St. Petersburg, like so many works of art, began as a grand idea: a progressive neighborhood brushed with beauty. The bay brought a cultural migration to this place of perfect climate and natural allure. In the 20s, waves of new residents rolled in, bringing their diverse passions to the year-round Eden. It wasn’t long before their pursuits were blended with the vibrant social scene. Everything from plays in the park, to painters on the pier, to postcard photographers strolling the streets. The community embraced this colorful, creative movement, and was even awarded one of the world’s largest Salvador Dali collections. Today, the canvas of St. Petersburg is painted with both a bayside palette and an international creativity—by any description, a masterpiece sparkling in the sun.
