The Tampa Bay Beaches Chamber of Commerce, also known as the Gulf Beaches Chamber, is one of the largest chambers in the Tampa Bay area. We primarily serve all of the gulf beach communities in Pinellas County, from Sand Key to Tierra Verde. Every day we strive to connect our members, educate our members, and advocate for our members.
We were originally established in 1958 as the St. Pete Beach Chamber of Commerce. Then, in 1989, multiple chambers along the beaches decided to condense into one, forming the Gulf Beaches of Tampa Bay Chamber of Commerce. Eight years later in 1997, the decision was made to shorten our name to the Tampa Bay Beaches Chamber that we proudly serve you as today.
