Here are some of the great eats in beautiful Clearwater. Enjoy!
Frenchy’s Café
Opened in 1981, serving the freshest fish you can find, Mike Preston worked and learned the restaurant business for eight years before opening his location. Do not leave without trying their well-known Grouper sandwich, and if you are lucky, you might be in town for stone crab season!
Jimmy’s Crows Nest
Located on Clearwater Beach, Jimmy’s Crow is a fantastic place to spend watching the sunset. If you are lucky to be at the bar during that time, they offer a complimentary sunset shot!
Casa Tina
Known for its focus on fresh ingredients and healthy cooking, Casa Tina brings authentic Mexican cuisine from Miami, where both owners, Tina Avila and her husband, Javier, started their first restaurant.
Island Way Grill
Known for its fantastic seafood and award-winning Sunday Morning Brunch, Island Way has come to be many local places to be. Feel free to dive right into their buffet, available all day, and their sushi bar.
Big Storm Brewing
Created in 2012, this local brewing company is any craft beer fan’s dream. While there are many locations throughout the state, Clearwater is their main production facility. In addition to beer, they also serve fantastic “pub grub” to go along with whatever drink you choose. As you leave, grab a bag of their signature coffee or canned beer so you can continue the party at home or at your hotel.
Entertainment:
Clearwater Beach
At Clearwater Beach, the sand is as soft as powdered sugar; as the name suggests, the water is crystal clear. While the beach can sometimes be crowded, booking a room at any of the hotels or resorts can land you a great spot in the sun!
Wave Nightclub at Shephard’s (21+)
If you want to taste the nightlife, Wave is THE place to be on a Friday or Saturday night.
Open from 10 pm to 2:30 am, dance the night away with great music and drinks with your friends. Bottle service is provided for those who reserve a table on the first or second floor, but be fast because tables go quickly.
Pier 60
Spanning 1,080 feet in length, Pier 60 is the spot for catching fish, rays (Sun rays), and drinks with family and friends. Throughout the day, you might spot artisans, performers, and musicians setting up around the area. Take the time to check them out, as they are the heart and soul of Pier 60.
Captain Memo’s Pirate Cruise
This unique experience has been around for 40 years and shows no signs of sinking. Captain Memo’s Pirate Cruise is a two-hour experience where friendly pirates sing, dance, and serve complimentary drinks. If you go but aren’t booking the entire ship, there is an adults-only room where beer, wine, and champagne are served while the kids are elsewhere listening to stories, going on treasure hunts, playing games, and having water battles. The ship also seeks out dolphins, so there is a high possibility you will see aquatic friends.
