Redington Shores Beaches

  Redington Long Pier

Redington Shores, North Redington Beach, and Redington Beach are three adjacent beach towns on Sand Key, in Pinellas County, Florida. Each community has about a mile of beachfront. North Redington and Redington have the most upscale appearance and, for now, the most condominiums. There are just too many condominiums in these towns. Redington Beach provides no public beach access. North Redington has a few beach access trails but no parking other than parallel street parking. Redington Shores does have a fairly nice public beach access, and still has a few mom & pop motels and shops, but I don't know how much longer they can hang on in the face of rising property taxes and insurance. The Redington Long Pier, built in 1962, and pictured above right, stretches over 1,000 feet into the Gulf and has been extremely popular with residents and visitors for decades.

Redington Shores Public Beach Access

The Redington Shores Beach Access has restroom facilities and a paved parking lot (metered) and is nicely landscaped. It's an attractive facility.
This is a view from the public access looking south toward the Redington Long Pier.
The Redington Shores public beach has this odd breakwater which is roped off for safety. What were they thinking when they created this?

North Redington Beaches

The view from North Redington Beach, looking north toward Redington Shores and the Redington Long Pier. Did I get enough "Redington's in that last sentence?
North Redington Beach, with its very modern stuccoed beachfront condos looking so neat and up-to-date.

Grand entrance to the Redington Long Pier, which was closed  until the local politicians, engineers, and the pier owner figure out if the pier is safe. (Update: the pier was reopened after four days.

Here is the article about the closure:Redington Long Pier Closed (declared unsafe)

 

 
Another nice view of the Redington Long Pier.

The clouds were really fluffy and low on this particular day. The beachfront condominiums seemed nearly empty on this breezy, muggy summer afternoon. Very few people were on the beach. Not a problem for BeachHunter.

North Redington Beach is quite nicely maintained and everything looks nearly new and upscale. There is free parallel parking along the main road. There are several inconspicuously marked trails to the beach.
   

Redington Beach

Redington Beach is located between Madeira Beach and North Redington Beach and has about one mile of beachfront. The shore is lined with condominiums and luxury beach homes. Sorry I don't have any photos of the beach there, but alas, there is no public access or parking that I could find. I'll have to try again one day when I feel like walking a longer distance. Since there is no public access, I would speculate that the beach is very quiet here. If you can rent a condo on Redington Beach you'll likely have a very quiet vacation.
