Camping under the Stars | Pinellas County Florida | Ft Desoto Park

Sunset at Ft Desoto campground Tierra Verde fl My family takes along weekend every year to go primative – well ok, to me primitive is 3 days without “real estate” and without my laptop however, we did have electricity and running water at Ft DeSoto Park’s popular campground located in the southern most point in Pinellas County – just take Tierra Verde till it ends at the #1 Beach in the US (in 2005).

Hanging in the hammock at Ft Desoto Beach Tierra Verde Florida I joke about being on Survivor and my one luxury item is my hammock that can be thrown up anywhere under the canopy of cabbage palms. The good news is that we actually have 3 so we create a special hangout when we go.

boating popular at ft desoto and tierra verde Ft Desoto Park in Pinellas County offers some of the best Florida camping. You have the largest boat ramp in Pinellas county (8+ ramps) so it’s great for boating, jet skiing and fishing.

kayaking and fishing popular in tierra verde and ft desoto area Then you have easy water access for kayaking and windsurfing and if that’s not enought the Great Florida Birding Trail runs through it so it’s great for birding and their is a fishing pier and amazing beaches.

ft desoto one of top dog parks in united states Now if you have a dog in your life, not to worry, Ft Desoto Park has a Paw Playground and even a rare Dog Beach – the Paw Playground was voted one of the Top 10 in the US in 2006.

We saw incredible sunsets, nature up close and even the racoons think they’re family. At $30–$40/night to camp it’s a real bargain too.

It was a great time and believe it or not the world of Tampa Bay Real Estate was fine and waiting for me when I returned to it on Monday!

It’s an important reminder that we are lucky enough to call Clearwater Florida home and we need to take time to enjoy all the great things it has to offer – like eveyone else – that’s why we live in Tampa Bay – or as we like to call it ~ Paradise!

Sand Key Florida | Eco Friendly and Home to Nature and Nature Lovers

October 13th, 2007 Categories: Clearwater Beach Florida, Green Living, Sand Key Florida, Tampa Beach Living, Waterfront Living

Sand Key Florida 33767

Sand Key is Home to Finest Luxury Oceanfront Condos, home to Beach Wildlife and home to some of the Finest Beaches in the US - it’s up to all of us to work together to sustain and protect all of them for the future.

Did you know that the Sand Key Sand Dunes play a vital role in protecting our Pinellas County Florida Beaches from erosion each year?

Sand Key Sand Dunes are important for 3 main reasons:

They protect waterfront Clearwater homes and businesses and are the first line of defense against storms. They acts as a buffer protecting both property and natural habitats.
They Enhance the Quality of our Life - they are attractive and promote wildlife. Tourism accounts for over $15 Billion a year towards our states economy so good beaches is good for all of us.
They provide a home and habitat for many beach plants and animals.

Sand Key is also part of the Great Florida Bird Trail.

Sand Key Beach is also Home to several Endangered Turtle Nests

In addition, each year from May to October Sand Key and Clearwater Beach is home to several endangered turtle nests.

We saw 2 marked off nests on Sand Key today. It’s important to know not to disturb them. It’s also Illegal to disturb them as seen by the warning sign shown here.

Please do not have lights shining at night anywhere near these nests because turtles instinctively follow the light - which was always “the moon” (prior to beach development) back into the ocean when they hatch, however, we have lost thousands of endangered turtles because now they will follow the lights from signs, patios and the likes into our roadways and away from the ocean -

Please help protect our Endangered Sea Turtles.

Clearwater Beach Florida | Earns Blue Wave Designation for EcoFriendly Clean Beaches

October 11th, 2007 Categories: Clearwater Beach Florida, Green Living, Parks and Recreration, Pinellas County, Tampa Beach Living, Things to do, Waterfront Living

Clearwater Beach Florida | Protecting our Top Beaches

Clean beach council heading Clean Beaches Council is a not-for-profit organization that has been around since 1998 pioneering America’s first environmental certification program for our beach - the Blue Wave Campaign.

The Blue Wave Campaign’s goal is to promote public awareness and a community partnership that involves a voluntary pledge and voluntary participation towards taking care of our beach along with responsible beach management.

In Tampa Bay Florida and especially on Clearwater Beach, tourism is our major industry and plays a vital role to our local economy. We’re not alone, the Clean Beaches Council explains that our United States beaches and coastal areas “offer unique recreation, support maritime commerce and provide jobs for coastal communities. In fact, beach tourism contributes over $640 billion annually to the US Economy (85% of all tourist revenue)”

Tierra verde beach shot faded edges In the last 10 years there have been over 20,000 health advisories issued relating to water quality in the United States and here in the Tampa Bay area we are only too familiar with the additional impacts of storms and new construction on Pinellas County beach erosion. Every year miles of beaches are lost to beach erosion.

We’ve loved living on our beautiful Pinellas Gulf beaches and we’ve also seen many changes over the last 18 years. With more properties on the beaches and more people visiting our beaches it takes even more effort to ensure that we embrace “low impact” living and work to ensure sustainable beaches.

I believe now is the time to commit to working together: Pinellas County government + Our Beach Communities + National Parks + Residents + Tourist to preserve our local economy and more importantly for our kids - YOU and the Blue Wave Campaign can help! In other articles we detailed the:
