Postcard Inn on the Beach is a nice little hotel I've discovered in my forays along St. Petersburg Beaches. I pick this location because there is not a ton of traffic and its simply a beautiful location. The hotel is U shaped with a nice courtyard used for weddings and a pool area plus bar right at the start of the Beach. The place does have a party atmosphere. On the beach are some oats which make a great background, some sand dunes and finally the beach itself. It offers quite a bit of variety for a beach session.
