The old gay beach called "Bedrocks" after the gay bar that once stood there (it looked like a Flinstone's
building) is still frequented by family.
Go to St. Petersburg 5th Ave exit. Go west until it
dead ends. Turn left, then right at the light, over the bridge. This road will dead end at the beach,
with the Thunderbird Hotel directly in front of you. Go left. Stay to the right. Veer off to the right
at 7-11. The beach is about 4 blocks down on the right. It has a large concession stand/ restroom buiding
and a large parking lot to the left. Bring quarters for the bridge and the parking meters.
