Suncoast Beaches With No Swim Advisories

Keith Connors July 31st

Suncoast Beaches With No Swim Advisories. Some Florida counties have had their beaches labeled with “no swim” advisories by the Florida Department of Health. Why and which beaches are they?

As for why, water samples taken at a number of beaches on the Gulf of Mexico have shown potentially unhealthy levels of enterococci bacteria. This can cause various ailments including rashes, infections and other diseases.

Some of the swim advisories beaches are on Tampa Bay, and some are on the Gulf of Mexico. Here is a list of beaches where a “no swim” advisory is in effect. Sources: News Channel 8/Tampa Bay’s 10

    Bayfront Park North
    Coquina Beach North
    Palma Sola South

  • Hillsborough County

    Bahia Beach
    Simmons Park Beach

  • Sarasota County

Paddle For Autism Rocks At Indian Rocks Beach

Paddle For Autism Rocks At Indian Rocks Beach. Sometimes, when you least expect it, a really good plan shows up. Was minding my own business about 5 weeks ago, 1/2 mile off shore in the Gulf Of Mexico on a Paddleboard. Said hello to a man in a Kayak. We chatted and low and behold it was the Fire Chief Jeff Davidson of our Pinellas Suncoast Fire And Rescue District. He told me about his plan to Paddle For Autism at IRB.

Chief Davidson and his team hit the beach early to set up a fantastic day for our Autistic Friends, Neighbors, and Their Families.  One sweet mom was sharing tears of joy watching her child and her brothers and sister tackle the Paddleboard, and  even ride some small waves.  The little girl did not want to get on that board. Then, after a few lessons, she rode a few waves and started yelling AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! After. Every. Ride. LOL till she wore this ole surfer dude out!

Thank you Pinellas Suncoast Fire And Rescue for allowing us to share your amazing love with our Community. Heroes every day. Heroes in every way.
