We’ve got you covered for a few hours under a cabana on the beach, but while you’re here, check out these places to hit up either before or after. We’ve got you covered for coffee, brunch, beach bars, daytime activities, and places to stay!
Coffee
Grove Surf + Coffee: The absolute best way to start your day on St. Pete Beach. This adorable coffee spot also serves as a little surf shop. The vibes are great. A must try.
Brunch
The Helm: A little St. Pete Beach gem. This local fav is home to our favorite lobster roll, but the menu doesn’t stop there. They have crafty brunch specials, a drink menu to die for, and cute little brunch vibes. Closest location for a cabana afterwards: Upham Beach
82 Degrees: If you’re looking for brunch by the water, this is it. The windows are usually open and the gulf breeze is flowing. Located at the cute lil Saint Hotel, this brunch spot serves up coastal fare, cocktails, and views. Closest location for a cabana afterwards: Upham Beach on 70th (you can walk there)
The SeaHorse: Located on historic 8th Ave on Pass A Grille, this local fav has been serving breakfast and lunch since 1938. It’s charming, casual, and offers beautiful inner coastal views. Closest location for a cabana afterwards: Pass A Grille on 16th Ave
The Frog Pond: Think classic, casual, diner with large portions and great food! Located right next to Grove Surf + Coffee near the historic Corey Ave district. Closest location for a cabana afterwards: Upham Beach on 67th Ave
Daytime Activities

Coconut Charlie’s: Definitely the cutest beach bar on St. Pete Beach! Closest location for a cabana: Upham Beach on 67th Ave

Views and Vibes
Dewey’s Rooftop: This hidden gem is located right off historic 8th Ave on Pass A Grille. Their bar features amazing craft cocktails with fresh juices and 360 degree views for sunset. It’s rare that you get intracoastal and Gulf views, but here you go!
Rooftop at Hotel Zamora: Okay, here’s the only other rooftop with 360 degree views of the intracoastal and Gulf for sunset! This one is a little more spacious, so we recommend it for larger groups!
Place to Stay
The Saint Hotel: It gives boutique hotel vibes, with a great pool, walkable to the beach, and super cute!
Hotel Zamora: Recently renovated! The Spanish Mediterranean vibes are lovely. Nestled right on the intracoastal waterway, yet right across the street from the Gulf. Definitely a great place for families or couples a like.
