We have decided to stay here for a month. We will be flying from Tampa to NY to see family from 12/25 to 12/30, and with a monthly marina rate of $15 per foot, this is a great option.
Clearwater Beach is a wide, white sand, expansive beach and the boardwalk area has recently been refurbished with lush landscaping and Pier 60. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby as well as a Publix grocery store 1 mile away. The Jolly Trolley offers area transportation for $1 and there are bike paths also. The Clearwater Recreation Center offers yoga 3 times a week.
We rented a car from Enterprise for the weekend and toured St. Petersburg’s museums. The Salvador Dali Museum is extraordinary and offers the largest collection of his works in the U.S. The Museum of Fine Arts and the Holocaust Museum were very thought-provoking and all can be reached via the Looper Trolley bus.
We had wanted to go to Honeymoon Island and Calidisi Island State Parks with our boat but were concerned about water levels so we did the next best thing—packed a picnic, brought our beach chairs and hiking shoes and drove there. Definitely worth a visit.
Bob and I want to wish you a happy and joyful holiday season. We will start blogging again in January when we start heading south to Marathon.
