Shopping in St Petersburg

  1. A

    BayWalk

    The downtown revitalization continues with BayWalk, an upscale shopping mall, bounded by 2nd and 3rd Aves N and 1st and 2nd Sts. The open-air emporium is pretty much just a mall, with lots of shops, eateries and a 20-screen theater. At night, however, it becomes one of Tampa’s favorite restaurant and party zones, when loads of bars compete for your attention with various drink specials.

    Haslam’s Book Store

    This incredible bookstore could be designated an attraction without raising any eyebrows. Founded in 1933, the shop needs half a block to house its 300,000 titles. It has a good Florida section, new and remaindered books and a core of used books.
