Redington Beach is a small town on a barrier island in Pinellas County, Florida, fronting the Gulf of Mexico west of St. Petersburg and within the Tampa Bay region. The town was established in 1944 and incorporated in 1945, and it has remained a compact, primarily residential beach community ever since. Today it comprises roughly 1,000 households and a population of about 1,400, making it one of the more intimate municipalities along the chain of Pinellas County's Gulf barrier islands. The town's geography is simple and defining. Bounded by the Gulf of Mexico on the west and the Intracoastal Waterway on the east, Redington Beach sits on the narrow strip of land that separates the open Gulf from the mainland. Gulf Boulevard, the barrier island's main road, runs the length of the community, linking it to the neighboring beach towns to the north and south. This setting puts the beach at the center of daily life, from swimming and shelling to boating and fishing on the bayside waterways. Redington Beach is deliberately low-key. Unlike some of the area's larger, more commercialized beach municipalities, the town remains overwhelmingly residential, with no major tourist or commercial core. Residents value the quiet, and the community's small scale reinforces its neighborhood feel. Services and amenities come from nearby St. Petersburg and the broader Tampa Bay area, a short drive across the causeway. For those seeking a quiet, owner-occupied beach community with direct Gulf access, Redington Beach offers a relaxed coastal lifestyle removed from the crowds, while remaining close to the region's larger cities and attractions.
