St. Pete-Clearwater is a great destination to visit any time or season of the year. Dress for the climate and you’ll be ready to make the most of your visit. January through May is considered “high season” because of our gorgeous weather (and not-so-gorgeous weather in other parts of the country). Summertime is popular with families.
