Its low, level setting occupies the Pinellas Peninsula between the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay, with Clearwater, Largo and St. Petersburg forming the surrounding urban network. Rather than a historic downtown, the community is defined by neighbourhood streets and everyday access to the county’s coastal cities.
