PASS A GRILLE 7 Day LOCAL WEATHER TRAFFIC MARINE

Pass-A-Grille LGBTQ History:

This area of Pass-a-Grille was the gay beach long before Bedrox and the popularity of Sunset Beach. The Hurricane was an open-to-the-beach gay bar called Jack's 809. On 8th, around the corner was the Lighted Tree (earlier Georgia's) and a gay guesthouse.....the area became more difficult to visit by the imposition of permit-required parking on all the streets except the metered spaces on Gulf Blvd.

PASS-A-GRILLE BEACH (PAG) TODAY:

Pass-a-Grille is a pet friendly neighborhood at the southern end of St. Pete Beach in Pinellas County, Florida. The beach community includes the Pass-a-Grille Historic District, Gulf Beaches Historical Museum, and Pass-A-Grille Beach. The small beach town includes inns, hotels, restaurants, retailers, and waterfront areas on the Gulf of Mexico as well as the intercoastal waterway. It is located on a barrier island just south of the famous Don CeSar Hotel (The Pink Hotel)

LGBTQ:

The LGBTQ "Section" is from 8th Ave. & Gulf Way to 1st Ave & Gulf Way (in front of The Huricane and Keystone Inn to the jetty) With more than 20 blocks of beach side parking, and with the growing LGBTQ population moving to the Tampa Bay / St. Pete Metro Area, this is can be a fun filled LGBTQ beach location.
