" alt="" />St. Petersburg Named One of 20 Best Places to Live and Visit by Coastal Living Magazine
Coastal Living Magazine has featured St. Petersburg as one of the 20 “best places to live,” while touting it as an ideal vacation spot for those not looking to make Tampa Bay their home.
“Nestled on the bright blue waters of Tampa Bay, this cosmopolitan city just keeps getting better and better,” the article says.
The article highlights many of Pinellas County’s biggest attractions: The Dali Museum, St. Pete Beach, Clearwater Beach, Fort DeSoto Park and the Don CeSar Hotel.
For food and drinks, Coastal Living directs visitors to cocktail bar Mandarin Hide, local coffee chain Kahwa, and Locale Gourmet Market.
The writers say St. Pete strikes a balance between historic, small-scale neighborhoods and big-city pleasures.
“With mild winters, this is a year-round city of outdoor play, and the proximity of 35 miles of white-sand beaches adds a quality-of-life layer that few other sophisticated enclaves possess,” the article says.

“Nestled on the sharp blue waters of Tampa Bay, this cosmopolitan Gulf city just keeps getting better and better, with a downtown arts and culture scene that may best be exemplified by the recent (and spectacular) Dalí Museum anchoring the waterfront. Historic, small-scale neighborhoods balance the big-city pleasures. With mild winters, this is a year-round city of outdoor play, and the proximity of some the finest white-sand beaches in the state add a quality of life layer that few other sophisticated enclaves possess.”
