Retail-oriented Public Beach Shopping in St. Petersburg

One of the most scenic and unique waterfront areas along the Gulf is where you will find John's Pass Village and Boardwalk. What makes this spot so special is all of the water based activity and the outstanding views. The Pass itself is the local boater's freeway in and out of the Gulf, which means a non-stop parade of boats cruising by. So at the Village, you get to browse neat shops, stroll along the boardwalk, and dine along a lively water playground.

	You will certainly enjoy the views, and expect a great mix of dining spots and beach style pubs to choose from.
	Be sure to go out on one of the rental boat cruises. These sightseeing boat rides last for about an hour and are very enjoyable fun.
	You won't be disappointed with the great restaurants to enjoy at John's Pass. One of our favorites is the Friendly Fisherman or a neat local's hangout is the Bamboo Beer Garden.
	It is all about the water here, a fishing and boating bonanza!
	This is shopping Fun Florida Style! You will find colorful and bright stores, many with that special florida beach feel.
	Be sure to walk across the John's Pass Bridge for some of the best views around.
	You don't even see it all on this photo, as you see the dining and shops along the southeastern portion of the Village.
