St.Pete Pier is one of the best attractions and a must see if you are in Tampa Bay and St Petersbrurg area. The Pier has parking but it gets really busy during weekends so best to park nearby or at one of the parking garages. You will enjoy the walk towards the Pier. The area has many restaurants and bars. There are also family areas like a splash pad and playground for the kids. You will also find a small spa beach for swimming and sunbathing just in front of the Pier. Many walk ways, a park and a market all nearby. The market was closed at night though. Once you get to the Pier you'll get a great view of the bay and beautiful skyline. The Pier has a roof top restaurant called The Teak that has an amazing panoramic view. The St.Pete Pier is the perfect place to enjoy a golden hour and music from all the street musicians.Will gladly go back to visit. read more

We absolutely love the St. Pete Pier--it's one of our favorite spots when we're in the area! There's something for everyone, which makes it perfect for families. The restaurants are great with a nice variety of options, and the gift shop is fun to browse for unique souvenirs. Our kids especially love the park--it's such a great space for them to run around and play while we relax and enjoy the view. One of the highlights for us is the trolley--it's such a fun and easy way to get around, especially with kids. That said, the walk out to the end of the pier is just as enjoyable. The views are beautiful, and it's a great way to take everything in at a slower pace. Overall, it's a must-visit if you're in St. Pete. We find ourselves coming back every time! read more

I should have taken more photos mine do no justice. This pier is a must it's my favorite pier. It had eveything so cool. I've never seen a trolly on a bridge to take you back and fourth from one end to the other. They have a splash pad on the pier and little spot for you to walk to the sand and beach water to swim. They have a children's museum on the pier. The have a bar on the pier. It's big and beautiful the weekend they have vendors that's when we went. But must go. Parking is paid and we parked a couple blocks away to pay for street parking a lot cheaper read more

Personally, I don't feel like there's a lot to check out at this pier, but at least it's a space for people to enjoy. There's only a few restaurants there and one gift shop that I saw. There's a free tram that runs back and forth which is helpful in the heat. If the pier added more shaded areas, that would make it a more attractive place to hang out. So unless you have nothing better to do, I would skip this place. You're not missing out on much. read more

This is a must visit for anyone visiting St Pete. I was expecting more based on these reviews. There are 2 restaurants at the beginning of the pier. Doc Fords about half way then at the end the the bar Pier Teaki and the restaurant Teak. If you want spectacular views those 2 spots are it. All the restaurants close at 10 except Pier Teaki has a later closing time. We visited twice on a Sunday and Monday. The Discovery Center is on the pier which is a small marine science aquarium. There was no live music it was quiet with not many people. If you are on the older side or have mobility issues be sure to use the free shuttle. It is a long walk and not much shade Overall a must stop but do temper your expectations. read more

The St Pete Pier has so much to offer, for crowds of all ages, all throughout the day! First, you can really get your steps in here- the entirety of the Pier has to be at least 1 mile long. But they also have a tram you can take if you don't or can't do the walking. There's a splash park for the kids and a playground, vendor booths with a fun and unique variety of knick knacks, and even an aquatic museum. Of course, there's eats too for all the goodies. Perry's Porch is a new edition at the start of the Pier- you need a reservation a few weeks in advance for that one. At the end of the pier Teak and Pier Teaki. Teak is a sit down restaurant on the second floor and Pier Teaki is the rooftop bar- that place is so cool and also serves food but it fills up real fast. It offers a stunning view of the St Pete skyline, especially at night. And in between there's also a concessions. There's tons of seating all around, and even a tiny beach right along the water. There is water so you don't get dehydrated and even free sunscreen. They host many events & festivals in the area too and it's a great place to hang out. read more

nice touristy spot for cocktails or food. lots of activity and paid parking. many spots had live music and all have great photo spots

Was just here the other day to roller skate the pier with some friends and grab some food on the rooftop tiki. Have been coming here since the inverted pyramid. Nobody likes the new design. I am ok with it. Better than nothing being here at all. Love to do all kinds of stuff here. Fishing at the end of the pier is great. Bait shop right there and water for cleaning up. All the restaurants and bars have great food and drinks with spectacular views. The splash pad before the pier is great for families and kids. Also a beach, ice cream. Sometimes live music and a movie theater setup. Movement Mondays from 7-9pm is a free even as well and a blast. If you haven't been here, I genuinely feel sorry for you and hope you make it soon. read more

This Pier has been around for 5 years. I can't believe it. I remember when it first opened. I looked up the date and it was July 6, 2020. This month they have had celebrations all month. The drone show this past weekend(Sunday, July 27, 2025 was suppose to be the finale. It stormed, not a surprise. Florida in July. The drone show didn't happen even though it stopped raining, and they let people know at 10:20 after people were waiting around and they last said it would be at 9:30. Communication is the key. But nonetheless, St, Pier is an awesome space to enjoy views of St. Pete. I didn't love it at first, but I do now. You can walk, or take the tram which is free and take it to the Pier, and at the Pier, there's the Tiki bar with great views, a restaurant Teak, a coffee and ice cream shop, a store, & a small museum. And the views with all different levels and angles is really cool. You can park by Doc Fords restaurant which is covered and Park Mobile metered(currently under $3 per hour(I was surprised the cost wasn't more) or there is parking by the street all metered. If you don't want to pay to park, there are free two hour spots by Vinoy hotel and you can walk. The parking attendants chalk your tires so they know how long you been there and will definitely ticket if it's after two hours. There are street vendors and festivals that happen here. It's a great spot. Don't forget to bring your pup or your bird. read more

This is an awesome place to get some fresh air, put some steps on, and check-out some cool places to go and restaurants. The St, Petersburg Pier tram makes pick ups at the very end of the pier and at the very beginning of the pier. On our visit, the tram was clutch as it was extremely hot and I was already at my daily max steps, so it was a nice service to take advantage of. There are not many trees, other canopy, or sun shades to provide protection from the sun so definitely a big hat and sunscreen to protect yourself is in order. Also, definitely take along some water for hydration. Once we arrived at the end of the pier, we took the elevator from the Gift Shop to the fifth or top level, which was a bar with live entertainment. There were awesome views of the marina, the Airport, the St. Petersburg skyline as well as The Vinoy hotel. The SP Pier is a 'must-see' point-of-interest, and I would recommend a visit in the morning hours or evening when it's cooler and the sun is less intense. On our several visits to the pier during our stay, we always experienced a nice wind and lots of friendly dogs everywhere. read more

I absolutely love the St. Pete Pier. The views are stunning and there is so much to do, whether you are interested in grabbing a bite to eat, going for a walk, or shopping around. The tram is a nice touch for those who want to take a small joyride or simply take a break from walking around. There is also a large splash pad area and playground for kids, so this makes for a perfect spot for families, too. As someone who appreciates wildlife conservation, I always enjoy looking around the Tampa Bay Watch Discovery Center. I look forward to trying out some of the dining spots on the pier (like you can't go wrong with a bite to eat and amazing waterfront views, right??). This is the perfect spot to get your vitamin D in and enjoy some relaxing time outside with friends and family. read more

I was told this is one of the most visited piers in Florida and now I know why...because it is gorgeous especially at night!!! It made me want to moved out of Orlando straight to St. Petersburg. Walking on the pier at night is like magical! I loved the reflection of the buildings and their lights in the water, so colorful. The restaurant at the end of the pier was amazing! It's a 3 story building offering 3 different venues. Pier Teaki is a rooftop bar which has an amazing patio with great outdoor seating and an amazing view towards the ocean. Next is Teak, a nautical casual dining restaurant with a 360 degree waterfront view and a great indoor seating and decor. And last is Driftwood Cafe which serves delightful artisanal coffee and delicious treats. And the pizza served at Stone Fired Pizza is one of the best! read more

Soaking up the sunshine and waterfront vibes at the St. Pete Pier! From watching the sailboats on the bay to the skaters doing their thing, it's a beautiful spot to people-watch and just enjoy the day. St. Pete really knows how to do a waterfront area right. I can't get over the gorgeous views, the calm bay waters, and all the happy people walking by. The entire area is so well-designed for a day of fun and relaxation. Where the bay meets the shore and the sunshine is bright Sailboats pass by with a graceful, white sail On the pier, life's simple, a beautiful tale #StPetePier #StPetersburgFL #FloridaLife #SunshineCity #WaterfrontViews read more

We came here October 2024 In the afternoon. We had limited time so we just did a quick walk through. On the way out to the pier they had some music a DJ playing and then also a guy singing. They have a little trolley that will take you out there but we didn't have time to wait for it so we walked It was a bit hot but we survived. They have a little aquarium that you can go to for a fee it's more geared for children. Then we made it to the top bar which is the hotspot and they had a DJ and some Halloween decorations. We were so hot I just grabbed some ice water and then we headed back. The view on the back of the pier is very beautiful. They also have a gift shop. They have stairs and elevators. You will have to pay to park. I would say try to get as close to the pier as you can and park in the metered parking area. A good way to spend an hour or two. read more

The Saint Pete Pier is a remarkable engineering achievement offering the best view of Saint Petersburg. I enjoy taking my friends and family to the pier and walking down to the end. It's a wonderful way to admire the water and nature and breathe in the fresh air. At the front of the pier, you can find a playground, bar, concession stand, beach access, splash pad, restrooms, and a market area. The end of the pier features a five-story building with a rooftop bar that boasts a panoramic view of the entire city, which is definitely worth experiencing. For those who might have concerns about walking or have elderly companions, the pier provides a free tram service that will take you to the end of the pier. Personally, I love going to the rooftop bar at the end and indulging in a refreshing cocktail. Underneath the bar, you can find a nice restaurant with a stunning skyline view. Overall, this area is an excellent destination for families with children, teenagers who want to hang out, and vacationing families. read more

The pier was right across from my hotel and was the perfect place to get a walk in before grabbing dinner. I loved the little mini-botanic gardens all along the pier with native plants and signs identifying them. There are nice activity areas including a small beach and a good number of places to eat. There are some historical exhibits as well along the way including the story of the first airline. Definitely a nice place for a walk! read more

If you're ever in this area, definitely check out this beautiful and fun place. It is really so much more than a pier. Meter parking was plentiful and only cost $3.25 for 2 hours. So cheap for such a great attraction for the entire family! Loved seeing the kids enjoying the splash pad. There are a lot of shades, and lounge chairs with umbrellas at a beach area to hang out and also get in the water. Also enjoyed watching adults and children fishing. We walked around enjoying the beautiful scenery and also got on their tram that go up and down the pier. The cool breeze felt so refreshing! There's a Museum of History, Watch Discovery Center, and many restaurants all over the pier. We're planning to return again tomorrow to spend the entire day here as there is so much to do. Really a magnificent and gorgeous place! read more

St. Pete Pier is a great place to visit and enjoy the outdoors. At the entrance, you can scan a QR code to gain access to a map. I found this useful when walking around with family. Whether walking or running, many locals can be spotted getting their workout on. There's a couple spots along the pier where you can lay out by the beach area. I also saw a water play area for kids. Several restaurants and an aquarium can be found while walking the pier. If you become tired, you can always take a tram ride back to the main entrance. At the very end of the pier, you'll find a gift shop. The pier is definitely worth a visit if you are in the area! read more

Super fun to visit! Haven't gone since after the rebuild, but there is plenty to do here. You can park but be prepared for a 10 minute walk down to the end! There is a restaurant and bar on the top levels, the view is amazing! Quick service coffee shop and gift shop are at the bottom. They do offer a team service in case you don't want to walk. There is also a small aquarium:discovery center on the walk down. I believe $8 a person to get in. read more

On a recent trip to St. Pete, prior to my trip, I did some research on the top attractions in the city on TripAdvisor. St. Pete Pier was on the list so I checked it out on a weekday an hour or so before sunset. We took an Uber there so I can't comment on the parking situation. St. Pete Pier is a lovely part of town to take a stroll and take in all of the sights. I'm always relaxed and at peace when I'm by the water. You have nice views, including views of downtown St. Pete. These views become even nicer when the sun sets. There are several restaurants, bars, and vendors so you can grab a drink or some food as part of your experience. We ended up going to Doc Ford's Rum Bar and Grille for dinner. I highly recommend it! There are also five art installations spread out throughout the Pier. I love art, including street art, so we went on a little scavenger hunt to find them all. That was a lot of fun. TripAdvisor was right. St. Pete Pier is a top attraction in the city in my book too. read more

The walk was absolutely beautiful and still decorated for the holidays. The vibe was nice. Families playing in the spray pad, some mini golfing in the course of lights. A sax player playing some nice toons for our stroll. Light entertainers, dancers, those running and skating the length of the pier. The decorated boats in the bay. The well decorated pier, shops, smells in the air from then nearby restaurants just put a nice vibe in the air and made the walk and evening very pleasant. read more

We prefer piers with Midway games and maybe wee roller coasters, but this impressive and sturdy pier with its freectram ride is very nice. We rode the tram as Recon. We liked the look of the bar ? restaurant ? at the end of the pier, and much elevated, intend to return to trybit, as we had already eaten elsewhere. Handy public bathroom at the base of the pier, with classy masonry, nice touch. Minimal shopping cart people presence, and a few street performers. read more

St. Pete Pier is one of the gems of the St. Petersburg area! It's amazing what they've done with the spans that juts out into the ocean. The view is quite a site to see and the sunset on St. Petersburg is gorgeous to watch! As walkable as they come, I found myself taking morning strolls with my pooch to watch the sunrise. During the day you can also catch a tram that'll take you to the end of the pier. Particularly helpful for those that cannot get around like they used to but still want to take in the sights. There are places to eat and a couple of shops to get souvenirs and so on at. St. Pete Pier is just a breathtaking monument to architectural ingenuity and artistry.

Nothing exciting happening at the end of the pier, where this could be in my opinion a great place for any type of entertainment. Also pet friendly. read more
