The Redington Fishing Pier at Sunset - come enjoy paradise
The Redington area is primarily residential and includes three separate towns:
Redington Beach: Traveling North on Gulf Blvd. from Madeira Beach, you first enter the town of Redington Beach, which extends from 155th Avenue to 164th Avenue.
North Redington Beach: Just North of Redington Beach, you enter North Redington Beach, which extends from 164th Avenue to 173rd Avenue.
Redington Shores: The town of Redington Shores extends 174th Avenue to 183rd Avenue. In 2000, the city of Redington Shores added a beautiful new town hall, easily recognized as that "grey building with the green roof," located at 17425 Gulf Boulevard, almost directly across from the Redington Fishing Pier.
The Redington area was formed in the early 1930s when Charles Ezra Redington purchased the land from David Welch, who at the time owned most of the land from John's Pass to Indian Rocks Beach. In 1935, Redington built his first permanent residence in what is now Redington Beach. Even though every piece of land has now been developed, it was not long ago that nothing was there!
The most visible landmark in the Redington area is the Redington Fishing Pier (picture above), located on Gulf Blvd at 175th Avenue in Redington Shores. Whether you are a fisherman or just want a great view of one of our beautiful sunsets, visit the Redington Pier (nominal admission).
Although primarily residential, the Redington area has several fine restaurants, including The Wine Cellar, The Lobster Pot and Shells Seafood Restaurant.
