Clam Bayou is where salt marsh meets city energy, offering an everyday connection to nature with quick access to urban conveniences. On the southwest edge of St. Petersburg and steps from Gulfport, the neighborhood revolves around the mangrove-lined waters of the Clam Bayou Nature Preserve. Locals launch kayaks at first light, watch roseate spoonbills sweep the shallows, and cruise the Skyway Trail, which links into the county-spanning Pinellas Trail. Sunset paddles, weekend birding, and family bike rides are part of the rhythm here.
Daily needs are close at hand, from the marinas and markets of the Skyway Marina District to Gulfport’s waterfront cafés and art walks. Families appreciate options in Pinellas County Schools; Gulfport Elementary serves nearby blocks, while teens can tap programs at Boca Ciega High School. Community centers, pocket parks, and boat ramps make it easy to fill afternoons without leaving the neighborhood.
Housing ranges from mid-century homes to waterside properties, with nearby enclaves like Maximo Moorings adding marina-side amenities. Whether you’re seeking a quieter, eco-focused lifestyle or a launchpad for beach days and downtown nights, Clam Bayou makes outdoor living feel effortless while keeping you connected to the best of the city.
