Declared the healthiest place in the U.S. in 1885, it wasted no time in wooing the recuperating and the retired, at one point putting 5,000 green benches on its streets to take the weight off elderly legs. Although it remains a mecca for the retired, St. Petersburg has worked hard to attract young blood. In addition to rejuvenating the pier, which now offers something for every age, its diverse selection of museums and plethora of art galleries has contributed to its emergence as one of Florida's richest cultural cities. The town has acquired a major collection of works by Salvador Dali, making St. Petersburg a good option if you are looking for a break from the beaches nine miles west on the Gulf Coast.
