Whether you’re a local planning a staycation or a visitor looking for a relaxing getaway, St. Pete Beach and the greater Tampa Bay Area have something for everyone.
Memorial Day Ceremonies
Honor the true meaning of the holiday by attending one of the many local Memorial Day remembrance events. The Bay Pines National Cemetery hosts a heartfelt annual ceremony, and several surrounding communities, including Gulfport and Treasure Island, offer parades and tributes to fallen heroes.
Soak Up the Sun on St. Pete Beach
St. Pete Beach is a top destination for Memorial Day Weekend thanks to its soft white sands and crystal-clear waters. Whether you’re lounging under an umbrella, diving into a game of beach volleyball, or renting a paddleboard for some active fun, the beach is the place to be.
Festivals and Live Music
Memorial Day Weekend brings a wave of festivals and live entertainment to the area. Look for beachside concerts at venues like the St. Pete Pier, outdoor markets in downtown St. Petersburg, or local food truck festivals. The lively atmosphere is perfect for families, couples, and groups of friends.
Outdoor Adventures & Family Fun
Memorial Day Weekend is ideal for exploring the great outdoors. Rent kayaks or book a dolphin cruise around Boca Ciega Bay, where you’ll have a good chance of spotting marine life. Nature lovers will enjoy a walk through some of the best parks and trails near Redington Beach, like the Fort De Soto Park, known for its hiking trails, bike rentals, and historic fort.
Families with kids should check out The Florida Aquarium in Tampa or the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, home of Winter the Dolphin. These attractions are great for daytime adventures before heading back to relax in your beach rental.
