PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. — The Florida Department of Health in Pinellas County (DOH-Pinellas) has lifted the public health advisory for beaches after the latest water quality test.
DOH-Pinellas said the advisory placed on Clearwater Beach near Mandalay Park, Sand Key County Beach, and Indian Rocks Beach has been lifted after tests conducted on May 15 showed acceptable levels of enterococci bacteria at all three beaches.

“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
