Around Town

The beach. It's the closest thing to going to school on an island.

What is there not to do for fun you have the beach right in front of your college!!.

Just about anything you would want to do at a resort or at camp is available either on campus, or nearby. From climbing the Rock Wall, to playing sports, sailing, kayaking, scuba, or just hanging on the beach, we have it. You can even study for your finals by the beach, in a hammock.

There are so many things to do for fun. Eckerd has the waterfront which offers paddle boarding, kayaking, and signing up for fun sail boat excisions. The Eckerd campus is also located near St. Pete beach which is beautiful and lined with delicious restaurants. Being near downtown also provides students with a city life.

This school is endless fun. We have a pool which is awesome in the Florida weather. We have our own beach. A large field where everyone has picnics and plays games on the weekends. We have kayaks and paddle boards available to rent FOR FREE!! There are parties every now and then. The school plays movies in the auditorium (free as well). We always have something to do!

At my college, there are many opportunities for fun. However, the most unique is the waterfront. They have their own docks with sailboats, kayaks, and paddle boards that students can rent out for free. They also have free wake boarding trips every Sunday, and the occasional sunset cruise. It's a fantastic way to get students out, about, and on the water!

Eckerd has numberless amount of clubs to participate in, sand volleyball courts, a beautiful private campus beach, docks for fishing, a swimming pool, fitness center, the waterfront were you can take boats, kayaks and paddle boards out into the bay and a large multi-purpose field located near the beach. Eckerd College is also only a couple miles away from Treasure Island and down town St. Petersburg.

They have their own personal beach there with real nice sand. They are not far from downtown St. Petersburg with has a moderate amount of night life. They also provide shuttles even free tickets to events.

Eckerd offers many activities, ranging from student government to watersports (being on the bay front and adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico).

Go to the beach, ride yellow bikes, play soccer or any kind of sport really, watch movies, attend one of the many campus events.
