Winter Beach debuts at The St. Pete Pier!

Ice skating on the beach? Although that sounds like a crazy concept, you can do just that at Winter Beach in St. Pete! Located at the St. Pete Pier, the new attraction boasts a skating rink with a 360-degree water view.

Whether you’ve been skating for years or are just learning how, the Winter Beach skating rink is perfect for all ages (their motto is “if you can walk, you can skate!”). However, children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult. There are even special events and theme days such as 90s night, Glow Skate, Princess Skate, and a Midnight Skate on New Year’s Eve. Booking your tickets in advance is recommended since walk-ups are not always guaranteed. General admission is $17 per person and includes 75 minutes of ice time and skate rental.
