The Best of North Redington Beach

The Best of North Redington Beach! North Redington Beach is in the heart of the Pinellas County beach communities, halfway between the northern and southern tips of the barrier islands. North Redington Beach has become one of the area’s most desirable residential communities. It is predominately single family, waterfront homes in the Boca Ciega Bay.

North Redington Beach provides a relaxing escape with its slow and friendly pace. Nearly a mile of beautiful beach slopes gently into the Gulf of Mexico. Although a quieter area, North Redington Beach’s central location means that museums, art galleries and boutiques are not far. You can visit all of the area St. Petersburg & Clearwater Beaches here, or visit us on Pinterest.

North Redington Beach Weather – When to Visit

The best time to visit North Redington Beach is between October and December. During these months, you’ll find low humidity, fewer tourists and many holiday events to experience. However, October and November technically fall within the Atlantic hurricane season, and even though they are not peak hurricane months, you should be aware of the possibility of a storm developing. July, August and September’s frequent rainstorms and January, February and March’s high volume of snowbirds (retirees and part-time residents from the northern U.S.) make summer and winter two seasons to avoid. If viewing wildlife is your main objective, consider visiting in April, May or June when migratory birds, stingrays and sea turtles are commonly spotted. While the area is different every season, North Redington Beach benefits from warm weather year-round.

    There are things I like and don’t like about North Redington Beach. First there are no lifeguards and lots of seaweed. But it’s a great sandy beach! The beach was not too crowded like Clearwater, when I went. There is plenty of room to play in the gulf and sunbathe. And the best is the amazing sunsets!

      You know it really depends on when you go if the seaweed is going to be bad. Hands down it is better than the over crowded Clearwater Beach. I prefer to head down to the first open parking spot past Clearwater Beach. Usually end up at Indian Rocks or Madiera which are my favorites for sure. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to leave me comments.

    In this pandemic de to lock down days last year and now this time is very disadvantage for tourism and travel business in low but at the end we are all are wanting relaxation and enjoyment other than available at home.

    North Redington Beach looks beautiful and the sort of place you would want to visit, especially given that you have broken down everything making planning so easy!  I loved the restaurants listings with how much they are and the menu’s. Something to experience for sure.

    Certainly looking at the hotel pictures, you are spoiled for sure, so choosing a hotel will be a tough decision.  I will look at the reviews for each and then decide. I enjoy reading North Redington Beach Hotels guide.. I will also share the link with friends of ours who go to Florida a lot.

    Fantastic beach review. I spend a lot of time in Clearwater and it’s great to find someone who really knows the area well. You know it so well that you gave me a bunch of cool ideas for next time I’m there.  I’ve never gone to most of these bars and haven’t done many of those activities you presented.

    Thanks for providing such a detailed report and filling my mind with anticipation for the next trip!

    Love,

    Sammy

      Well I live in Clearwater 🙂  And I prefer Indian Rocks, Madeira, and Redington because the atmosphere is so laid back and quaint.  The beaches are less crowded and parking is free if you get there early enough.  Can’t be beat. You need to check out this part of the Suncoast for sure!  Thanks for visiting my North Redington Beach Hotels guide Sammy.

    We have a trip planned in October to go to Clearwater. It looks like we need to take some time to check out Redington Beach for future trips. We live at the beach in South Carolina. Your review of the area reminds me of our smaller beach town here in SC. Thanks for adding this review to your beach destination guide.

      All the beaches I mention along the Suncoast are all easily reachable and not very far.  You can also hop on the trolley and head to different beaches.  October is a great time and the water is still warm.

    North Redington Beach sounds like a great place to visit, especially if you want to see animals.  I love places that are warm.  To me, it just seems more like a vacation than cold places.  I think the dolphin watching would be especially good so I’ll keep that in mind.  Is it a good place to visit with young children?

    Reply
    1. Leahrae (Post author)

      Oh yes, your children will have a ball.  There is plenty to keep them busy.  Make sure to take them on the pirate cruise in Clearwater, and take them to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium.  Thanks for you visit.  I’d be happy to answer any other questions that you have.

    Great  synopsis of beaches to visit and where to stay in this part of Florida. How likely are you to shoot some dolphins on the Clearwater Dolphin-Watching Tour? Which hotel is the most kid friendly for 12 and 8 year old girls? It would be nice to arrange some childcare and take the wife on the Sunset Cruise from Clearwater Beach.

    1. Leahrae (Post author)

      I would definitely stay at the Opal Resort, the Sandpearl Resort, the Wyndham Grand, or Pier House 60.  All are great for families.    You are most likely to see dolphins. They love chasing the motor, so I don’t know if there has ever been a time when I have not seen them while on the boat.   They like to follow Jet Skis too.

    I love going for long walks on the beach, but do not like the crowds, so always prefer a quieter place with less visitors. North Redington beach sounds like a perfect destination for me. I like your description that you will not have the crowds, bustle and impatience of a larger city. I like that you include the best season in which to visit and have warned of the “snowbirds”.

      This is a GREAT area to walk along the beach and not have the crowds.  The Redington beaches and the communities (Redington Shores, North Redington and Redington beach) are all small and very, very laid back with really cool hole-in-the-wall places to eat.

    I am always checking for vacation spots because my sisters and our families live far away from each other and once a year we visit somewhere new to us. North Redington looks like an attractive place for us. Look at those lovely beaches. I could see us spending several hours together on those white sands. What I also find attractive is the quiet place even though there are museums and shops to visit. We all live hustle bustle lives and the calm tropical vacations are good for us. Thank you for this introduction

      It’s not hustle and bustle here, somewhat is on Clearwater Beach.  But none of the other areas.  Pretty laid back.  I’m glad you enjoyed.  There is so much in the area, you’d have a great vacation and never get bored.

    Hi, 

    Such beautiful, amazing places to visit! I love the bright, fresh look of your site. It looks like there are many great things to do, see, and enjoy. Do you have a favorite beach? Hotel? Restaurant? 

    We’ve had a long difficult year due to coronavirus. Photos of blue waters, white sands are refreshing and give me hope for better days ahead. 

    Thanks,

      I live in Clearwater which is always crowded.  So my favorites are Indian Rocks Beach, Madeira Beach, Treasure Island, and the Redington beaches 🙂  I live here so don’t stay in the hotels, but I do have a condo in Treasure Island that I stay at.  Everything is open here, so come enjoy!

      Yes, the amazing sunsets are the best!  True no lifeguards.  You do have to go to Clearwater Beach for that, but always so crowded.  I prefer Indian Rocks or Madeira beach.  The seaweed really depends on the tide and the weather.  Sometimes Clearwater has a lot too.  Thanks for visiting beachtraveldestinations.com Ann.
