Things to do & places to visit in St. Pete Beach, Florida, United States

Sugary-white sand, dolphins frolicking just off shore and eight major barrier islands make St. Pete Beach a postcard-perfect seaside destination. Situated on a peninsula off Florida's west coast, it balances its oceanfront charms with top-notch art museums, including the largest collection of Salvador Dali paintings outside of Spain. Kayak through the calm waters, take a ferry to nearby Caladesi Island State Park to experience the state's wild beauty or stroll the rapidly gentrifying downtown for one-of-a-kind cafes.

I liked the place - hundreds of beautiful exhibits, wonderful glass items, i.e. perfect to shop for home decor, or art , or gifts. Modern lines, contemporary designs, bright colors. Vast representation of world cultures and of their artistic vision of the world. Because there are so many, these exhibits are a bit hard to choose from. I just looked at them, but plan to be back and get some memorable ... glass bowl or colorful painting, maybe? After all, Vincent Williams Gallery is on Corey Avenue, in the center of shopping activities on St. Pete Beach, exercised both by tourists and local public. And on Sundays, you'll have to make your way through the whole Sunday Market, to get to this gallery! Vincent William Gallery is nicely located, parking is on the street - on Corey Ave, that is.
