Luxury Real Estate in Shore Acres, St. Petersburg, Florida

Shore Acres is a waterfront neighborhood in northeast St. Petersburg, Pinellas County, bordering Coffee Pot Bayou to the north and west. The neighborhood’s canal system connects to Coffee Pot Bayou and from there to Tampa Bay, providing boating access for estate owners throughout Shore Acres. The proximity to the Old Northeast — one of St. Petersburg’s most beloved historic residential neighborhoods — and to downtown’s museum district and restaurant corridor gives Shore Acres an urban-adjacent quality unusual in a waterfront community.
Coffee Pot Bayou and Canal Access
Coffee Pot Bayou is a protected tidal bayou in northeast St. Petersburg, part of Tampa Bay’s complex estuarine system. Shore Acres’ canal network connects to Coffee Pot Bayou, which opens to Tampa Bay directly. The route from a Shore Acres canal dock to open Tampa Bay takes 15-to-20 minutes, navigating past the bayou’s mangrove-fringed shorelines and through the Coffee Pot Bayou bridge — a low-clearance structure that limits access to vessels with air drafts under approximately 13 feet.
