Places to Eat
It’s hard to choose just one thing I love!! This little place in St Pete’s is such a vibe on a nice sunny day or warm night. They offer several sidewalk tables along with seating inside their adorable restaurant. The food is based on 100 year old fam...
Bavaro's Pizza Napoletana & Pastaria
This is my favorite ice cream shop in the area. They have amazing unique flavors that are so delicious. Many of the flavors have big chunks of ingredients which is my downfall! My favorite pick is the Mint Chocolate Cream Cookie🥰
Bright Ice Scoop Shop
This little coffee shop is a must-stop if you are in the area. They were hit hard by the last hurricane but thank goodness came back!! They have all the coffee things, teas, breakfast sandwiches, croissants, muffins, healthy bites and even gluten fre...
Indian Shores Coffee
Craft Kafe is a completely gluten free restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch items in addition to pastries and desserts. I’ve never had something I did not like here-it is insanely delicious!! There are several variations of seating inside along...
Craft Kafe
This restaurant seems to still be a secret in St Pete’s as it doesn’t draw the large crowds as some of the other restaurants. Tapas are so fun when you have three or more guests because you can order so many different dishes and share them with each ...
Bohemios Rest St. Pete - Authentic Spanish Tapas & Latin Flavors ...
On the outside, it looks like just another strip mall restaurant, but inside/amazing Greek food awaits!
One of their most popular items is their potato salad. I don’t like potato salad, but I love their potato salad. Whether you order a full salad o...
Athenian Gardens
I feel this place is a low-key little hidden treasure in the Clearwater area. I LOVE acai bowls and I'm somewhat of a snob when it comes to them. There seems to be different acai bases out there and I'm always in search of the real thing and they hav...
The Healthy Hive
First Watch is one of my favorite go-to places for breakfast even though they also serve lunch. They make delicious fresh juices, have seasonal specials and the food is A-MAZING. Some of the items I’ve tried are the pancakes, omelettes, and the avoc...
First Watch
If you are a Star Wars fan, you do not want to miss a stop at Fit Stop. This place has the coolest vibe going on with their decor!
Not to mention their delicious healthy food and drink options. They have rice bowls, açaí bowls, salads and protein sha...
Fit Stop Eatery
I love finding good food with great ingredients. CALI has both…well, except for the big warm chunky cookies that you MUST try😂 They have delicious bowls, wraps and pizzas all made with the best ingredients. *Tip-try an Agua Fresca…SO good!
CALI - St. Pete
This is my favorite pizza place in the area. They make artisan pizzas that are so delicious. I like their pizza because it’s not heavy-it’s very light and fresh. They also offer a gluten free and cauliflower crust.
Slyce Madeira Beach
If you love Hawaiian food then you don't want to miss a stop at this place! They have authentic Hawaiian recipe dishes on their menu. They offer beef, chicken, pork and seafood options. My go-to is always the Huli Huli Chicken that comes with an amaz...
Aloha to Go
Must Visit Shops
This is another of my favorite record stores. They have a very large selection and things are organized pretty well. They do participate in Record Store Day which can be pretty fun!
Bananas Records
If you are a vinyl collector like I am, this is just one of the many amazing record stores that I like to frequent. The owners name is Nick and he’s a huge music enthusiast. He literally has his store filled to the max with vinyls, CD’s and cassettes...
The Disc Exchange
I love shops that have refurbished decor and furniture and artsy, unique items. This is a fairly large store that has so many of these fun things. You could easily spend a couple hours browsing in this store!
Coastal Cottage
This store is such a fun place to browse or if you're looking for a funny/gag gift. They have tshirts, sweatshirts, boxers, pet items, towels, decor and so much more. Definitely a must-stop if you're in the Madeira Beach area!!
Big Dick's Salty Seaman Fun Shop
Attractions
This place doesn’t get old for me. There are so many shops to browse in and a few places to have a bite to eat. The boardwalk is fantastic for people and dolphin watching. There are several tours that take off from the boardwalk as well including boa...
John's Pass Village & Boardwalk
The pier has so many things to do or can also be nice for just a walk and people watching. It has several places to eat, a park and a beach, and a fishing deck. They also have several events which includes a market and live music. I really enjoy just...
St. Pete Pier
There are so many markets around the area and this is one of my favorite Sunday morning ones. Some of the vendors are there on the regular and some change. They usually have live music and several vendors serving food. We enjoy grabbing a pastry and ...
Corey Avenue Sunday Market on St. Pete Beach
This bridge is pretty cool from afar and a whole different experience driving over it!
The views are absolutely stunning and at night it’s lit up with LED lights. The bridge is about four miles across and does cost a minimal toll but in my opinion, i...
Sunshine Skyway Bridge
I mean…you can't go wrong with a good mini-golf course! And if it has alligators…bonus! Smugglers Cove is open 365 days a year from morning until late evening so they are always open if you need something to do - rain or shine!
Smugglers Cove Adventure Golf
On the Water
I LOVE to paddle board! The best kind of boarding is when you don’t have to haul the board down the street, across the road, etc…Mad Beach is right on the intercoastal so you can put into the water right there. The waters are calm and there are a cou...
Mad Beach Paddle Sports
It is true what they say, this beach is super beautiful! The area in general has a lot going on. There is a great beach walk and lots of restaurants and shops to browse in. I really enjoy hanging out on the pier watching people fish and keeping my ey...
Clearwater Beach
Parks
If you are looking for a dog-friendly beach and play area, this park has it. It has two large fenced areas for small and big dogs and its very own dog beach! The dog beach is large and has plenty of space to set up chairs and umbrellas. It’s such a f...
Fort De Soto Park
This park is close to my home so I might be a little biased, but it’s my favorite place to go to escape the traffic and the noise of the city. There are so many trails to walk and plenty of places to sit and look out onto the lake or the ponds. The p...
