St Pete Pier Rated as USA Today's Greatest Attractions
Happy New Year!
Published on 01/01/21: Happy New Year, Everyone! This last year was certainly ‘different’, yet ol’ crazy 2020 did have some bright spots. From a local perspective, the new St Pete Pier opened!
Yesterday USA Today’s Reader’s Choice list voted it # 2 on the list of ‘greatest new attractions of 2020’, in the entire country! If you haven’t visited the pier yet, hope you can check it out sometime soon! Huge playground, full bar, restaurants, waterfront views, beach, spray ground, so much more.
Here’s what USA Today had to say about the new St Pete Pier:
“This new attraction on the St. Petersburg waterfront offers 26 acres on the blue waters of Tampa Bay. The new pier features art installations, a marketplace, Tampa Bay Watch Discovery Center, playground, lawn areas, a fishing deck, bars and restaurants.” — at St. Petersburg Pier.
I’m a Florida native and truly love Saint Petersburg and the surrounding areas! I started LovingStPete on Facebook and Instagram to help clients and others learn about our area. It’s now followed by over 25 thousand people! If you have any real estate questions, simply contact me. You’ll receive up to $10 at closing when you use my LovingStPete Team to buy or sell a property! My past includes developing a vacation rental advertising company, which I ran for a decade, and then sold to HomeAway/VRBO.

Mike Braswell is a Tampa Bay Realtor, serving St Petersburg, Clearwater, all nearby beaches and more. Mike started LovingStPete in October of 2020 after a difficult year took its toll on local businesses. After being cooped up for portions of 2020 (lockdown) Mike and his son decided to get out and explore, helping spread the good word about the local area he loves so much. Often even doing gift card giveaways to support local. LovingStPete is now followed by over 48 thousand people on social media! The majority of posts are informative on fun parks, activities, day trips, great restaurants, and in general provide a comprehensive tour of the area!
Soon after receiving his bachelors in Management Information Systems, Mike developed and then operated a vacation rental advertising business for 10+ years as CEO/Owner. The business was eventually acquired by VRBO. Mike has earned the trust of many large clients over the years. Such as NFL, Wynn Resorts, Blue Cross Blue Shield, VISA, Genuine Parts Company (NAPA Auto Parts), AT&T, and other Fortune 500 companies.
When not spending time with his beautiful wife and energetic son, Mike enjoys boating and is also an avid tennis player. An interesting fact about Mike is that he grew up on an avocado farm with over 15 varieties, some of which you can find in our local Publix/Winn Dixie as his dad still farms the same farm at 87 years old!
