First stop -
Sunset Beach

Sunset Beach is at the South end of Treasure Island.  You will pass by Caddy's On The Beach.  It's a great little restaurant right on the sand.  Order some food and dine on the top deck, or reserve some chairs and an umbrella on the beach.  Work on your tan for a bit, then hop back on your E Scooter.  

Next -
​Mastry's

Picture
Scoot over the bridge to Mastry's.  It's a little local brewery located on Blind Pass.  Food trucks often park outside so you can grab a bite here too.
Picture

Continue to -
​Upham Beach

Get off of Gulf Blvd. and scoot the side roads toward Upham Beach.  Relax in a chair under an umbrella, get in a game of beach volleyball, or cool off in the Gulf.  There are restrooms and refreshments at The Paradise Grille.  

You can download the app to see your speed, distance, and remaining battery life.

Picture

Keep both hands on the scooter at all times.
Do not wear headphones.
Listen to your surroundings.

TradeWinds Island Grand Resort

The Trade Winds Resort in St. Pete Beach is another potential stop on the route.  Have you watched the show 'Tanked' on The Discovery Channel?  They built an aquarium in Rumfish Grill, one of the resort's restaurants.  Check out the YouTube video here.  Then check it out in person after you stop by on your E Scooter.

The Undertow

Picture
The Undertow provides beach access to a few volleyball courts.  If you couldn't find a game at Upham, you can probably find one here.

Scoot by - 
The Don Cesar

The iconic hotel is at the North end of Pass-a-Grille.  Stop in for a cone of Working Cow ice cream.  

You've made it to
Pass-A-Grille

Picture
Pass a Grille is beautiful.  About one mile long and one block wide, it's at the southern end of St. Pete Beach.  There are plenty of shops and restaurants, and of course, beautiful beaches.  Catch a great view from the rooftop of The Hurricane.  Just don't get any food there.  You've been warned.
Picture

The Pier

You're at the end of PAG.  You can see Shell Key, a small island in the nature preserve.  Sign up for a paddleboard or kayak tour with Mad Beach Paddle Sports and we will take you to the private island.  ​Or reserve a boat from Treasure Island Boat Renatls and venture out on your own.  They are under new ownership and the new guys are great.  Ask for Cameron.

You have gone about 8 miles.
You should have about 50% power remaining.

Turn back North toward
​Sea Critters Cafe

Picture
If you haven't had anything to eat yet, or you are determined to be a glutton and order something from every place along the route, Sea Critters is your next stop.  With a relaxing atmosphere and outdoor seating along the bay, it's a good place to order an 'almond crusted grouper sandwich.'  When you're not traveling on a scooter you can arrive by boat.
Picture

You can recharge at any spot along the way.

The Polynesian Putter

You left PAG and now you're in the bike lane traveling North on the East side of Gulf Blvd.  Stop at the Polynesian Putter to play some mini golf.
