Pass-a-Grille, established in 1911, is a community steeped in history, where the past comes alive in every block. The Seahorse embodies this heritage, located in an area once described by Robert Ripley of Believe It or Not! fame as home to “America’s Shortest and Most Beautiful Main Street.”
Although the Seahorse remains temporarily closed due to recent storms, the team is working hard to clean the space and prepare for its next chapter. While navigating the permitting process and finalizing paperwork has been challenging, the owners remain committed to reopening soon.
Excellent food and great service
“Our philosophy has always been to provide excellent food and exceptional service,” the Seahorse team shared. “We can’t wait to serve the community again soon.”
The Seahorse’s resilience mirrors the spirit of Pass-a-Grille itself—a community where history meets individuality, and every storm strengthens the bonds of its people. Stay tuned for updates as the Seahorse works toward reopening its doors, ready to reclaim its place as a treasured part of St. Pete Beach.
