Getting to Spa Beach & Parking
Directions to Spa Beach / St Pete Pier
Address – 800 2nd Ave NE, St Petersburg, FL 33701
If arriving via I-275, follow the interstate signs and exit onto I-375. I-375 becomes 4th Avenue North and guests should follow that to the end where it forms a T with Beach Drive. If guests wish to avoid some traffic, consider taking a left on Beach Drive, then a right on 5th Avenue North and a right on Bayshore Drive. You will find the Pier entrance at the next left.
There is limited parking at the Pier, so we recommend planning on parking in these locations.
- SouthCore Garage – 101 1st Ave S / Parking fee: $10
- Al Lang Parking Lot – 230 1st Street S / Parking fee: $10
Taking the Cross Bay Ferry
Visitors can travel from Tampa across the bay using the Cross Bay Ferry. The St. Petersburg Ferry Terminal is in the Port of St. Pete, adjacent to the University of South Florida – St. Petersburg Campus and The Dali Museum. Please visit www.thecrossbayferry.com for tickets and information.
Taking the SunRunner
Getting to the Pier just got easier with the new SunRunner Bus Rapid Transit. The closest spot to the Pier is 5th Street N (Stop #1111). Once you get off at that stop, continue down 1st Ave N towards the water. You’ll pass Jannus Live on the right and Starbucks on the left. Once you hit South Straub Park, you’ll see the entrance to the Pier ahead. For more information, visit the SunRunner’s site.
