With the beach as a major objective we did
lots of research a head of time. We asked a few people,
browsed tourism bureau websites, etc, etc. Bottom line is you
still have to feel your way. We heard that Clearwater has
great beaches and that Caladesi Island is awesome. You have to
take a ferry and are limited to 4 hours on the island. With
the afternoon storms and the late start time of the ferry (10am)
that wasn't going to work. We acted on a tip and checked out
Indian Rocks Beach first (at 12th Street). It sucked--no good
sand. We must have not been in right place.
Finally we hit St. Petersburg Beach
Park. St. Pete's Beach is right at the end of the Pinellas
Byway (Highway 682; $0.50 toll) and the park is on Gulf Boulevard at
46th Street. Goregous beach! |
