Encompassing the cities of St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Belleair, Dunedin, Largo, Oldsmar, Pinellas Park, Safety Harbor, Seminole, Tarpon Springs and of course the world famous Gulf Beaches, Pinellas County lies just to the west of Tampa.

Pinellas forms a peninsula bounded on the west by the Gulf of Mexico and on the south and east by Tampa Bay, forming the second-smallest, but most densely populated county in Florida. Tourism today remains a major industry, with a moderate climate, white sand beaches, and many cultural attractions drawing over five million visitors to Pinellas County per year.

Unique to Pinellas County is the Pinellas Trail. Utilized for walking, jogging, cycling and inline skating, it stretches 38 miles from Tarpon Springs in the north to St. Petersburg in the south, passing through all towns in-between.
