This is our retro St Pete Beach, Florida logo, printed in weathered charcoal on a retro vintage washed cap — an unstructured cotton dad hat that looks broken in from the day it arrives. The charcoal carries a faint wavering tone and a light speckle, so the print reads like it has been in the sun as long as the cap has.

One size fits most, so it is an easy gift to get right: no size to guess, only the town. Each cap is made to order. Hand wash cold and air dry, and keep it out of the dryer.

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.

The cap is 8.5 oz 100% cotton twill, enzyme washed and heavily brushed for a soft hand, with an unstructured six-panel crown, a mid-profile fit and a curved bill. A self-fabric strapback with a metal slider adjusts the fit and tucks away, and a self-fabric sweatband lines the inside. It is garment dyed with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes, so every cap's color varies slightly — washed here means faded color and a weathered print, not distressed or frayed.

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.
