SkyBeach Resort
Lovely resort! Nice pools and lots of activities- pickleball, volleyball, kayaks and SUPs. Sky Bar is cute and lively. Luma has fabulous food - a bit pricey but worth it. Beach is on the bay so no beach walking. Great location - close to St Pete Beach and downtown St. Petersburg.We’d love to come ...
