Current Beach Updates & Conditions

Important News About Our Beaches & Barrier Islands

On Thursday, September 26, our slice of paradise was impacted in a way we haven’t experienced in more than a century, as Hurricane Helene passed to the west of St. Pete-Clearwater. While parts of our destination were able to resume operation quickly, challenges remain for many of our residents and local businesses, and our picturesque beachfront needs more time to recover. 

Now, less than two weeks later, Hurricane Milton is approaching the Tampa Bay region with expected conditions throughout Pinellas County to include strong Hurricane-force winds, heavy rain, extreme storm surge and flooding.

For up-to-date information on Hurricane Milton from Pinellas County, please visit the Pinellas County Emergency Information page. For those visitors in the region, please see hotels available in non-evacuated zones.

St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport terminal building will close Tuesday afternoon after the last flight departure. All Allegiant flights have been canceled on Wednesday, Oct. 9 and Thursday, Oct. 10.

Tampa International Airport will suspend all commercial and cargo operations beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 8, ahead of Hurricane Milton, with the Airport remaining closed to the public until it can assess any damage after the storm. 

Please contact airline for the latest flight information - airlines are responsible for their schedules.
