This 1913 view shows Beach Drive in St. Petersburg, Florida, a street that ran along the waterfront of Tampa Bay and was one of the city's most visible promenades. By 1913 St. Petersburg was marketing itself as a winter resort with mild weather, palm-lined streets, and easy access to the bay by steamer and rail. The photograph captures the kind of tourist-era shoreline that drew visitors from the North, just before the city's pioneering aviation service began in early 1914. Details of the specific scene are not recorded here, so the picture is best read as a snapshot of the town's early resort identity.
