Guide to Pinellas County Blueways

Pinellas County has miles of beautiful shoreline, providing paddlers with a variety of opportunities and experiences as they explore the coastline and the rich array of marine and estuarine ecosystems that make up Pinellas County’s waters. We invite paddlers to come and enjoy the placid waters of Tampa Bay and the shores of the Gulf of Mexico.

 

This Guide is designed to provide information on Pinellas County paddling opportunities useful to both residents and visitors. For the purposes of this Guide, the County is divided into sections, making it easier to follow and allowing the reader to pinpoint particular paddling opportunities in a specific geographic area of interest.

Image of WaterwayThe Guide provides detailed information for each designated launch point, as well as information on the paddling trail experience. It is important to emphasize that each paddling opportunity is unique, with unique experiences and varying distances and levels of difficulty. Please plan your route accordingly and take all proper safety precautions before embarking. Have fun and enjoy the Pinellas County blueways!
