Latest reviews on Pinellas county's beaches

Clearwater Beach
10 Liam Andersson

This beach is absolutely stunning! The sand is soft, there are plenty of shells, and we even saw dolphins, sunsets, and rainbows. We visited on a weekend and it wasn't overly crowded. Although it can get busy during the hot summer months, there are nearby attractions like an aquarium and fantastic hotels with restaurants. Plus, if it gets chilly in the evenings, there are plenty of places to escape to.

Archibald Beach
8 Laith Anderson

This beach was pleasant and well-maintained. It had a decent number of visitors, but not an overwhelming crowd. The people there were considerate towards one another. When we visited in early June, there was a significant amount of kelp.

Treasure Island Beach
10 Alyssa Renner.

This beach is a true gem for sunset admirers! The tranquil azure waters provide a perfect escape for unwinding in the briny atmosphere. Unlike the crowded touristy beaches to the north and south, this beach has a more intimate, local vibe.

Sand Key Beach
10 Lena Marlowe

We had an incredible time at the beach! The facilities were impeccable with pristine restrooms and changing rooms. The outdoor shower was a refreshing touch. The beach and water were just what we were hoping for - not too crowded and absolutely perfect. It was an amazing day spent with our loved ones!

Madeira Beach
10 Kieran Hart

There's a fantastic beach close to shopping areas with plenty of parking available. Just keep in mind that parking costs $3.75 per hour.

Saint Pete beach
10 Nia Justice

While St. Pete may be better known for its Pier and other attractions, its beach is no less stunning than those of Siesta Key and Clearwater. In fact, those seeking a more peaceful and secluded beach experience may find St. Pete to be the perfect destination. My visit on New Year's Eve was made all the more memorable by the spectacular fireworks display, which I am excited to share through some beautiful photographs.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 6 beaches in the county, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the county is August - air temperature during this time warms up to 30°C and water up to 31°C. The coldest month is January - air temperature drops to 18.2°C and water to 16.9°C.
