Pinellas County is home to sugar sand beaches with crystal-clear water, playgrounds, picnic areas, camping, watersports, and even a historic fort. Â Because of their natural beauty, our beaches are consistently ranked among the best in the country by various travel destination publications and organizations. Â Visitors can stay at first-class resorts, fly over the water in a parasail, build a sandcastle, dig in and play beach volleyball, experience glittering nightlife, or eat at world-class restaurants at one of our many developed beaches, or escape from reality and experience nature at one of our undeveloped beaches.
Unfortunately, finding a reliable, comfortable, and safe means of transportation to and along the Gulf beaches is becoming harder and harder to find. Â This unintended consequence of the immense popularity of the Pinellas County beaches requires a new approach in order to ensure that a positive visitor experience is maintained and the mobility for beach residents is preserved.
