Tierra Verde Florida

In the little commercial area of Tierra Verde, I came upon Billy’s Stone Crab Restaurant, which I had heard of. It was too soon after breakfast to eat anything, but I went up to the rooftop bar for a coke and to check out the view. The little island behind the restaurant is being subdivided by developers, but the housing crisis has resulted in few buyers.

Tierra Verde is a little island in the bay between Pass-A-Grille and the mainland of St. Petersburg. It is primarily residential, but there are some spectacular secluded coves and inlets.
