Description THE COMMUNITY Located in Pinellas County, on the Gulf Coast, 25 miles west of Tampa, Dunedin (pronounced DONE-EE-DIN) has a small-town feel and atmosphere, yet is a bustling community of over 37,000 residents. One of the oldest towns on the West Coast of Florida, it has a wooded and sub-tropical setting with four miles of picturesque waterfront, a relaxed lifestyle, almost perfect weather, a vibrant economy, and recreational activities for all ages. All of these assets have established its reputation and reference as “Delightful Dunedin.” The community has earned many honors, including being named Florida’s “City of Excellence” for 2009, edging out over 400 other Florida City applicants, by the Florida League of Cities at its annual conference. It was also named in recent years “one of the best places to live on Florida’s West Coast” by Money and Coastal Living magazines, and the most walkable small community in America (2008), by Run The Planet.Com of Seattle, Washington. Nearby destinations within City limits include Honeymoon and Caladesi Islands, part of the Florida park system, which are two of Florida’s natural treasures. Caladesi Island was ranked the #1 Beach in America in 2008, after having been the #2 Beach in America in 2006 and 2007. Only minutes away from the mainland, both Islands offer boating, swimming, fishing, picnics and nature walks. These Islands attract well over 1,000,000 visitors each year.
