A small coastal community near St. Petersburg

Shore Acres offers people paradise-style living and a secluded location tucked next to Old Tampa Bay. “It’s a community of only about 6,000 houses, which makes it a low-crime area,” says Clay Glover, owner of Glover Real Estate Group, who has selling homes in the area for over a decade. “There are really only two ways in and two ways out since it’s tucked away. Everyone feels safe and secure back in here.” While Shore Acres has no public transportation for commuters, people can utilize the many bike lanes that sit along 40th Avenue, Shore Acres Boulevard, and more local roads. The community hosts many annual and monthly events, which helps push the neighborly feel between residents in this secluded coastal oasis.

Tennis players work up a sweat on the courts at Denver Park while little ones can explore the fenced playground. For indoor recreation, residents visit Shore Acres Recreation Center for amateur basketball games and youth athletic programs. Golfers visit Mangrove Bay and Cypress Links Golf Courses, which are the closest public courses. The Shore Acres Mini Park has an access point to the water, perfect for fishing and kayaking. “People who live on the water have great boating access to Downtown St. Pete,” Glover says. “It’s 10 minutes by water, so a lot of people just lower their boats and go have dinner. You can’t really do that in a lot of other places.” Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grill is one of the few restaurants that people boat to and offers fresh seafood and a premium rum selection.
