Redington Shores - 175th Ave is a saltwater beach in Pinellas County, Florida. Across 36 bacteria samples collected between 2021 and 2024 at nearby monitoring stations, it earns a Beach Safety Grade of C — Fair.
About 11% of samples at Redington Shores - 175th Ave exceeded the EPA Beach Action Value of 235 CFU/100 mL for Escherichia coli — the threshold at which water managers typically post a swimming advisory. In practice that means the safe-swimming limit was sometimes crossed here over the monitored period. Bacteria samples occasionally exceed the safe-swimming threshold — check the latest advisory before swimming.
Read this grade as directional rather than settled: it rests on only 36 samples. That is enough to classify how the water has behaved, but not enough to separate this beach from another a grade away — a beach graded from thousands of samples at several stations is a firmer read. As more results are reported, the grade may shift.
Redington Shores - 175th Ave was not under a swimming advisory in the most recent EPA snapshot. Conditions can change quickly after heavy rain or high runoff, so it's still worth checking the current advisory the day you go.
