Food, Drink scene

Awesome brunch and lunch spot right here in downtown Gulfport. It's a less-than-mile beautiful walk to Stella's. (Hint: during the on-season, make a reservation...it gets packed, early.)

By far my favorite place to eat in the area. Pro-tip: They have free valet parking so don’t bother looking for a spot  French toast and brunch in general is incredible.

Must visit museum. Parking is very annoying and expensive so if you can park on the street and don’t mind walking, that’s better.

The vibe is hip and fun with great restaurants but can be very busy, especially on the ‘On’ season. Try to Lyft or Uber as parking is pretty bad! Some locals consider downtown St. Pete (DTSP) to be a tourist trap, but it’s fun to experience it at least once while you’re here.

Beaches

By far my favorite beach in the area. It’s quiet and lovely.
One of the most beautiful places in the area! Tips: there are a few small tolls en route. Pay $5 (per car) for the entire day. Pay at the pay stations and put the receipt on the dash. The beaches are gorgeous, there’s kayaking rentals, bike rentals, and also a dog beach where your pups can run free. Must visit!

Conselho para os viajantes

Transporte

No car? Lyft is your best friend

You can Uber or Lyft just about anywhere in the city. There are tons of available cars and the wait is usually less than 5 mins. We also have a good bike share program, google “coast bikes”.
Costumes e cultura

Beware of the flashing lights

If you’re driving around, be very mindful of any flashing lights! Pedestrians always have the right of way and there are tons of locations where flashing lights go off so people and bikes can cross. You must stop. If lights are flashing in a school zone, you must only go 15 mph. Also beware of all stop signs, it might not feel like it, but every other street will have a stop sign.
O que levar

Check the weather beforehand

The weather from November - May is just about perfect, but there are some times where it strays and gets way hot, or pretty cold. Check your weather app prior to packing!

Check out great explorations

It’s a super fun place for little kids to explore. It’s next to the Sunken Gardens.

Beach general advice

We are a tourist town, which means everyone that comes down here wants to go to the beach. However, there’s a really great way to beat the crowds… You must go early and claim your spot! If it’s the height of tourist season, December - May, then we highly suggest you go to the beach no earlier than 10:30am. It’s not an exaggeration when we say that early, because it’s not fun to sit in traffic and have to drive around and around in circles trying to find a parking spot! Go early and reap alllllll the benefits of ease and relaxation.
