Fact text

  • St. Pete holds a Guinness World Record for the most consecutive days of sunshine, an jaw-dropping 768 days straight between 1967 and 1969.
  • The city averages 361 days of sunshine per year, earning it the nickname "The Sunshine City", which is basically meteorological bragging.
  • Two co-founders literally flipped a coin to name the city, and the winner named it after Saint Petersburg, Russia, the loser got to name a hotel.
  • Locals skip the formality and just call it "the Burg," which honestly sounds like a great nickname for any city.
