Stella’s Alterations

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.

The Salvador Dali Museum is a worthwhile day trip to St. Petersburg from Tampa. The museum holds the largest Dali collection outside of Spain. You'll be astonished to see the huge giant canvases painted with colorful fantastical dream like imagery, straight from the famous artist's head. Bring swimsuits to swim and build sandcastles at one of the nearby beautiful beaches that St. Pete is famous for. This trailblazing Spanish surrealist definitely had a unique way of viewing the world, and his one-of-a-kind viewpoints make up the many visually stunning exhibits you'll find here. When you and your date stroll from one exhibit to another, you will be seeing pieces that make up the world's most extensive collection of Dali's work.

Various events of history can be a bit eerie, but when you experience the unique Ghost Tour of St. Petersburg, that eerie feeling is elevated to a higher, much more chilling level. You'll hear true accounts of wandering ghostly spirits, haunted mansions, displaced phantoms and age old curses. Although the tour is a causal, unassuming walk through the city's quaint streets and beautiful waterfront, there are plenty of startling revelations on this unexpectedly shadowy excursion.
