Beach Snoballs in St Pete Beach
Sugar And Soft Shaved Ice Fuse In Shivery, Sweet Awesomeness
Do you know anyone who doesn't like shaved ice?
Me neither.
It just seems so indulgent. One, it's sweet. Two, it's so cold. Three, it's so soft. Four, it just seems a little naughty. (After all, didn't your mother tell you not to eat snow? More than once?)
Well, hold on, because we're about to take naughty to a whole new level.
It is a grave error to assume that shaved ice consumption requires hot weather.
Beach Snoballs in St Pete Beach is the purveyor of these delightful icy desserts they call Snoballs.
Ever run out of syrup with a sno-cone? It's just so sad! Hopeless even. That doesn't happen with Snoballs. With finer ice than that found in Sno-cones, there's no fighting between the syrup and the ice. Ice and syrup are one.
Spike It!
You adults know what I'm talking about. Add a little warmth to counteract all that coldness.
You can find Pina Colada, Margarita. Bahama Mama (my favorite) and more. Or just add a shot to any flavor. Or two. Or three to any Snoball. Terry likes to go big on the Bahama Mana.
Have Fun Choosing
Add Some More Sugar!
Flavored syrups made with real sugar not enough carbs for you? It's OK, we get it.
Then how about you add ice cream. Yes, to your shaved ice.
Still not hitting the sugar receptors on all cylinders? You can add that food of the gods, Sweetened Condensed Milk. Or Caramel Sauce, Chocolate Sauce or Whipped Cream.
Experiment!
Ready for adventure? No training wheels for you. You can build it yourself. You pick a size, decide whether or not you want to add ice cream, choose up to three flavors and then select your toppings.
Do you find 60 flavor choices and over 25,000 combinations a bit, err, overwhelming after a simple day at the beach? Not to worry.
You can let someone else do the heavy-lifting and try one of the Signature or Specialty snoballs. These include such creations as Salted Caramel Deluxe, German Chocolate and a Tangerine Dream.
The menu includes little icons to let you know which combos are their best sellers.
Pure and simple Bahama Mama! Watch the video and keep an eye on the spoon in the video below
Locally owned by just the nicest people (a mother daughter team), you won't be disappointed. Unless they're closed.
Visit them at 7350 Gulf Blvd, St Pete Beach. Weekdays from 2 pm to 10 pm and weekends from noon to 10 pm.
Note to you old-timers. Beach Snoballs used to be located on Treasure Island where Middle Grounds Cafe is.

Where to Rent Baby Gear – Pack Less Play More - Gulfport, Treasure Island & St Petersburg
When Freshness Really Counts
As any chef or good cook will tell you, one of the keys to cooking success is to start with the freshest ingredients.
And I think there's nowhere where that's more important than fresh seafood..
We've all taken that stroll through a supermarket reeking of questionable seafood products and bleach, only to find our appetite and enthusiasm taking a dip. Or nosedive. No pun intended.
Well worry not, we've got you covered! Read on for how to buy fresh fish and where to buy it in the Gulfport, Treasure Island, St Pete Beach and St Petersburg area.
Mary Oliver
" Listen, are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?"
How to Buy Fresh Fish
Step 1: Go to a local and reputable seafood shop. See the next section "Where to Buy" below.
Step 2: Ask what the freshest fish is or what the catch of the day is.
Step 3: If you decided to buy anything other than what they tell you is freshest or the catch of the day, make sure what you're buying isn't "previously frozen".
Step 4: Make sure the flesh is firm and shiny. It should provide resistance when touched. Don't go poking it with your uncovered finger, however. I saw one source that said the fish should look as if it might jump up and swim away. If only, the fish is thinking. If only...
Step 5: Sniff it. Yes it's ok. Fish isn't supposed to smell fishy. It should smell fresh.
Step 6: If the poor creature still has its head intact, check the eyes. They should be clear, not cloudy. (You know, so he can see better...)
Step 7: Gills if present should be bright pink and wet. No slimeyness. Ever.
Step 8: For fillets or steaks, make sure the meat doesn't separate from itself. If it does it isn't fresh.
Step 9: If the fish still has its skin, make sure the skin is not discolored. No brown or yellow edges. Mostly this means even, consistent coloring.
Riding on the road is not necessary - we have safe trails and pathways!

Recipe Suggestion: Perfect Salmon
Note: This cooking technique can be used on other varieties of fish too. Just use your seasoning of choice!
Ingredients
Salmon filets, not steaks
Olive Oil
Soy Sauce
Maple Syrup
Spray or rub a small amount of olive oil on the bottom or skin-side of the fish. Massage soy sauce into the top of the fish. Place the fish skin side down on a small metal tray. (Sizzle platters are perfect for this.) Pour a modest amount (approximately 1 T) of maple syrup over the top of the fish and spread it around.
Place the salmon in a COLD oven. Now turn the oven on to 400 degrees and set a timer for 25 minutes. Your fish will be moist and flaky and the soy sauce maple syrup on top provides a slight crunch.
Enjoy!

Disposing of Fish Parts - How to be a Good Neighbor!
No matter how fresh that fish is when you get it, eventually it won't be. If you have leftovers (or leftover "parts"), please don't just toss them (bagged or not) in the trash can and let them marinate until trash day. Please help keep the trash cans clean and smelling the best they can by refrigerating your excess in a plastic bag and tossing out the morning of trash pickup.

Bikes Gulfport and Treasure Island
Bike Routes and Rentals in Gulfport and Treasure Island
With so much beautiful weather year-round, Florida is a natural spot for a bike ride.
You can ride around the local neighborhoods, checking out what's happening with local projects, visiting shops and restaurants, the Tuesday Fresh Market, the Gulfport Marina, the Treasure Island Friday Market, bike to Gator's for lunch. There are so many quiet neighborhood streets you can just cruise around on and that may be all you need.
However, if you'd like to venture further afield, read on!
Isak Dinesen
" The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears, or the sea."
Winning Bike Rides
We’ve outlined our top riding suggestions below and provided rental spots near each ride.
You can hop on the Pinellas Trail, head out to Fort DeSoto Park or bike beachside along the Treasure Island Beach Trail.
Riding on the road is not necessary - we have safe trails and pathways!
Ride #1 - The Pinellas Trail
Officially named The Fred Marquis Pinellas Trail, this rail-to-trail urban pathway runs from St Petersburg north to Tarpon Springs. In 2017 an additional 5-mile section was opened into Pasco County. The pathway is part of the Coast to Coast Connector, a developing trail network that will span 250 miles across the state.
Gulfport Spur
There is a Gulfport “spur” to the trail, just north of Gulfport Boulevard, off of 55th St near Tomilson Park. The section closest to Gulfport travels through mostly urban landscapes, crossing streets with dozens of pedestrian bridges. The street crossings that are not protected via an overbridge almost always have a marked crosswalk with flashing lights.
Ride Planning Resources
The link below is an invaluable resource in planning your ride. It contains link to maps, links to rules, links to audio tours, bike rental locations along the rental and emergency assistance information.
http://www.pinellascounty.org/trailgd/
Gulfport Spur to the Pinellas Trail
insider tip: ABC Bicycle Rentals - the Pinellas Trail
Helmuts included at no charge! Rentals include "Flat Packs" and water bottle cages.
ABC Bicycles is a bike shop near the trail and I have used them for purchasing bike accessories as well. They're located very close to the trail, so you may be able to drive here, get bikes and head out on your way. Rentals include “Flat Packs” and water bottle cages. Hybrids include kickstands and a lock. Helmets are included at no charge or you may use your own. Hybrid, Road and Electric Assist bikes are available!
Here's the link to general rental information: http://www.abcbicycles.com/rentals
Complete rental policies at ABC Bicycles can be found here: http://www.abcbicycles.com/about-us/policies#bicycle-rentals
Maybe a sunset ride is in your future?
Ride # 2 Fort DeSoto
Fort De Soto park is worth a visit for many reasons besides the multi-use trail. It is the largest park within the Pinellas County Park system and is made up of five interconnected islands, or “keys”. Total acreage is 1,136! There are more than 328 species of birds here, an historic fort, 7 miles of waterfront (including almost 3 miles of beautiful white sandy beach, a boat launch, playground, restrooms, food concession area, two fishing piers, a nature trail, a dog park and ferry service to Egmont Key! So you can see that there are plenty of reasons to venture out on a bike on the 12-foot-wide asphalt multipurpose trail.
Ride Resources
The park service has a wonderful resource-rich webpage to the park and its features here: http://www.pinellascounty.org/park/05_ft_desoto.htm
insider tip: United Park Services - Fort DeSoto
Ten types of bicycles built for one to eight people!
Rentals at Fort DeSoto – United Park Services
The rental location is located on the multipurpose trail behind the Fort & Gift Shop. Phone number is 727.864.1376. Ten unique types of bicycles built for one to eight people!

TIBT Sign at the 119th Ave entrance
Ride #3 - Treasure Island Beach Trail
On the southern end of Treasure Island is Sunset Beach, which runs from the 119th Ave S to Gulf Front Park. (If you see the Shake Shop on Gulf Boulevard, you're about 1 block north.)
There are other beach access roads along the way linked to Gulf Boulevard street access.
There concrete path is flanked by a short wall on the beach side. The wall helps keep sand off the trail while still allowing full beach views. (Note: As of August 2018 the trail is under construction at multiple locations to repair cracks. It's annoying enough to have to get off the trail if you're walking. If you're biking its a non-starter until construction is complete. I would estimate it is completed by some time in September. Treasure Island's website says it is supposed to be completed in August.)
Anyway, one of the nice things about the trail is it's width, smooth surface, unobstructed views of the beach landscape and access to restaurants (and some condos) along the way. You can get to Sloppy Joe's from this trail.

Partial map of Coast to Coast Connector Network
Coast to Coast Connector
If you're an avid cyclist, you may already know about Florida's Coast-to-Coast Connector. When completed, this connection of bike paths will link communities between St Petersburg and Titusville.
The goal is to provide a safe and scenic way for visitors to explore Florida on bike and on foot. The "C2C" is a major priority within the Florida Greenways and Trails System Plan.
Click on the map above to be taken to the full version on the website.
Click HERE to view a video about the C2C.
The coverage C2C network is really something to behold. When we drive from Texas to Florida, we usually avoid I-75 (very prone to frequent accidents and long backups), which means we cut down from I-10 and go down 98 through Perry, Chiefland (GPS Bermuda Triangle), Crystal River, Homosassa Springs and then pick up 589 Toll, the Suncoast Parkway. The Suncoast Trail parallels the toll road in that area. Read more about the Suncoast Trail here.
For now be warned that there is a gap between the Pinellas Trail and the Suncoast Trail, north of Tarpon Springs. (If you visit the map above you'll see that the Coast to Coast Connector is estimated at 250 miles, with current gaps estimated at 69 miles. Additional funding is needed to complete it.)
insider tip: Splashy Houses with bikes
The Shack & Flunky; Casa Sol, Harbor Mist. Isle Be Back, Tyn & Marty's Old Fashioned Beach Cottage
Splashy Bikes
Splashy does have bicycles in a general bike pool, however they may not be available to you during your stay.
Also, not all of our rentals are large enough to keep the bikes inside while you’re not riding them.
Splashy bikes and bikes with homes are not to be taken outside of the general neighborhood. (In other words, please don’t load them up in your vehicle and take them to Fort DeSoto).
Riding on the Pinellas Trail is fine, but keep in mind that we will not be able to come get you should the bike need maintenance.
Sandy Gingras
" At the beach, treasure is what we find, not what we buy." - from How to Live at the Beach
Bike Etiquette
If you're using the bikes at one of our rentals, we ask that you do not ride them in the sand or lay them down in the sand.
If you're renting a bike, please follow the rules they've laid out for you in your agreement.
Leave a comment below and tell us if you have a favorite ride!

Swimming Pool Options Treasure Island
Swimming in Treasure Island Florida
Sometimes a swimming pool just hits the spot
If all that sun, sand and surf has become, well, annoying, we know you still need a way to cool off. Or maybe just need a smaller body of water to keep the kids corralled in other than the Gulf of Mexico. It may be time to try one of the local pools. Sure, you can try to sneak into one of the resorts, but are you really ready to live like you're in witness protection, constantly looking over your shoulder, worried someone is going to ask you for your room number? There are two great complexes in the St Petersburg area which are open year-round. Both have a variety of swimming options and very helpful websites.
St Pete Beach Family Aquatic Center
The first, the St Pete Beach Family Aquatic Center, is about a 10 minute drive from Treasure Island. The SPB Family Aquatic Center is a year-round heated/chilled facility, complete with a children’s play area that features water features that spray and squirt water, plus lounges, showers, dressing rooms, etc. Because the facility is sometimes used for special events, I suggest contacting the center before heading over – 727-363-9264.
You can find information about hours & fees, classes, pool regulations and slide rules here. The center is located at 7701 Boca Ciega Dr, St Pete Beach.
North Shore Aquatic Complex
The St Petersburg Parks & Recreation department operates St Petersburg’s pools. There are 9. The North Shore Aquatic Complex is going to be the most similar to the SPB Family Aquatic Center. And only the North Shore Aquatic Complex is open all year. It is located at 901 North Shore Dr, NE, St Petersburg. This complex features a 50 meter pool with diving board, 25 yard training pool with zero depth entry, a play pool with a giant flume slide, splash pad and accessible zero depth entry. Reach the North Shore complex by phone at 727-893-7727. Rainout line is 727-877-2236 or view online.
