A bit of a drive but I suggest when do a drive to St Pete you stop off here as its some of the best Italian food anywhere Take Gulf Blvd a nice scenic drive to St Pete and stop in for lunch Owned by real Italians so they know how to make real Italian food. I know, I ve been to Italy 10 times.

Probably the best ambiance and food anywhere. What the boat come and go in the harbor, great views and nightime ambiance with firepits. A tad pricey but worth it. Very classy and excellent restaurant Highly recommend

Drinks & Nightlife
Rated best beach bar in Pineallas. You can sit outside the Pineapple Beach Apartment at Cottages of Clearwater for free and watch the Tourist stumble in and out all day and get their photo with Pirate Lady. This is a bar- bar where you will not find the Captain cause there's drinking, smoking, cussing, and someone will eventually fall off the bar stool. Pools and darts for the lightweights. Seems to a thing you gotta do when in Clearwater Beach. Not recommended of College Girls Spring Break cause your gonna find a lot of drunk old men. My Guests love to stumble over there cause it so open until 3 am and its the last call.

I recommend this place as it is Pet Friendly and most of my guests at Cottages of Clearwater bring their pets. Has outdoor patio for guests with pets. Also recommend for Spring Break and the young crowd as happy hour has very cheap beer and young people can mingle Food is what I call bar food, cheap and bring the kids Easy to walk to, difficult to park or pay in garage

Rated by some as the best beach park in Florida, and Capt.Al would agree. This really is one of the most spectacular passes in the state. I usually take my guests out to this spot with my boat in summer. You can walk there from Clearwater Cottages, about 2 miles.

A very scenic drive down along Gulf Blvd, lets you drive through all the cute little beach towns. The fort is historic and worth a visits. Spend the rest of the day in the downtown waterfront part of St.Pete.

Only about 3 blocks from Cottages of Clearwater, this is the shopping and dining district. Has all the chain restaurants arcades and shopping stores. Nice to stroll around when it cools down at night, lots of bars, go upstairs for the cheap drinks where you can mingle with the other on a budget. Take a picture with Hulk Hogan statue or have drink at his club next door. You will also find the Original Frenchys restaurant here 1982 The same great grouper sandwich, half size twice the price but still great.

The boat is great for kids and families comming from Disney. You get the picture. Loud, busy , noisy, silly, fun for the children. If they did not offer all you can drink, I d rather fall overboard as an adult. Remember FOR THE KIDS.

The Captain loves all boats and this is a very large classy boat. Comfortable, and gives a great tour around the island I recommend the sunset time cruise. You can enjoy the breeze on the upper deck or cool air conditioned dining deck. Best for the older crowd who like to dress up Just a nice relaxing cruise.
