Sunset from Sunset Beach, Fl

After going to Clearwater to take sunset pictures, I wanted to return to the beach the following day. I wanted to go to my favorite local beach, Sunset Beach, located south of Treasure Island. This time I got there earlier to work on my tan, read, relax, and take some pictures. The weather in Florida is now perfect; not too hot or humid. Andre and I got there after 4:00 PM and stayed until the sunset which is now at around 8:00 PM. Parking was a little difficult since there are some schools that are still on spring break. Last month, Budget Travel Magazine picked St Pete beach as the number 1 beach in the US and the 5th worldwide.  Here is the link to the article. I haven't seen a nice hotel room for $84 per night like the article says, but I'm on a mission to find it. I want to go, preferably in low season, and spend a weekend on the beach.

Walking towards our car, we passed by a beach house with the sign below. I had to take a picture of it. 

I didn't want to leave the beach that day. The sky didn't turn into pinks and purples like the day before, but I still enjoyed watching the sun go down one more time. I have blogged about this beach before and I've posted many pictures. If you want to see some older post click here and here.

St Pete Beach is probably my favorite beach in the Tampa Bay area. I always go to Sunset Beach which is north of St Pete Beach because it is easier to find parking. When my sister was visiting last March, she stayed at a hotel in St Pete Beach. These pictures were taken on a week day when we drove after work to have dinner with her.

The landmark of the area is the Don Cesar Hotel. Treasure Island and Madeira Beach are north of St Pete Beach. Sometimes because of the limited parking you can end up in another Beach without even noticing. If you missed the other post and pictures from Sunset Beach you can see them here, here, and here.

In Florida, signs that say "beware of alligator" are every where. I have lived here for 11 years and I still do not accept the fact that you could have an alligator living in your backyard. It has nothing to do with the sunset post but I had to share this. Am I the only one that thinks this is not OK?

Don't go for a swim here

I was out of town every weekend during May. I got to spend a lot of time in the car as a passenger and I took several pictures. Only a few came out decent. We might have killed thousands of love bugs.

I took these pictures a couple of weeks ago when I was on my way to Miami. I was watching the sunset from my window.  I was with the camera in my hand waiting for the announcement to use electronics. I could have gotten better pictures when we just took off, but I don't take the risk of interfering with the communications. 

Leaving Tampa Bay

Maybe AA is interested in buying my picture with miles?

Sunset Sunday @ Tampa Bay

This pictures were taken with my iphone. I was doing my cardio session outside with the dog when the sun started to come down. This is the bay next to the intestate not Bayshore Boulevard. I love walking outside and living next to the water.

Sunset Sunday

These are some of the pictures that I took at one of my best friend's wedding. It was a beautiful place and that it why I decided to add more to the post not just the sunset pictures. This is an hacienda outside of Cali where I wanted to do my wedding. I decided to stay closer to the City to avoid a headache with transportation arrangements. I also found out that recently they stopped organizing any events.
