Visitors can expect calm, clear waters and a relaxed pace in North Redington Beach and Redington Shores. Stay at a beachfront condo or hotel for easy access to the sand and memorable sunsets each night.
North Redington Beach & Redington Shores
Tucked between Madeira Beach and Indian Shores, North Redington Beach and Redington Shores are about as under-the-radar as it gets. The two beach communities make up over a mile of broad beachfront flanked by gorgeous emerald Gulf waters. While the beaches here never really draw crowds (despite their natural beauty), these towns are home to some great restaurants and cafes.
Beach Day
You could spend hours watching dolphins and seabirds in these quiet beach towns (though the people-watching might be sparse). Beaches here are great for extra-long walks, since the shoreline goes on for miles, connecting to other communities. .
Not staying right on the beach (or just exploring the area for the day)? No problem. There are beach parking spots, namely between 181st and 182nd avenues on the Intracoastal side (see more places to park on the beach).

Where to Eat
For a taste of the Florida Keys and the Caribbean, stop in at Conch Republic, where you’ll find dishes such as mussels diablo, fried conch served with remoulade, and Key West shrimp and grits. The drink menu here is incredibly extensive, but rum is undeniably the main event (choose from dozens of Caribbean rums, served by the glass or in flights). Finish your meal with a grand finale by ordering the Bananas Foster – they really make a show of it here.
Places to Stay
You’ll find a handful of small hotels, such as the charming, 1950s-era Sand Vista Motel, where you can drop a fishing line right into Boca Ciega Bay. For a familiar name featuring all the amenities, book a stay at DoubleTree Beach Resort by Hilton.
