Gulf to Bay Boulevard, buses and nearby airports
Some homes may be within walking distance of shops, restaurants and amenities, but some roads in the area aren't pedestrian-friendly. “When you're coming from Tampa to Clearwater Beach, Gulf to Bay Boulevard is the main street,” Petkov says. “It’s a busy road and dangerous to walk there.” There are Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority bus stops along some of the major roads like Drew Street. The drive to St. Pete–Clearwater International Airport takes around 8 miles down the Bayside Bridge, and Tampa International Airport is about 15 miles away on the Courtney Campbell Causeway. The latter offers a shuttle service between the two airports.
