St. Pete Beach occupies the whole of Long Key, a barrier island on the Gulf of Mexico, connected to the mainland by three separate bridges. ## What St. Pete Beach does to a home appliance. The city itself dates only to a 1957 consolidation of four smaller municipalities, Pass-a-Grille, Don CeSar Place, Belle Vista and St. Petersburg Beach, which won by a five-vote margin. It kept the longer name St. Petersburg Beach until a 1994 vote shortened it to St. Pete Beach, to set it apart from the city of St. Petersburg across the bay. As of the 2020 census, 38 percent of the city's 8,036 housing units were counted as vacant, a share driven by seasonal and vacation-home use typical of a barrier-island community.
