St. Petersburg is one of our nation’s historic yet modern towns that knows how to embrace its natural amenities with culture, the arts, entertainment, exciting sports, bountiful parks, and recreational activities for everyone.
The Municipal Marina is in the heart of it all. So set your course for “St. Pete” and get ready to kick back, relax, and enjoy.

The area is surrounded by 244 miles of shoreline bordering, not one, but three bodies of water: Tampa Bay, Boca Ciega Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.
Calling it a boater’s paradise might be an understatement.

And we mentioned parks, there are roughly 2,300 acres of public land around town, located in 137 parks for all to enjoy. Being berthed in the Municipal Marina puts you in the heart of the third largest urban waterfront park system all the USA and maybe North America.
