Lake Seminole Park is a beautiful that is located on the east side of Lake Seminole in Pinellas Co…read more The entrance is on the north side of Park Ave. Parking is mostly free. In the lot where there's the boat launch, you have to pay. The parking is free everywhere else. There's a 2 mile walking/biking trail with some beautiful views. The trail is very heavily forested and can be a little humid because there aren't too many breezes along the way. We did the one mile loop and had a great time. The park was immaculate. We were there on a weekday and the park was pretty crowded. So, I would imagine that it can get really crowded on the weekends. Be sure to check out the big swing along the trail. It was great!

Surprise!! There's more to see and do while visiting Indian Rocks Beach than just the BEAUTIFUL…read morebeach itself... Our wonderful Airbnb recommended a visit to this nearby nature preserve (walking distance from where we stayed...) and it was a GREAT for a mid-morning stroll (should have gone at sunrise, but VACATION!!) The park looks small-ish from the main road, but venture in and check out the beautiful boardwalk that will have you "up close and personal" with the mangroves, lots of informative signs about the "residents" of this preserve, and if you're luckier than we were, apparently lots of birds and other creatures. The trail is not incredibly well-marked, but it's short enough that even a wrong turn or two won't leave you hopelessly lost. Clean, scenic, COOL in the shade, and definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!! Enjoy!!

Fun little detour to see the water up close and walk among the mangroves. Perfect for a short walk…read moreand bird watching. Well maintained with several trash cans and benches. There is also a kayak launch and playground towards the back as well as a dog park in the front. It says no dogs on the boardwalk but I saw several on the way to the dog park cutting through here. Oh and bring bug spray in the summer!

When you have a dog it can be hard to find a beach to take them to and spend time not worrying…read moreabout other dogs or keeping them on a tight leash or just enjoying yourself, but I think we found the perfect spot for any dog that loves the water! This area is actually across the parking lot from the boat ramp, but it has its own parking meter (with plenty of parking) and ramp to get onto the sand! You'll know you're in the right area when you see the boat that has been brought ashore by the hurricanes. The actual boat ramp has plenty of parking, fish cleaning stations, areas to fish, and a public restroom! I highly suggest checking this place out because it has plenty of space and greenery to separate any other animals that may also be there! It does say on the sign that dog have to stay leashed, but we were able to let our dog run free because no one else was there for the majority of the time. We did see 3 other dogs for brief moments while we played with a ball and seashells! If you do come I highly recommend an extra long lead for you dog so you don't have to keep them closer but so they can play freely! It is also a great place to get on a paddle board or kayak as you can just walk right up to the water and it's clear enough to put your board in and stand/sit on it! Overall I believe this is a hidden gem that I'd love to keep that way, but I'd love my fellow yelpers to also have a place to go!

If you need a great place to launch your boat into the Intercostal Waterway, the Belleair Causeway…read moreBoat Ramp Park is an ideal location. It's located at 3900 W. Bay Dr., just off Belleair Bluffs. This Pinellas County public park has 24 hour access with 108 boat trailer parking spaces, 98 car parking spaces, a fishing pier, five courtesy docks and 10 boat launches. There's also Belleair Bait & Tackle Co. for any sundries that you may need, a fishing pier, restrooms and a dog park/beach. The dog beach is along the south side of the park which is a hold over from before this park was last developed. FYI, your dog needs to be on a leash. Overall, this is a large public boat launch that's: 1) In an ideal location, 2) Clean and well kept, and 3) An awesome place just to hang out and fish or walk your pooch.
