Score

Medium Risk

Public records show seven inspections at Salty's Beach Bar stretching back to 2023. On Apr 14, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around six violations to closer to four violations per visit over the last few inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “nonfood-contact surface soiled with grease” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.

Compared to other St. Pete Beach restaurants (averaging 76), there's room to close the gap. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
