Gulfport

Gulfport is a separate city on Boca Ciega Bay in southern Pinellas County. Its waterfront and arts-oriented downtown give it an identity distinct from neighboring St. Petersburg and the Gulf beach towns.

Beach Boulevard is a useful starting point for exploring shops, restaurants and community activity. The wider city extends beyond that central waterfront setting, so a home elsewhere in Gulfport may have a different immediate character.

Compare proximity to downtown with other residential locations around the city. Walk the surroundings of a prospective home and consider the actual route to the waterfront, rather than assuming every Gulfport address offers the same experience.
