Best Dead-End Oasis

In the historic community of Bayview, one of the first settlements in Pinellas County, a 4.5-acre verdant site intersecting hectic Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard and the Bayside Bridge has been preserved as a public recreation park. If you drive down adjacent Bayview Avenue to the far end of the street, you will find the scenic little fishing spot that lives up to the street’s name. A Catholic retreat sits nearby with Stations of the Cross statues and lushly landscaped grounds, all adding to the enchanting beauty of this quiet little spot in busy Clearwater.
