Is Saint Petersburg safe for solo female travelers?

Group travel

I had the experience to travel to St. Petersburg in March 2022. It was my second time visiting Florida, with my first trip being to Key West. I went with a group as apart of the Outdoor Adventure Club at my university. I got a great deal because we drove down and the college gave a discounted price including excursions every day. It was worth every penny! St. Petersburg was a beautiful city, and I had a great time. We stayed at the Dolphin Beach Resort, which was beachfront and had a pool....

I'm a Florida transplant & been here since 1985. 38 countries later, and I still call here home. For a big city, it still feels like community you know by name. Proud of our city and the inclusivity

Some areas are very safe, but it's better to treat it as any normal city in America (i.e. don't walk around alone at night). There are streets that will be deserted at night, and walking alone can feel creepy.

Crime rate is 5/10 in Saint Petersburg. We have a lot of emigrates in south countries. In central areas crime lower, in other - higher. I live here 5 years and I have never been robbed and something like that but I’m a girl and I’m scared about other men especially in the dark.
