    This is one of my Favorite places to go on the weekends. It's not too far of a drive from Tampa. It's a cute little beach with some locally owned restaurants and shops. They always have a live band playing. I don't even get in the water when I come here, my husband and I just grab drinks and food and sit and watch the waves and enjoy the breeze.

    I've always called Pass-a-Grille the "sleepy" beach. Very relaxing, small town vibes. A warm and inviting community. One of my favorite beaches to stop and watch the sunset. It's grown in popularity over the years, appropriately so! Please respect the wildlife and nature restoration.

    My wife and I made the trip from North Carolina on a post business trip over a weekend and had an amazing time visiting this beach. The only other time prior to this beach trip we spent on the Gulf was at treasure Island which we enjoyed however we loved so much better. Not only do they have an amazing facility to for drinks and food nearby but they also had chairs and umbrellas to rent which was more than worth the $40 for the day. Coming from out of town we did not come equipped with much apparel to lounge on the beach and it was perfect accommodations for our trip. We made several excursions to the grill nearby for breakfast burritos which were amazing and then later on for drinks. Well I will definitely be back to this treasure

    I took my son and his wife and my 1 year old grandson here. They loved it. There were so many shells. The beach is beautiful white quartz sand. There are tons of shells here. I will start coming here on Fridays after work for sure.

    Despite the heavily shelled area along the water, this is my favorite beach to enjoy the sun.

    This is the most beautiful beach within a 200 mile radius. It is always clean, full of colorful sea shells and has a full service snack bar with seating, restrooms, dressing rooms and showers. You feel as if you’re on an island vacation and the sunset is breathtaking!

    My favorite quiet beach. Pros: Pizza and ice cream shops right within walking distance. Chair and umbrella rentals. Much quieter and less rowdy than St Pete Beach. Cons: not much parking

    it is south of St Pete Beach. The Pass-a-Grille beach has white powdery sand that extends far into the water, which stays shallow for a long way gradually deepening. The water is clear and emerald-colored. Pass-a-Grille has a lovely laid-back beach town vibe. There are not any large resorts or hotels in this area and it has a much more laid-back feel. we spent 3-4 hours here doing nothing, just strolling, collecting shells, and talking. it has that vibe. The sand is soft and white in most places, although shells do accumulate in some spots, which can be painful on bare feet. there are fewer restaurants and things to do in this area, although there are enough options to choose from. The town has kept its small beach town feel and has avoided becoming an overdeveloped tourist trap. Almost all of the town consists of beach houses and 1950s beach bungalows. There are no high-rise hotels or condos in the town. Most of the streets are lined with palm trees, and lush landscaping is everywhere you look. Parking: Onsite parking is available. Unlike Sarasota, Bradenton beach- parking is not free here in St Petersburg, it’s $3/hour. make sure when you are in the St Pete beach area, you don't do back-in parking. The back number plate should be visible to the sheriff/police. it’s the law Restroom: No Changing Room: No Shower: No

    One of my favorite beaches to visit near Tampa. Paradise Grille can be found near 10th Ave and Gulf Way for drinks on the beach and a bathroom. If you don’t arrive before 10am it gets crowded fast!! Not a deep shoreline so space is occupied quick. Public Parking from 21st Ave all the way down to 1st. Assortment of restaurants and shops not far from the beach, and also within a mile and a half walk of the Don Cesar (worth checking out if you haven’t been or seen before).

    Candy to the eyes… this beach is a everything you think of when you think of florida beaches. Pass-A-Grille is some of the clearest water in the St. Petersburg area. Although it is a public beach, it can feel very much like a private beach depending on the time of visit. I’ve enjoyed 10+ beach days here and have enjoyed every moment. Great beach for children, couples, groups, or solo.

    Love this beach. Not a cowded beach, Access to beach is easy and it's not a long walk to beach. The water is calm and warm. Oh and there are lots of seashells.

    Beautiful beach, cool, calm, clear blue-green waters. No shops or restaurants but peaceful. We brought sandwiches, water, chips, n snacks with us, didn't need anything else. No shade or break from the sun, bring tent/ umbrella/ sunblock. Parking $3.25/hr.

    Pass-a-grille is a beautiful beach! We finally decided to drive down there as our own beach had red tide and PSG had low levels. Beautiful clear water with lots of fish. Beach was full of shells, perfect for shelling and stabbing your feet 😅 Several restaurants nearby. The only complaints were parking ($15, at least on Labor Day Weekend) and we didn't have any bathroom facilities, at least where we were at. Other than that, wonderful place!

    It's a beautiful beach. Often times after storms roll through there is a good opportunity to find some unique shells. Plenty of paid parking all along the beach. It does get busy here even on weekdays.

  • 5/5 Brooklynne L. 9 months ago on Google • 39 reviews
    Such a quiet and pretty beach. The water felt so nice and it was a gorgeous place for taking photos! Seems like a perfect beach to go as a family to relax. The houses around the beach are also gorgeous and nice to look at. There’s tons of paid parking as well!

    One of the best beaches in Tampa Bay. Very clean and pristine, the only few ones that are worth visiting.

  • 5/5 Jay C. 10 months ago on Google
    Beautiful beach. Awesome vibe town. Would love to live here!

  • 5/5 Lynette J. 10 months ago on Google
    Beautiful beach. I love the short walk from parking to where I want to sit on the sand. Plenty of trash cans along perimeter so no excuses for dirty beaches. Also benches for those that are stopping by. Sand is a bit rough but you can find some beautiful shells here.

  • 4/5 Josh G. 1 year ago on Google
    Giving it 4 start because parking costs 3.75 an hour. Also, very limited amount of sand area for chairs and such. Water is beautiful and nice for swimming.

  • 5/5 Janet M. 9 months ago on Google
    Gorgeous beach! Generally has sanddollars and other shells to collect the painting I did below and covered apoxy, is all done with shells I collected from this beach❤️

    Perfectly embodies an Old Florida feel. Sweet and intimate beachfront and gorgeous small town vibe. Walking the little shops was a treat. If you’re tired of congested beaches and want something more cozy and sincere, the is the place to look.

  • 5/5 Q. Q. 1 year ago on Google
    Outside of parking,come early if you don't want to drive around for an hour. This place is amazing! Clean restrooms are always a bonus in my book, and you'll find it's close to shopping. Did I mention the beach is beautiful and clean.

    Pass a grille Beach is a hidden gem of Florida beaches, you do have to pay to park, an hourly rate, 3 hour maximum. Located south of St. Petersburg, FL, Crystal clear , calm waters, walking path to beach, no restrooms or shower, except on northern area, a restroom & event center. Manatees are often seen swimming in the area.

  • 5/5 Rudy S. 11 months ago on Google
    One of our favorite beaches in SWFL. Long stretches of white sand. Shells, shells, shells. A paradise for beachcombers. Can get crowded in high season. Convenient parking right behind the beach, but expensive ($3.75 per hour).

  • 5/5 Jess H. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited here a few times during our vacation to St. Pete. Beautiful, super clean beach, and there are public restrooms near by. Was never over crowded. We saw dolphins several times too! Very nice experience!

  • 5/5 Eduardo M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great white fine sand beach with excellent infrastructure and close by entertainment. Beautiful sunsets.

  • 5/5 Tracie M E. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favorite beaches, water and sunsets are beautiful. You can find many cool seashells. Cozy little town.

  • 5/5 Angie G. 2 years ago on Google
    I ride my scooter to Passe-a-Grille beach all the time. Great views, lots of nice restaurants, easy parking. The beaches are nice too. See dolphins here regularly. Great shells, but check first to make sure it's not occupied!

  • 5/5 Donna E. 1 year ago on Google
    I LOVE it here! Parking is more expensive here than at other beaches we enjoy visiting in Pinellas, and hard to find on a busy weekend but the beach is beautiful and worth scouting to find a spot! We spend the whole day but you would still get so much out of stopping for just an hr or 2.

  • 5/5 Gabriel C. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely beach with a historic feel. There are less resorts in Passe-a-grille, which gives this a simple charm in comparisons to St. Pete Beach's uptown beaches. Its proximity to a walkable, bustling but not busy, small business district certainly adds to this quaintness. Note, however, that this beach is significantly narrower than uptown beaches, which can either be a good or bad thing, depending on what you're looking for.
