As part of the expansion project for TradeWinds Island Resorts, St. Pete Beach now has its first-ever three-story zipline over the sand, plus a brand new Mexican restaurant. The news comes as part of the resort’s announcement that it has finished renovation on an additional 141 rooms, completing the expansion it began last summer.

Bermudas Beachside Cantina is now open for dinner service Thursday-Monday, offering gulf-front views, tasty Mexican eats and craft cocktails and drinks. Starting at 5 pm, Bermudas serves up appetizers, main dishes, desserts and margaritas all night long. Highlights on the menu include queso fundido, ham and cheese croquettes, street tacos, shrimp-stuffed bell peppers, a palomillo sandwich, and churros.

Known for its many unique, family-friendly activities, TradeWinds has also added the new Zing Ray Zip, making them the first-ever St. Pete Beach resort with a three-story, dual-line zipline on the beach. Resort guests can enjoy unlimited rides, soaring through the bright blue Florida sky for a thrilling bird’s eye view of the award-winning beach.

Many more fun-filled amenities will be hitting the beach this summer at TradeWinds, including the Aqua-Bana, a 10-person covered floating cabana complete with a table and a cooler of ice. The resort has also replaced their floating cabanas with a newer king-sized version and has added new components to the popular Floating Water Park, including a new water slide, catapult swing and monkey bar apparatus.

TradeWinds completes expansion, renovating former Alden Suites property

As part of its growth, TradeWinds acquired the neighboring property, formerly Alden Suites, and incorporated it into the RumFish Beach Resort. The expansion brings the RumFish Beach Resort room count to 353, for a total of 899 guest rooms at TradeWinds Island Resorts.

The 141 newly renovated, all-suite guestrooms include Gulf front and resort view villas, as well as seven, two-bedroom villa lanais. Dressed in a stylish palate of whites, grays and navy blues the rooms have been completely updated with new furniture, contemporary flooring, kitchen areas, lighting, new appliances, original fishing-themed artwork, and soft goods to match existing RumFish Beach Resort rooms. The expansion also added two pools, a relaxing covered spa area, and a beachfront bar, which can all be utilized by guests at both TradeWinds properties.

“TradeWinds provides such a unique vacation experience with the two neighboring sister properties directly on St. Pete Beach,” said Bob LaCasse, Managing Director, TradeWinds Island Resorts. “We’re always striving to improve and expand our product to keep it exciting, fresh and memorable for our new and returning guests, which is exactly what we’ve done with the addition of our gorgeous new rooms and the zip line on the beach.”
