The injuries sustained by various birds in the area are seen as just temporary by the caring professionals at the Suncoast Bird Sanctuary. This prominent avian hospital rehabilitates thousands of feathered creatures who need a little extra care. Creatures from birds to raptors are treated and then released, but several of the injured specimens make their permanent home here. The sanctuary has gotten lots of attention for breeding Eastern brown pelicans in captivity. As many as 500 "patients" can occupy the facility at one time. When you visit this attraction, you can see an impressive variety of winged creatures that include herons, egrets, cormorants, seagulls and more.

There's no question that spending time with your significant other is an opportunity to create some truly unforgettable memories. One way to do that is to enjoy a romantic date at Spa Beach Park and renting a paddleboat for a splashy excursion. This park is located at the base of St. Petersburg Pier and is a popular site for gatherings and events. So grab your picnic basket and suntan lotion and spend some amusing, enjoyable moments with the one you love.
