This part of St Pete is great to start and finish a long beachwalk. I walked 3-8 miles a day. You can finish with a cold drink when your done right on the beach.

Great beach for locals and tourists hang out here and enjoy the beach, water, sun and relaxing walks on the beach. Small lodging hotels and great local restaurants within walking distance. Parking on the street and in city area lots. Nice and clean, beautiful shells and don't forget the sunset!

Upham Beach is pretty much St. Pete Beach, just a stones throw up the coast. It's very pretty. I've heard they have done some serious undertaking to restore the sand on the beach. I don't know what it looked like previously, but I can tell you it is a very wide beach now, almost like Clearwater. The beach seems to be clean and well maintained. Close to the parking area there are restrooms, outdoors showers to rinse the sand off and concessions. The only real downside is you do pay for parking by the hour which is common up and down the coast. Also, keep in mind there are no lifeguards. They also have some volleyball courts set up as well.I've included several pictures from our visit including the parking area, beach, view, etc.If you found this review helpful, please let me know by clicking the button below!

There is a snack stand, picnic tables and restrooms... right off the parking area. 7 miles of beach to walk, you can bring your own beach chair or rent a cabbana/chairs. You can bring your own food/beverages if you like. Volleyball is set up and the the sand is perfect for making sand castles!

The entire shoreline in St Pete Beach is spectacular. and it goes on forever. It's a great place to walk or stroll as the water laps the shore. There are tons of Beach bars to stop for a refreshing drink and snack. I love the whole place! I live there during the winter.

Was there a few years ago and there were large yellow, sand filled tubes on the beach to help stop erosion I believe. They must have trucked in a bunch of sand and removed the tubes, Looks really nice and also a lot bigger. Has a little beachside grill there also. Very nice!!

Love it. Grew up here. Not as crowded as some of the bigger beaches, but just as pretty. Lots of bars & restaraunts in the area. Great sunsets. Do not try to swim in the pass near Woody's bar, as there is a serious undertow. (It is marked & obvious.)

Upham beach is a lovely wide stretch of beach now that groynes have been buried in sand. There is shallow warm water for children to play and wonderful stretch of beach to walk. Restaurants and bars are within easy reach to round out your visit.

The beach went from washed away to about a football field wide. The sand that was put in is a little Shelly yet, but it is a 250% improved beach.

Nicely located in St. Pete this beach is large, but not too large as it sits in an area where the you can enjoy a the calming waves and yet a great sunset as well. There is also a snack bar located here, too.

Public restrooms available. Metered parking. A nice beach, walking distance to restaurants, bars, and hotels.

This is one of the nicest public beaches in Pinellas county. Easy free parking and lots of restaurants within walking distance. Excellent for families with children.

Went there for over 25 years before first wife passed away. It was OUR place to go every year. All I can say is that it was a glorious place to enjoy and relax!

This is a little beach at the north end of the main St. Pete Beach. They have a little shack where you can get breakfast or lunch, good beach food and a nice spot to lie in the sunshine!!
