Waterfront cities don’t just magically rise up out of the ocean, and St. Petersburg is no exception.

A new boat tour designed by Tampa Bay Watch and the St. Petersburg Museum of History promises a relaxing two-hour excursion that explores the “good, the bad, and the funny” sides of the Sunshine City shoreline’s evolution. Expect to hear stories about development, its effect on local ecology, and the people responsible for local landmarks, which tour goers will experience from the water.

“It’s the perfect blend of history, science, and views,” organizers wrote. Bring your own snacks and bevvies, but leave the alcohol at home.

Tickets for Liquid to Land: ‘Discover St. Pete’s Waterfront History'—departing from the Tampa Bay Watch Discovery Center at 700 2nd Ave. NE in St. Pete— on Saturday, Nov. 18 are still available for $45. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
