Described by one Florida travel guide as one of the most scenic beach bars in America, Undertow on St. Pete Beach earns that claim with a wide swath of white sand, swaying palms, blue sky views, and the utterly delightful detail of a rubber duck river running around the inside of the tiki-style bar. Frozen cocktails, cold beer, and an atmosphere of pure, giddy vacation energy make this one of the most memorable stops on Gulf Boulevard. The whimsy (those rubber ducks) is perfectly calibrated to remind you that a good beach bar never takes itself too seriously. Come in off the beach, order something frozen, and find your duck.
