St. Pete Beach named no. 1 in U.S., no. 5 in the world by Tripadvisor

TODAY’S FORECAST: Sunny and warm with a 100% chance of walking on America’s Best Beach at sunset.

 

St. Petersburg Beach was voted the no. 1 beach in the United States and the no. 5 beach in the world by Tripadvisor for 2021. Madeira Beach landed at no. 9 in the U.S., Treasure Island at no. 16 and Clearwater Beach came in at no. 18. 

 

Tripadvisor says: “St. Pete Beach is a great walking beach with white quartz sand, clear calm water and seashells by the truckload.” 

 

The awards are based on reviews and ratings from Tripadvisor travelers gathered for a year. Also taken into consideration are travelers’ “saves,” meaning beaches that visitors wished they could visit even though the COVID-19 pandemic meant they couldn’t (or shouldn’t).

  

With a history as rich as its sunsets, St. Pete Beach offers something for everyone. With the beautiful pristine beaches, diverse selection of locally-owned restaurants, and shops, and award-winning accommodations for guests, it’s no wonder it is a favorite for visitors and locals alike.

He can be found enjoying the sun, daily, riding his bike with friends or having lunch outside at Chill restaurant on Corey Avenue. He’s an avid runner.

 

When asked how he thought this prestigious award came about, he immediately says “Mother Nature was kind to us. We didn’t pay for this award. We earned it. We are a friendly, laid-back destination with great beach bars and businesses. “St. Pete Beach is special because the city staff, residents, businesses and hotels welcome our visitors and take care of the paradise we are custodians of.”
