About Tierra Verde
Tierra Verde is an upscale island community connected to the mainland by bridge, sitting at the southern tip of Pinellas County. Fort De Soto Park — consistently ranked among the best beaches in the United States — is minutes away. The community has a strong boating culture, with many homes featuring private docks and direct access to Tampa Bay and the Gulf.
Tierra Verde attracts buyers who want privacy, water access, and proximity to both St. Petersburg and the Gulf beaches without the tourist traffic of the barrier island communities. It is one of the most underappreciated luxury markets in Pinellas County.
