Almost completely surrounded by water, the Pinellas county area features an impressive 587 miles of coastline and another 35 miles of barrier islands. Residents and tourists alike can enjoy resort-style hotels, shopping, kayaking, camping, and watersports or bravely venture into the ocean for deep sea fishing or reef diving adventures. Inlet to the mainland, Pinellas County also has numerous cultural parks, nature reserves, and bike trails perfect for nature lovers. Keep an eye out for an impressive array of plant and animal life all around you as you can likely see sea turtles, great blue herons, alligators, and wild turkeys all in the same day! There are five bridges to get to mainland, which is spread throughout the peninsula, sometimes causing traffic during rush hour. The Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) is the main mode of public transportation with far-reaching route lines and access to the direct trains in the Tampa’s HartLine. The main two airports are St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport and Tampa International Airport, though Tampa international tends to offer more affordable flights.

Pinellas County is an obviously attractive location for tourists and seniors alike. A little over 23% of county residents are over the age of 65 with a median income of $41,849 a year. Although the cost of assisted living in Florida is impressively lower than the national average, assisted living costs actually range from $2,100 - $4,800 depending on location and quality of care. The Florida government has created a series of programs designed to help seniors afford assisted living, such as the Optional State Supplement, Community Care for the Elderly, and Local Services program. Florida is also known as a very tax-friendly state for retirees by not requiring taxes on social security income, IRA withdrawals, or pension income (public or private). Pinellas does have a higher crime rate than the national average, primarily in areas with high tourism. Whether you are looking for beach-front views or adventures into the famous Florida wilderness, there is seeming nothing you can’t do when you choose to retire in Pinellas!
