St. Petersburg is surrounded by Tampa Bay, Boca Ciega Bay, and the Gulf of Mexico, so bridges play a major role in how visitors explore the area. Traveling between downtown St. Petersburg, St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Tierra Verde, and Tampa often involves crossing one or more bridges. While the drives are scenic, visitors should allow extra time during weekends and peak vacation seasons when traffic can increase near the beaches.
