Reserve activities with limited availability or scheduled departure times as soon as you know your travel dates. Popular dolphin-watching cruises, shelling cruises, sunset sailing cruises, private boat charters, fishing charters, and jet ski rentals often sell out during spring break, summer, and holiday weekends. Everything else is much easier to plan after you arrive. You can decide the same day whether to spend time at St. Pete Beach, explore Pass-a-Grille Beach, stroll the shops along Corey Avenue, or visit the historic Don CeSar. Booking your must-do water activity in advance while leaving the rest of your itinerary flexible is usually the best way to experience St. Pete Beach.
