Welcome to St Pete Beach located directly on the Gulf of Mexico on the western edge
of the Tampa Bay area.  St Pete Beach is set on a six mile long key, which also
includes the community of Pass-a-Grille which was the first established town on
Florida's West Coast barrier islands and still retains its historic charm. 

A historic landmark on St Pete Beach is the famous Don CeSar Beach Resort which
was reopened in 1973 .  Don CeSar was built in 1928 .  The depression hit the hotel
very hard and in the early 40's, the government purchased the hotel and turned it
into a hospital and rehabilitation center and in 1944 it became one of the first
hurricane shelters.  In 1945 the Regional Office of Veterans Administration
was moved into the Don.  In 1969, facing 3 million dollars in renovation,
the government left the facility and the County was ready to tear it down.  
Due to an active citizens group, Mr. William Bowman bought the
 building and renovated it.

St Pete Beach as we know it today was formed in 1957 when the four towns
of Pass-a-Grille, Don CeSar Place, Belle Vista Beach and St Pete Beach
voted to consolidate.  To find out more about the history visit the
Gulf Beaches Historical Museum, housed in a 1917 former church, which
traces the history of Pinellas County's barrier islands all the way back to
when Ponce de Leon first encountered them in the 14th century.
