The St. Pete Beach cap, for the town that has a Pink Palace sailors can see for miles. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the St. Pete Beach vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in white thread.

The cap is the easiest St. Pete Beach piece to wear every day and the easiest to give: one size, breathable cotton, a curved visor and an antique-brass buckle. It softens with wear and stays on the hook by the door. Order one for the beach bag and one for the glovebox.

Low-profile and unstructured, this 6-panel embroidered dad cap has a Permacurv visor, a self-fabric hideaway strap with antique-brass buckle, a matching undervisor, and four-row visor stitching for durability. Breathable 100% cotton in every color except the camo variation, which is 65% polyester / 35% cotton. The classic embroidered finish is durable and vintage-inspired. Embroidery is thread, not ink, so slight differences from the digital product image are normal; full details are explained in our Embroidery footer.

Zephaniah Phillips homesteaded Pass-a-Grille in 1886, on a Long Key where Spanish fishermen had camped since the 1700s. In January 1928 Thomas Rowe opened the eight-story Mediterranean Revival Don CeSar, the Pink Palace, named for the hero of an opera; the Yankees trained there in 1931 and the Army made it a hospital in 1942.

The four towns of Long Key merged as St. Petersburg Beach on July 9, 1957, and shortened the name on April 19, 1994. Seven miles of white Gulf sand run from the Pass-a-Grille Historic District to the pink silhouette that mariners still steer by. That Old Florida shore is the mark on this piece.

Why People Visit St Pete Beach Florida

St. Pete Beach is Old-Florida Gulf-beach heritage at its most genuine: the oldest beach resort community on the west coast at Pass-a-Grille, the 1928 Pink Palace landmark, seven miles of sugar sand on Long Key, the historic-cottage streets and "shortest main street," Fort De Soto just south, and a sunset that turns the whole beach pink. It blends wide easygoing Gulf time with real history and nearby nature — sand, shells, fishing, and the long pink hour. From the 1783 Rancho de Juaquin fishing camp and the 1886 homestead to the 1957 merger of four beach towns, history and everyday beach culture sit side by side. Sugar sand. Old-Florida pink. The first beach on the coast.
