"Good place to unleash your dog (assuming he's friendly). He/she can romp or take a dip in the bay. Remember to bring a doggy bag in case . . ."

"Named best American beach in 2005 by Stephen Leatherman. Great campsites on the water, kayaking and canoeing, mangroves, sea birds, a Spanish-American War fort, a fishing pier"

"St. Petersburg icon since 1926. The greatest chocolate milkshakes made with a Hamilton Beach mixer. Chili dogs. If you ask for ketchup, that's an extra 5 cents. You're messing with perfection."

"Remarkable sunsets on the Gulf of Mexico."

"Walking trails, alligators, lake vistas, QUIET!!!"

"The good cheesesteak starts with the roll. Jim's gets their meat from Cross Brothers, an excellent local meat packer. Forget the CheezWhiz. Provolone. Then cherry peppers. Cold beer optional."
