One of the few beaches where drinking alcohol on the beach is allowed…no glass though! It is still considered by some to be the gay beach in the area, and one where you (usually) won’t get a second glance from holding your lover’s hand.ĮGMONT KEY & NAKED ISLAND- Accessible by boat in the mouth of Tampa Bay is Egmont Key, with a lighthouse and old fort falling into the water, creating great snorkeling, Just south of this is Passage Key, commonly referred to as Naked Island, where yes you can be nude, but don't disturb the nesting birds. The former home of Bedrox, a beachfront gay bar, has been turned into a public beach with pavilion. SUNSET BEACH- Located on the southern tip of Treasure Island, this mostly residential island is very popular for sunsets, with easy access just south of the Central Avenue Causeway. The bar has long closed, but many still appreciate the charm of the area. Going way back when the Lighted Tree was one of the only gay bars in the area, Pass-A-Grille has attracted Gays & Lesbians over the decades. PASS-A-GRILLE- On the southern tip of St Pete Beach, this narrow island (1 block wide) has lots of charm.

Great Sunsets and a laid-back easy going lifestyle add to the quality of life here.įORT DESOTO- Often listed in the top ten beaches in the country, Fort Desoto is a county park, which retains its natural beauty in many areas.
