Redington Beach
A small, almost entirely residential beach town of single family homes, where the streets are quiet and the Gulf is at the end of the block.
You bike a few blocks to the beach in the morning, wave to neighbors rebuilding down the street, and grill out on the back porch as the light fades over the bay.
The scorecard
Tap any score for the local's take.
Nightlife1
Almost none in town. It is a residential place, so evenings are porches and sunsets, and anything lively is a short drive to Madeira Beach or North Redington Beach.
Meet people2
Neighbors meet through the small town calendar, like the July 4 Liberty and Libations morning from the Parks and Recreation Board and an Easter egg hunt. Most clubs and leagues are over the bridge in Seminole.
Peace and quiet5
About as quiet as the beach gets. There is very little commercial activity, so beyond construction from storm rebuilding the streets are calm year round.
Walkability2
You can walk or bike to the beach from almost anywhere in town, but there is not much else to walk to. Groceries and dining mean driving.
On the water3
Bay side homes have water access to the Intracoastal, and the Gulf is right there for swimming and surf fishing. Boating is easy, but marinas are in neighboring towns.
Beaches4
A soft, wide Gulf beach shared with the surrounding towns, mostly used by residents and quiet even in season.
Dining and arts1
Little to none in town. You drive a few minutes to North Redington Beach, Madeira Beach or Seminole to eat out.
Outdoors and wellness2
Beach walks, biking quiet streets and paddling the bay are the outdoor life. Bigger parks like Fort De Soto and Sand Key are a drive away.
Affordability2
Expensive. Single family homes near the Gulf trade in the high hundreds of thousands and up, and older homes may need elevation or rebuilding after 2024. Insurance is a big line item.
Airport access4
St. Pete Clearwater (PIE) is about 25 minutes away and Tampa International (TPA) about 40 minutes.
