Weedon Island Preserve

Weedon Island Preserve, first inhabited by the Manasota peoples 5,000 years ago, is a significant cultural, ecological, and social destination in St. Petersburg. Nestled just minutes from downtown St. Petersburg and South Tampa, the preserve offers a mix of limited solid land and a rich marine ecosystem. Visitors can explore historical landmarks, hike through natural trails, and engage in activities such as birdwatching, kayaking, fishing, and wildlife photography. The unspoiled environment provides a serene setting for spending a day under the sun, surrounded by the natural beauty of Florida’s coast.
