This evening we took a walk on passagrille beach hoping to watch a nice sunset. The sky was very overcast, but the sun did manage to peek through before it went down. We stopped by Paradise Sweets for a smoothies. Summer is a great time to enjoy Passagrille since there are few visitors this time [...]

This afternoon we decided to leave the computers behind and head for the beach. Pass-a-Grille was our choice as it’s close by. We took a walk down to the jetty and enjoyed a view of a very green and vibrant Shell Key as we watched a rain shower form and start moving toward us. We [...]

Feels Like Summer on Florida Beaches

May 8, 2010

The unusually cold winter is but a memory now as the heat and humidity take over. Not as hot as July and August, but getting closer day by day. We went for an evening walk on Pass-a-Grille beach Friday evening and enjoyed the sunset. I couldn’t help but think about the big glob of oil [...]

Beach Days Are Here!

April 6, 2009

We almost didn’t find a parking space at Pass-A-Grille Beach this past weekend. It was the most crowded I’ve ever seen it. Still, though, it was a very laid-back crowd. No crazy spring breakers; just a friendly family atmosphere of all ages.  This beach is long, and can hold a lot of people quite comfortably. [...]

Pass-a-Grille Beach on a Warm Spring Day

March 19, 2009

It’s Spring Break! Lots of people at the beach now, and the weather is beautiful.  St. Pete Beach in general, and Pass-A-Grille in particular, is very laid-back during Spring Break. Plenty of people, yes, but a good mix of oldsters, families with kids, and mostly local college students. Great day for photographs at the beach [...]

Winter Walk on Pass-a-Grille Beach

January 26, 2009

The ice on my car windshield late last week was a sign that we would not be in for good beach weather for a while. But the early part of this week has warmed up nicely, at least during the daylight hours. It’s always cooler at the beach because of the breeze off the water, [...]
