Fun Things to do on Water in Tampa Bay’s Bluest Backyards
I was driving the other day from Pinellas County, heading over the Gandy Bridge and Tampa Bay to South Tampa when I was reminded of one of my favorite past times – paddling.
No I’m not talking about “paddling” as in spanking, though I must say I received a few of those in my youth. Paddling is what locals call “kayaking” around here in the Clearwater Florida area. Pinellas County is actually surrounded on three sides by water (the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay) which is why we are blessed with so many blue backyards and so kayaking is one of the popular ways of sightseeing or even flats fishing when you’re looking for a relaxing eco-friendly day – now that’s my kind of Green Living.
So what jogged my memories? Seeing Dave Camp and the guys from Sweetwater Kayaks helping some local kayakers put in to the mangroves along the side of the road and off into the waters of Tampa Bay. I have to confess I was even running a little late to a friends wedding and couldn’t resist quickly pulling off the side of the road for a few shots and a quick video interview 
. I’m always excited to be able to bring great info back to the readers of Sandbars to Sunsets. Here is the interview with lots of good info on kayaking around Clearwater | Saint Petersburg | Tampa Bay…

So have you had a good paddling lately? If so, what’s your favorite place to kayak?

Clearwater Beach Florida | 7 Simple Things Keep our Gulf Beaches Clean and Green
August 22nd, 2007 Categories: Clearwater Beach Florida, Green Living, Parks and Recreration, Tampa Beach Living, Things to do
Clearwater Beach Florida | Promoting Clean Beaches in Pinellas County
Recently I wrote an article explaining that Pinellas County Florida is home to some of the Best Beaches in the United States and it got my thinking - what can we do to keep them this way!
Clearwater Area Clean Beaches | How do we keep them that way?
Pinellas County and the City of Clearwater had done their part to set a plan and process in place to help keep our Beaches Clean by embracing the Clean Beaches Council’s Blue Wave Designation, now we need to pitch in and do our part.
7 Easy Things You Can do Keep our Pinellas County Gulf Beaches Clean & Healthy
1) Just like you learned in Scouts - Leave no Trace behind - if you brought it with you take it out or throw it away;
2) Use the Public Restrooms - this helps keep our water quality good and clean;
3) Stay on the trails and off the sand dunes - the sea grass and ground cover on the dunes is an important part of preventing erosion of our beaches. Clearwater provides many pubic beach access places for this reason;
4) Use the showers and wash off before entering the beaches - again keeping our water quality high;
5) Respect the wildlife and habitat - everything has a purpose and supports part of the beaches life eco-cycle;
6) We have many dog friendly beaches in Pinellas County - remember to do your part and pick up after your pet and keep our beaches sanitary;
7) Participate in different ways like our periodic Beach Clean Up days and more. Consider challenging the kids to see who can pick up the most trash before you leave the beach.
- inspired by the Clean Beaches Council - a non-profit committed to sustaining our beaches through public awareness and community involvement.
