Coquina Key Real Estate

Coquina Key

Experience the tranquility and community spirit of Coquina Key, affectionately known as "The Friendly Island," nestled on the southeast side of St. Petersburg. Originally named Lewis Island and Goat Island, the neighborhood rebranded through a community contest in the 1950s during its initial wave of development. Coquina Key boasts a diverse housing landscape, from amenities-rich condominiums and townhouses to detached single-story ranchers and coastal-style multistory homes, each with unique exteriors and landscaping. While quaint eateries and markets are just a bridge away to the west, the neighborhood is served by an all-volunteer association that organizes events, yard sales, and beautification projects. Coquina Key Park, with athletic fields, tennis and pickleball courts, a playground, and a dog park, serves as a hub for community gatherings. Bird Island Observation, on the southern tip, offers a secluded spot to appreciate bird symphonies and observe marine life. Whether enjoying vistas of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge or savoring vibrant sunsets, living on Coquina Key promises a serene island experience.
