Why Pass-a-Grille Stands Apart
Florida has 825 miles of coastline. Each year, USA Today's 10Best Readers' Choice Awards spotlight the state's finest shorelines — and this year, St. Pete Beach made the list. Pass-a-Grille, the historic village at its southern tip, is where the real magic happens.
While other Florida beaches compete for the spotlight, Pass-a-Grille has stayed quietly exceptional — no beachfront towers, no chain hotels, just four miles of Gulf-front sand, a National Historic District one block wide, and some of the most breathtaking sunsets in the state.
"Pass-a-Grille offers something you genuinely cannot replicate anywhere else in Florida — uncrowded Gulf sand, an intact historic village, and a pace of life that feels like the state as it used to be."

What Sets Pass-a-Grille Apart
4 Miles of Uncrowded Gulf Sand
No beachfront high-rises. No condo towers. Just powder-soft white sand, blue-green Gulf water, and room to actually breathe. Pass-a-Grille is how Florida beaches used to be — and somehow still are.
A Historic Village Frozen in Time
The heart of Pass-a-Grille is listed on the National Register of Historic Places — a one-block-wide neighborhood of bungalows, local restaurants, and shops you won't find replicated anywhere else.
Easy to Reach, Hard to Leave
25 minutes from downtown St. Petersburg. 45 minutes from Tampa International Airport. Guests who find Pass-a-Grille come back every year without exception.
Four Rentals, One Perfect Beach
All four properties are locally managed, professionally maintained, and steps from the Gulf of Mexico.

The Kind of Sunset That Ruins All Other Sunsets
Pass-a-Grille faces directly west over the Gulf of Mexico. Every clear evening ends with a full-sky Gulf sunset — the kind guests post, share, and try to describe without ever quite doing it justice.
No reservations required. No crowds to fight. Just walk to the end of the street, find your spot on the sand, and watch the sun melt into the Gulf. Our guests tell us it's what they miss most when they leave. Our job is to make sure you come back and see it again.

- Fort De Soto Park: 15 minutes away — five islands, seven miles of award-winning beach, kayaking, fishing, and a Civil War-era fort.
- Shell Key Preserve: A pristine undeveloped barrier island accessible by boat from Pass-a-Grille. Go early for shelling and dolphin sightings.
