The St. Pete Pier

The St Petersburg Pier, also known as the St Pete Pier, is a landmark pleasure pier in downtown St Petersburg, Florida, United States. This iconic structure extends into Tampa Bay, offering visitors a unique perspective of the city and the bay. Over the years, several different structures have been built at the same location, each contributing to the rich history of the pier.

The New Pier District

The most recent structure at the St Petersburg Pier is the third one owned by the city. This five-story inverted pyramid-shaped building was designed by St Petersburg architect William B. Harvard Sr. The Inverted Pyramid Pier was closed in 2013, and the new 26-acre Pier District opened on July 6, 2020. This new district offers a variety of attractions for visitors to explore.
