The Fountain of Youth - Natalia Spinelli: Nothing really here but the history I love! Lithium fountain of youth. The healing power of lithium! Today lithium is first line of treatment for bipolar disorder. Little did the People know they were drinking āhappy waterā but it was promoted as āhealingā and people poured in. Lithium used to be all over the place until salt substitute containing lithium ruined it for everyone!

Historic Banyan Tree - St. Petersburg Alexsandra Urdaneta: St. Pete is full of surprises, but few places feel as quietly magical as the area where the historic banyan trees stand. We werenāt planning a long stop just a quick walk near the waterfront but the moment we saw these trees, it was like time slowed down. You canāt help but stop and look up.
These ancient banyan trees are massive, with roots that stretch and twist in every direction like something from a dream or a storybook. You almost feel like youāve stepped into another world something between a peaceful jungle and a scene from a fantasy movie. Thereās something deeply grounding and humbling about standing beneath them, feeling their history, their quiet presence.
Itās not just one tree either itās a network of giants, some of them with branches so wide and low that you could walk under or around them and get lost in your thoughts. The space underneath is surprisingly cool, almost like its own microclimate, perfect for sitting, relaxing, or taking photos. The natural light that filters through the leaves creates the most beautiful patterns on the ground itās honestly mesmerizing.
This place feels sacred without needing signs or plaques to tell you so. Whether youāre into nature, photography, quiet reflection, or even a romantic walk, this spot delivers something special. Itās also just steps from the St. Pete waterfront and close to museums and cafes, making it easy to include in any itinerary.
Thereās no cost, no entrance fee just nature doing its thing, right in the middle of the city. If youāre ever in St. Pete, donāt miss the chance to walk among these trees. Itās a peaceful, almost magical experience that stays with you long after you leave.
Flora Wylie Park - St. Petersburg Mike Zito: This is one of several parks along the St Petersburg bay. The asphalt and cement North Bay Trail is 6 miles long and transverses the parks along the bay. The views are spectacular.
In these parks along the bay are tennis courts, small beaches, volleyball courts,rest rooms, lots of benches facing the water, picnic tables, a workout area, childrenās playground and plenty of parking in several lots. There are walkers, runners, bikers and skaters.
The park is very safe and well maintained.
St. Petersburg Museum of History - St. Petersburg Melanie M: We walked in early afternoon today as we have the NARM membership so in my mind, it wouldāve been a free visit. The woman at the front desk was rude and condescending after I asked why this particular museum didnāt take it, āshe said then everyone would just walk in for freeā, yes thatās the point of having a reciprocal membership. Anyway, we paid the $15/person entrance fee, honestly it shouldāve been $5/person. It took us less than one hr to browse the semi empty, cold museum. There is currently the largest baseball exhibit my husband liked, a lot of war photos and info, voting in St Pete womenās rights area and some local art. It is a decent museum to stop in if visiting the St Pete Pier and/or dining next door, Perryās Porchā¦now thatās a 5āļø experience.
Egmont Key National Wildlife Refuge - Corey Foxworth: Old Florida right off our coast in the mouth of Tampa Bay! Rustic natural version of old Florida. Bring chairs, Umbrella and good vibes. Walk and explore the island or find a comfortable spot and relax and connect with nature. Still recovering from last storm season but worth the trip . I highly recommend.
Gizella Kopsick Palm Arboretum - St. Petersburg Krystal Gruner: Just take a moment to find the trail, and you will enter into a different world than the one of beach playing. This one is a wonderful world of palms! I have lived in Florida for 10 years now and had no idea of so many species of palms! I recommend the adventure club app to get to really know these trees and areas. My boyfriend and I seek arboretums out in every town we visit, each one has a different vibe, all good ones too! Highly recommend YOU find them hiding all around the United States. This one was special. It is home to a specific tree type, 800 species! What?! It was a beautiful day with an amazing person. Well, are you on your way there yet? Free always ends up being the best adventure times.
