A Florida city known for its history and coastal beauty
One of Florida’s oldest inhabited areas, Seminole is a city rich in history and known for its outdoor recreation and proximity to Gulf Coast beaches. The coastal suburb is surrounded by water, including Pinellas County’s second-largest lake and Boca Ciega Bay. The city is named after the Seminole Native American tribe, which inhabited the area as early as the 1700s. The Seminole people experienced a chaotic time throughout the 19th century, with the U.S. military waging three wars against them. Most were forced to move into what is now Oklahoma. Despite these challenges, many resisted and kept their land in Florida. Much of the tribe still lives on reservations in the Greater Seminole Area, which stretches to the southeast. Primarily an agricultural hub, significant development in Seminole didn’t start until the 1940s and ‘50s. The city was incorporated in 1970 and is now home to over 19,000 people. Seminole’s affordability, coastal attractions and quiet, laid-back lifestyle continue to lure newcomers. Sandwiched between St. Pete and Clearwater and less than 25 miles from Tampa, the city also offers access to cultural amenities and major employers. “Here, you’re 5 miles from the beach, you have Intracoastal waterways and ocean views anywhere you go, so if you like sports, have a boat or like living on the water, you have that everywhere,” says Dan Tumarkin, Realtor for Keller Williams Realty. “It’s also a hop, skip and jump to the airport and Tampa. “You don’t have to go very far for anything.” The area’s major employers include Pinellas County Public Schools, HCA Florida Largo, HCA Florida Saint Pete and the VA Bay Pines Hospital.

Waterfront parks and Gulf Coast beaches less than 4 miles away
Outdoor recreation is Seminole’s biggest draw, as the city is surrounded by Lake Seminole, two bayous and Boca Ciega Bay, feeding into the Gulf waters. The 700-acre lake nearly splits the city in half and is a popular spot for boating and fishing. Seminole Lake Park sits on the lake’s eastern shores and offers hiking, boating and many picnic areas. The waterfront Boca Ciega Millennium Park is its biggest outdoor attraction, with an observation tower overlooking the bay, boardwalks and boat launches. It’s also a stop on the Great Florida Birding Trail. The 75-mile Pinellas Trail cuts through Seminole and is a favorite for joggers and cyclists, stretching from Tarpon Spring to St. Pete and connecting multiple communities. Proximity to beaches is also part of the city’s appeal. Redington Beach and Redington Shores are about 4 miles west. St. Pete Beach is approximately 9 miles away.

Diverse locally owned dining and Treasure Island Fun center
Shopping and dining options are clustered along Park and Seminole boulevards. Seminole is heavily focused on shopping locally, and most restaurants and stores are family-owned. Its cuisine spans Thai, Alabama-style barbecue to Mexican and fresh seafood joints. Seminole City Center is its biggest shopping plaza, with big box stores and a movie theater. “For date nights or fancier dinners out, most residents will head to Seminole City Center,” says Tumarkin. Most nightlife is along Highway 19, but those looking for more variety can reach Downtown St. Pete in about 12 miles. Treasure Island Fun Center has been a staple since 1967, with arcade games and children’s rides.
