St. Petersburg Sports and Recreation

It wouldn't be Florida if we didn't enjoy water activities. Two of my favorite that come to mind fishing and sailing.  La Gringa at the Municipal Marina offers half and full day sailing cruises.  And John’s Pass is a hot spot for chartering a fishing excursion with some local guides who know all the right locations.  You can fish for a variety of great catches, while spending the day enjoying the Gulf waters.

If you enjoy watching sports, the Tampa Jai-Alai is a seasonal sport that runs from December to April.  This fast paced sport is said to be the world’s fastest game!   The Florida Downs Racetrack in Oldsmar offers horse racing, and St. Pete’s Derby Lane is the world’s oldest Dog Track.   Each can make for a great day of action packed recreation, complete with food, drinks and good old fun!

It wouldn’t be spring if we didn’t mention Baseball!  Al Lang Field in St Pete is home to the spring training New York Mets and the St. Louis Cardinals.  In Clearwater, you will find Threshers or the spring training Phillies.  And Dunedin is home to the Toronto Blue Jays.  Everyone enjoys grabbing a hot dog, and sitting down to a great ball game.   But the Rays are the fan favorite in this area, and always pack the house with a great night of major league fun!

Lastly, let’s not forget golf.  With so many wonderful greens in the area, you can take your pick of some wonderful courses.  Bardmoor Country Club in Largo is the largest with 54 Championship Holes.  Offering  a full restaurant and country club, this facility also has a great tennis camp.  Also a challenge to play, are the Pasadena and Twin Brooks Golf Course’s with 18 holes each.

No matter, what your sport, St. Petersburg has it.  There are many ways to keep active and just enjoy a great day or night activity.  So get out of the house, and join in the fun.
