  Sea turtle nesting

  1 mei – 31 okt

  Loggerheads nest along the Pinellas beaches from May to the end of October, with hatchlings from midsummer. Beachfront lights are shaded or switched off at night for the duration, which is why the sea front goes dim after dark.

  Gulf warm enough to swim

  1 mei – 15 novZee op temperatuur

  The shallow Gulf shelf warms early and holds it late, so the water is comfortable from May into November and bathlike by August. January and February are the two months you would want a wetsuit.

• Risico

  Red tide

  1 aug – 28 feb · meestal

  Blooms drift in most often from late summer into winter, killing fish and putting an irritant in the air that makes the beach unpleasant within minutes. It is patchy and moves with the wind, so the county posts beach-by-beach status daily. Bron ↗
