St. Pete Beach Vacation Rentals & Vacation Rental Homes - Rent Holiday Homes in St. Pete Beach, USA:
St. Pete Beach, Florida, USA is nestled between the Gulf of Mexico and Boca Ciega Bay. It is the southern most island of the Tampa Bay barrier islands. It is a haven for sports fishermen, golfers, boaters and sun lovers.
The southern most tip of St. Pete Beach, Pass-A-Grille, is the historic district. Settled first by Weeden Indians many centuries ago, it was then visited by sailors from England, Spain, France, and Cuba to rest, restore the fresh water supplies, and catch and smoke fresh fish for the return journey to their homeland. Many stories are told of pirates who would visit the island for the same reasons.
Pass-A-Grille was first settled in 1886 by Captain Zephania Phillips. George Lizotte, a Thomas Cook tour guide, visited the island and opened the first hotel in Pass-A-Grille in the late 1800's. Many of the original homes still exist. Historic walking tours are presented by the Gulf Beaches Historical Museum.
