North Redington Beach lies halfway between the northern and southern tips of the barrier islands and is a very desirable residential community.  It is mainly a town of single family, waterfront homes that occupy four fingers protruding in Boca Ciega Bay.  Along Gulf Boulevard, North Redington Beach offers a variety of housing, along with commercial and recreational opportunities.  These include condominiums, apartments, hotels, motels, fine dining establishments and popular restaurants.  Boating, water sports, and fishing are all popular pastimes for permanent residents, vacationers, and second-home owners who enjoy a waterfront lifestyle.
