St. Petersburg with its two main waterfronts and its highway bridges across Boca Ciega Bay to Long Key—with its splendid bathing beaches on the Gulf—has within its boundaries some of the most interesting waterfront developments to be found in Florida. The residential districts with magnificent homes of the Spanish style of architecture give St. Petersburg a ranking among the most beautiful of Florida's cities. The sunshine is so constant in St. Petersburg that a leading daily newspaper gives away its entire edition on any day when the palm trees cast no shadow. This has happened less than a score of times during a period of years. So the slogan, "The Sunshine City," is a reasonable one. This whole region of the west coast is a fisherman's paradise. The warm waters of the Gulf fairly teem with aquatic life. Tarpon, king fish and other members of the finny tribe here supply sufficient thrills to satisfy any discipline of Isaac Walton.
