The City of St. Pete Beach is hosting a Land and Gulf Safety event on Thursday. It’ll be from 10 a.m to 12 p.m. at the St. Pete Beach Access located at 4700 Gulf Boulevard.
St. Pete Beach Commissioner Melinda Pletcher would like to see parking fees increase from $3.25 an hour to $5 an hour. She tells ABC Action News that it could help free up prime beach spaces and keep traffic from those seeking a spot from backing up like it often does in places like Pass-A-Grille.
