Former Hippie Shack and Sea Hags building set to be demolished and redeveloped on St. Pete Beach

The project also calls for 180 parking spaces which exceeds the city requirement of 113 spaces.

The former Hippie Shack, which opened in late 2023 and closed less than a year later in June 2024, is not expected to return.

For more than 15 years prior to Hippie Shack, the building was home to Sea Hags Bar and Grill which closed in 2023.

The Conditional Use Permit is expected to go before the St. Pete Beach City Commission later this year.
