    We really enjoyed walking a long stretch of this beautiful beach. It definitely lived up to the reputation of Gulf Coast fine white sand beach beauty. So clean, not sure if it is always this clean, or it is the result of hurricane recovery/cleanup efforts.

    Lots of restaurants and hotels along the stretch. A wonderful place to spend a day, or many days to immerse yourself here.

    Beautiful views from the Pier. Only downside is to get all the way to the end, you have to pay a toll in the gift shop. The few dollars is worth it though, as the endless view at the end of the Pier is beautiful, especially at sunset.

    This park is a hidden gem in the Clearwater area. Parking costs are very reasonable. There are plenty of bathrooms which is always a priority. The water here is warm and beautiful. One highlight for us was seeing a number of dolphins leaping out of the water near sunset. It was a breathtaking sight.

    One word of caution…several times while we were playing in the water, we discovered areas where the bottom just disappeared. We were in waist-deep water, then one step later, even my nearly 6ft tall teenage son could not reach the bottom. We all swim so this was not a problem for us, but if you have littles ones or if you are not a particularly strong swimmer, I suggest extra caution at this beach.

    The seagulls had a very strong presence at this beach. They stole bites of my sandwich right out of my hand twice. The second time they appeared to be laughing at me. We definitely were not offering any food to those birds, but it is clear that others have.

    I would love to return to this beach. It is one of my favorites in Florida.

    I went with elderly parents. They conveniently provided a wheelchair (first come first served) but the young people who worked there twice made them walk or stand much longer than needed (probably because management tells them to enforce the rules strictly), yelled to each other while they were napping in a quiet corner, etc. Management might want to give workers more discretion/training for serving the disabled public because if you don’t have experience with the elderly you it’s not intuitive. Otherwise a nice excursion, though expensive. The VIP dolphins was up close and personal, really cool even from a wheelchair and made the visit quite special, but it was hard to hear (again, elderly issue) and super pricey. Food was excellent - menu looks like kids fare but the non-fried food was delicious and fresh and cheaper ordered in advance. Two days before Christmas was not a madhouse and we found a couple of quiet outdoor spaces to sit and relax in shade and sun. Signage is not perfect and layout is confusing but you get a good paper map that works ok with the signs. The boat tour we ended up skipping, but just note it’s like 25 people. The boat is covered from the sun.

    This is one activity that could be an hour, or for many hours. We walked a stretch, went for an early dinner, then came back to watch the glorious sunset. Lots of hotels and restaurants, lounges, cafes, etc etc.

    The finest white sand beach you will find, definitely the jewel of the Golf Coast. There were shower/rinsing stations for public use. Very clean and felt very safe. A lot of people walking around into the evening.

    The best way to travel from Clearwater Beach to see a concert @The Baycare Sound! Beautiful scenic ride.
    The Captain and mate were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area.
    This trip would be even better if the last ferry back to Clearwater Beach left a little later on a concert night.

    Perfect venue for a relaxing Friday night. Matt Frick provided the background music. I had Swamp Juice. A fruit infused yum not too dry or sweet or tart. No reservations were required. Only needed for the full tour and wine tasting experience. That's next for me. Little tricky to find but worth the search.

    Unexpected little tasting that was informative on fruit infused wine. I am not a raspberry fan but tried the chocolate raspberry port. Wonderful!

    Great venue for an up-close-personal feel. I’ll take a small auditorium over a big concert hall anytime. We had the pleasure attending Keb’ Mo’s performance.

    This is a nice well kept mall with a skating rink in the center. However, I have learned that the only coffee shop in the mall, Starbucks is closing. I fear it may not be the only business closing. It is busy on the weekends but during the week there is very little foot traffic. Macy's and Dillard's may be next and they anchor the mall. if they close that will be the end of this mall.

    Very good venue. Saw a comedy show. No coffee either. Well…they did have coffee but I had to seek it out and a cup was four dollars. Ugh. The smell of theater popcorn was a bit nauseating. Staff was friendly and polite but could have used better quality concessions. Parking was free and easy, they also had Valet and it was within close proximity to the venue. Show was very good.
