. Live music venues, bars, Cuban food, and lots of nightlife!

The infamous Dalí Museum! Amazing artwork by a one-of-a-kind artist. It's worth it to do the guided tour and hear the stories about his life and legacy. It's one of the smaller-sized museums in comparison to others around town but you can spend time getting lost in every painting. Buy your tickets in advance.

The 2.4-mile Tampa Riverwalk is a walkable, bikeable, dog-friendly connector of culture and entertainment through Downtown Tampa. My personal favorites (moving north-to-south) are Armature Works, Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park (free monthly concerts), Tampa Bay History Center, and Sparkman Wharf.

Cruise over to Tampa for the afternoon. When you've got your fill of the big city, cruise back to St. Pete. Definitely beats driving and traffic! You can bring bikes on the boat so it's a fun afternoon to ferry there, ride up and down the Riverwalk, have lunch and see the sights, then ferry back.

A speakeasy - the "sin to get in" is posted on their website. There's a dress code that's enforced, pricey drinks, and there can be long waits. It's worth it. Burlesque shows on Wednesdays. Live music on Thursdays. Visit on a weekday to avoid waiting at the door.

Beaches
Beautiful natural beaches and a campground. One of the best places to catch the sunset. There's a HUGE dog-friendly park and beach. I recommend renting a kayak and exploring the small islands that make up Fort DeSoto Park.

Cute little secret garden on St. Pete Beach. You can only access it from the beachside - walk north from Upham Beach Park until you can’t walk any farther. Bring a book and relax.

A charming and historic town. There's plenty to see and do along Main Street with great restaurants and shops. If you're patient you can see manatees and dolphins at the Safety Harbor Fishing Pier. I recommend a hike along the water at Philippe Park.
