City Tour: St. Petersburg Pier
st pete pier
One of my favorite places to go in
is downtown to The Pier. It has a pretty unique inverted pyramid design with a beautiful waterfront view of the Tampa Bay. I'd say it's the most recognized landmark here. There's lots of touristy shops, restaurants and bars in it that I admit I don't go there for. I just love walking along side the water and stopping to cheer on local fishermen as they reel in their prize. I can't forget to mention going up to the top of the building to the observatory deck. It's a lovely place to go to see St. Pete's seaside skyline.
A happy fisherman who just caught a fish as I was walking by.
Business has been really slow here and the City held an
international design competition
to give it a new edge and completely replace it. I'm sad to see it go down next year, but our downtown is growing it'll be interesting to see a
of the Pier over the water.
What is your favorite place to go in your city?
I might have to take notes one day if I travel there :)
