Welcome to the self proclaimed, sunset capital of Florida, St. Pete's Beach! And since I basically only accomplished three things while I was visiting, one of which was take in some killer sunsets, I can attest that they live up to the name.
While in town to attend an event for a family friend, my mom, sister and I spent time lounging on the beach, eating junk food at the beach bars, and taking in the majestic views from the top of The Don Cesar. I have only been to St. Pete's Beach this one time, but it felt like the Caribbean with it's beautiful white sand beaches and little beach shacks selling food, drinks, and surf lessons.
The centerpiece of St. Pete's Beach is the stunning Don Cesar Hotel. The views of the resort and from the top of the hotel are breathtaking. The scale and scope and history of the property is grand. According to the website, the hotel "Opened in the heyday of the Gatsby Era in 1928, The Don CeSar has been welcoming travelers for nearly a century. From high society's playground to starring on the silver screen to being a Gulf Coast icon, The Don CeSar boasts a rich and glamorous history. Distinguished celebrities such as Clarence Darrow and F. Scott Fitzgerald have stayed at the Pink Palace on St. Pete Beach. We even served in the World War II. With a sugar-fine beach, radiant sunsets, a world-class spa, and a vibrant food scene, you really can have it all. More than a landmark, The Don is epic style. Timeless. Majestic. Cool."
And how about the proclamation as Florida's best sunsets? Yes, I think they are pretty legendary.
