About Safety Harbor
Safety Harbor is a historic spa town on the western shore of Tampa Bay — one of the most charming and underrated communities in Pinellas County. The Safety Harbor Spa and Resort is the landmark, and the walkable Main Street has a genuine arts-and-culture identity that sets it apart from most suburban communities.
The community sits on the bay rather than the Gulf, which means waterfront views without the flood insurance premiums of the barrier islands. Buyers who discover Safety Harbor tend to stay — the combination of historic character, walkability, and value is hard to find anywhere else in the Tampa Bay area.
