St. Peters Landing

A popular tourist attraction in St Peters is the shops at St Peters landing, which were opened in 2005 after a major dredging and restructuring project surrounding the bay and the bridge. Today this reclaimed land constitutes a locale for summer shops and businesses, including The Phoenix: Antiques and Oddities, the St Peters Model Ship Museum, DJs Dairy Bar, and several more.
