Welcome to Saint Petersburg Pier! This is a landmark pleasure pier extending into Tampa Bay from downtown St. Petersburg, Florida, United States. Over the years several different structures have been built at the same location. The most recent structure, the third owned by the city, was a five-story inverted pyramid-shaped building, designed by St. Petersburg architect William B. Harvard, Sr. That Inverted Pyramid Pier was closed in 2013, and the new 26-acre Pier District opened on July 6, 2020. The $92 million dollar project includes five restaurants, a playground, an environmental education center ran by Tampa Bay Watch, and numerous artworks including work by Xenobia Bailey, Nathan Mabry, Nick Ervinck, and a large sculpture entitled Bending Arc by Janet Echelman.Tampa Bay Watch (TBW) is a local non-profit dedicated to fostering a healthy Tampa Bay watershed through community-driven restoration projects, education programs, and outreach initiatives. They also have Diamondback Terrapin Turtles in there which are now some of my favorite animals (pictured on this geocache posting).
The coordiantes for this cache are at the back side of the Tampa Bay Watch Discovery Center. Be aware of muggles passing by very frequently. BYOP. Please replace in the spot you found it.
