Neighborhood Spotlight: Why We Love Tierra Verde, Florida

Located at the Southernmost tip of Pinellas County just over the Pinellas Bayway Bridge, you'll find the tropical island paradise of Tierra Verde. This award-winning beach town is most celebrated for its gorgeous waterfront views, an abundance of watersport opportunities, like kayaking, boating & fishing, and for its resort-style luxury living!

With convenient access to Tampa Bay, the Gulf of Mexico, and no fixed bridges for sailing, Tierra Verde is truly a boater's paradise! Sailboat enthusiasts love the deep-water, protected canals, and anglers will love the quick and easy commute to some of Tampa Bay's best fishing spots! This boating and fishing paradise also serves as the gateway to one of Pinellas County's largest parks, Ft. DeSoto County Park. Here you'll find a long list of activities to enjoy, including a 6.8-mile-long paved recreational trail, 3 MILES of white sandy beaches, a dog beach, 2 fishing piers, and a prevalent camping ground! Kids will love swimming out to the sandbar, and on the clearest days, it's not uncommon to see a pod of dolphins or manatees enjoying the crystal clear blue waters.

Locals love Tierra Verde for its perfect mix of nature, plus convenience to popular places such as St. Pete Beach & access to major highways (think I-275, which makes Downtown St. Pete a quick drive up the highway). St. Pete Beach and Pass-a-Grille are approximately a 7 to 10-minute drive West, while I-275 is a short 8-minute drive to the East. Downtown St. Pete is a mere 15-minute drive, and you can be at Tampa International Airport in just 33-minutes. Did someone say, location, location, location?

If a long day lounging on the boat or nearby beaches is making you hungry, good eats can be found at Island Grille and Raw Bar, Tony & Nello's Southern Italian Cuisine, and Billy's Stone Crab. Locals love the casual ambiance of these restaurants, outdoor seating areas, friendly service, and the small-town feel you'll get when you run into your neighbors or paddling buddies.
