The Wonderful Waterfront – A Walking Tour w/Monica Kile
Demens Landing Park, Downtown St Petersburg
$ 25+
Overview
This tour visits the breezy and beautiful waterfront to study its evolution from a gritty coastline filled with fishing boats and smokestacks to a glittering promenade teeming with tourists.
We'll learn about the waterfront parks, the history of Spring Training, and how zoning changed Beach Drive. We'll view the stunning Vinoy Hotel and the prettiest public restroom, while gaining an appreciation for how the things we don’t see anymore - like the segregated beach and the grand hotel that Hollywood blew up, have influenced our past.
PERFECT FOR: Tourists + Locals looking to understand the importance of urban planning, baseball, and tourism in the city's history (and a breezy stroll!)
