SkyBeach Resort
If St. Pete’s a place for the dreamers, creatives, and doers to find their groove, SkyBeach Resort is where they can finally unwind. Completely unique, a little eclectic, yet always timelessly cool, we’re a haven for seekers of good times and great vibes. Hide from the midday rays under the shade of towering banyan trees. Explore the water via boat, paddleboard, or kayak. Trade tales of glory over a few cocktails as the sun fades. It’s all here—minutes from downtown, but a million miles from the ordinary.
