Weekend Beach Blanket Guide! FORT DESOTO BEACH PARK
20 Year Resident has Winning Vote
I wanted to send my vote in to add to your top five things to do in St. Petersburg list. The beach park out at Fort Desoto is a no brainier and guaranteed awesome time. You have to try a sunset out there on the tip of the island, bbq birthday party, or shoreline fishing around the undisturbed nature part of the park. The bicycle and rollerblading trails must total 20 miles. The curve, loop around, and traverse every corner of the park. What big fun and that is my vote!

Largest Waterfront Parks in Florida It is huge, this has to be one of the largest parks in Florida. Certainly, on the waterfront. Fort Taylor in Monroe County, Key West is the best park in the state to snorkel. But for overall activities and size, you have to give to Fort Desoto, here in Pinellas County.
The Best White Beach Sand Nothing beats the anticipation of walking down to the beach! The pier fishing is popular here and they have a boat ride.

Pass-A-Grille Campground Fun If you want to go camping one weekend, this is the place to go. We could go to Ft. Desoto for two nights, go kayaking, biking, go out to Pass-A-Grille, explore Tierra Verde, etc.

You Cannot Beat the Waterfront Camping The Fort Desoto Beach Video is excellent and really highlights why this place is so top rated. We got a really nice camping site, with the water right behind the tent location. You do want to camp here and take all of it in.

Beach Parking Made So Easy Thank goodness for a giant beach park that has thousands and thousands of parking spots. Most of the other beaches, like St. Pete Beach, get filled up. The fort desoto beach parking is excellent.
