Waterfront Walking Tour
Saturday, May 23, 2026 at 10 AM
Join our expert PTB guide for a stroll along the waterfront!
Tour participants will learn about the waterfront's importance to the city's efforts to promote itself as the embodiment of the Florida dream and hear stories about the civic visionaries who transformed a working waterfront into one of the country's largest waterfront park systems.
The waterfront is where baseball’s spring training got its start, was the 1914 home to the world’s first airline, the St. Petersburg - Tampa Airboat Co., and the location for the 'Burg's historic Fountain of Youth.
Tour meets at South Straub Park on the small paved plaza on the southeast side of 2nd Ave N and Beach Drive.
Walking tours are $10 for PTB members or $20 for any non-members.
Tour reservations are strongly recommended, space is limited.

Located on a 20-acre wooded park in Largo, Heritage Village is home to more than two dozen historic structures from around the Bay Area, including the 1852 McMullen Cabin and the House of Seven Gables, which was originally constructed in Clearwater in 1907.
For this special Preserve the ‘Burg tour, Heritage Village Executive Director Monica Drake will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the work they do to maintain these historic structures. You’ll hear about recent upgrades to the park and see Heritage Village from a Preservationists’ perspective.
This experience is limited to just 15 guests. Admission includes private tour; proceeds benefit Friends of Heritage Village and Preserve the ‘Burg.
