TradeWinds Island Resorts

The west coast of our sunshine state is wonderful for families. You have Busch Gardens, the not to be missed Dali Museum(it has a fountain of youth after all!), The Clearwater Marine Aquarium, a fabulous award winning Saturday green market, and The Chihuly Collection featuring intricate works of renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly. And of course the best beaches and sunsets!

One of the newest museums in the destination is also one of the most unique: the Fairgrounds St. Pete is a immersive art and technology exhibition inviting visitors to explore original Florida stories. Other museums in the area include the Florida Holocaust Museum, St. Petersburg Museum of History and the Dr. Carter G. Woodson African American Museum. Read more about museums here.

With the gentle beaches and clear water, the waterfront TradeWinds Island Resorts makes a budget friendly family beach vacation easy.

Your beach chairs are comfortable and waiting, no chairs to haul, towels to wash, or umbrellas to set up.

A family programming and activities all day (almost like a cruise: tie dye t shirts, hair braids, water obstacle course, touch tank, kids club, pirate show…). Plus, they offer a KIDS CLUB! Download the app before you arrive to plan your days and more.

Not to be missed – the 33,500-gallon aquarium built by the people behind the Animal Planet hit series, “Tanked.” Guests have the opportunity to snorkel in the tank among indigenous fish!

Lots of easy on site dining options because we know you love not cooking! We do suggest booking Palm Court ahead of time for one night as it books fast. Slyce pizza is a few blocks away for an easy walk or delivery and gosh is it good.

Family friendly rooms with kitchenettes and multiple bed options. You have a fridge (not a tiny one) stove top, microwave, coffee maker and sink.

If you do end up with sandy clothing you would like to wash, laundry facilities are available.

They are offering a great summer special when you book 2 nights you get the 3rd one free!
