If you only have half a day, choose one activity that lets you experience the Gulf without committing your entire schedule. A dolphin-watching cruise, shelling cruise, or sunset sailing cruise gives you time on the water while still leaving several hours to relax at St. Pete Beach, explore Pass-a-Grille Beach, or browse the shops and restaurants along Corey Avenue. Trying to fit a beach day, downtown St. Petersburg, and a boat tour into a half-day itinerary usually feels rushed.
