The Beaches of Pinellas

 

Spanning the Gulf Boulevard corridor, from Clearwater in the north to St. Pete Beach in the south, eleven barrier island communities provide a combined 35 miles of beachfront, serving as the premiere tourism corridor in Pinellas County. Each community has its own character, ranging from intensive, tourist-oriented development, to traditionally-styled beach villages, to quiet neighborhoods of estate homes. Most of the area is tourist-oriented, with commercial, recreational and multifamily uses intermixed with single-family residential neighborhoods.
