  • St. Pete Beach is the perfect destination for an epic beach bar crawl, it was named the #1 beach in the United States by Trip Advisor in 2021!
    In this video we sit down and have drinks at 5 different beach bars along 2 miles of St. Pete Beach in Florida. There are several more beach bars that we didn't make it to during this crawl, which is why the St. Pete Beach area is a perfect area for a beach bar crawl!
    Spoiler alert: there happened to be a tropical storm in the gulf on the day we planned this epic beach bar crawl. Instead of going home and sitting inside while it rained we decided to make the most of it and go drink tropical drinks on the beach in the rain. We had a great time even though the weather wasn't ideal. Thanks to our friends Trevor and Katrina who were willing to laugh and drink with us through the tropical storm rain bands.

    Got to admire your dedication to hitting the bars despite the adverse weather....Brings back great memories of being on holiday there about 6 years ago...staying @ the Dolphin beach hotel...( Flippers)...After a tiring day on the beach we'd go down to the Undertow to slide a few beer's whilst enjoying the view...both inside & outside..🤣🤣😅....great video & thanks for reviving some great memories....👍🏾

      Most of them probably do serve chicken tenders, and you may be able to finds some cheese curds as well, although not Wisconsin quality! I would probably recommend avoiding the Undertow with children, but the rest of the beach bars are PG-13. Thanks for watching!

      Awesome, that will be sooo much fun 😀 walking along the beach from Undertow (where we started) to Jimmy B's (where we ended) is about 1.5 miles. If you were looking to do something a little shorter you could start at Flippers, which is about 1 mile from Jimmy B's. We find that after a drink or two the walking goes by quick 😆 Let us know if you have any other questions. We hope you have a great time!!
