REDINGTON BEACH

2 Chicas Reach the Beach

There’s nothing like listening to the sound of the water crashing on the beach, birds calling out over the water, and Chica 2 running down the beach crunching seashells under her flip flops. Redington Beach is truly the place for quiet.  Shhh Chica 2!

Back to the beach – like all the beaches in Pinellas County, the water is really clear and there is a chance you will see a dolphin swimming close enough to play play touch! 


The creamy white sand makes this a great place to build a sandcastle or other fun sculptures. 

There are also lots of seashells to gather and compare the taking from day to day.  Round that out with fishing, boating, parasailing, or just bird watching and you are going to find the times flying by. 

2 Chicas never get enough of wading in the bathtub temperature water.  Although, Chica 2 frequently gets that creepy feeling when a school of pin fish swims around and in between everything.  
She swears one day she is going to shower and fifty fish will fall from her bathing suit.  

Hopefully she would feel something moving around before she got to the shower.  Tee hee he!

2 Chicas take a Long Walk on a Long Pier
So off on another adventure – Redington has a fishing pier and 2 Chicas feel like fresh fish for dinner.  After paying the $12/person fee, the 2 Chicas set up shop under a shelter at about the halfway point on this 1,200 ft. pier.

Twelve yucky saltwater catfish later, 2 Chicas are tired!  I guess there will be fresh restaurant fish tonight! Thank goodness there were restrooms and a snack bar.  You can bring a cooler and your own bait, but both are available onsite.


Others on the pier had moderate success.  A guy caught a pretty large tarpon and Chica 2 tried to pose conspicuously behind the fish for a picture.  

She probably has it posted on Facebook as her "catch of the day".  Chica 2 is really funny! 

It was an enjoyable day; we met some interesting people and had a good time.  

Beware of the birds!  They have a great racket stealing your bait and snacks while you are distracted fishing!
