Such a beautiful beach! The soft sand, abundance of shells, dolphins, sunsets, and rainbows! How could it get better? We went on a weekend and it wasn't too crowded. I know it gets busy on hot summer days, but with the aquarium nearby and amazing hotels with restaurants. You can always escape if it gets to cold in the evenings.

Clearwater Beach is simply stunning. The white sand and clear water create a picturesque backdrop that's hard to beat. The beach is well-maintained and clean, with plenty of space to relax and enjoy the sun. There are also plenty of amenities, including restrooms, showers, and food stands. The beach is family-friendly and safe, with lifeguards on duty and designated swimming areas. The views are breathtaking, especially at sunrise and sunset, and there's always something going on, whether it's beach volleyball, live music, or other events. Overall, Clearwater Beach is a true gem and a must-visit destination for anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing beach experience.

What an absolutely gorgeous iconic Florida beach. The sand just doesn't get any finer than this. Palm trees and sunshine and Blue water. We had the opportunity to spend a morning shelling and walking the beach down to the pier. Very busy and touristy but a must see if you are in the St. Petersburg / Clearwater area. Restroom facilities are available. And plenty of beachfront restaurants nearby.

The Gulf coast of the US are home to some of the best beaches in the country and this beach is not an exception. Clearwater, as the name suggests, the Emerald colored water here is very clear. The beach is very long with white, sugary sands. It's an excellent place for walking. The Pier is a great attraction. Sunsets here are just beautiful.

Absolutely gorgeous! We enjoy the best of the beach, sun and sea. The Japanese restaurant was great and the shopping was convenient. We could grab some shells as souvenirs and feel the fresh breeze from the depths of the beautiful sea.

White soft sand and relatively nice water! We visited on a windy day which gave us some nice waves to swim in. The long stretch of beach was great to walk down with a great view of the sunset. Lots of shops and reastaurants all around the beach as well. A bit of a hassle to park but that is expected for a popular beach on a sunny summer day.

We haven't been since the updating construction. This is such a beautiful space now, and wonderful that the integrated the old facility into the new. Added some outdoor spaces and beverage areas. The animals appear healthy, and happy. Love the new pelican area. Lots of parking, and currently they had a dinosaur 🦖🦕 exhibit that was really cute.

This is an awesome Aquarium. Remember it is a rescue aquarium. We took the behind the scenes tour. Olivia our guide was very informative. So much of what we saw was open to the public. But areas like the quarantine area and water treatment plant were off limits. The surgery room was being used while we were there. All the staff were great. There is a cafe there but we did not eat there. It was well worth the time to visit. The new addition is great.

I loved every minute of it. The dolphins were so cute and it was very informative. Make sure to attend the dolphin show. We went to the 2 o'clock dolphin show. Rudy did wonderful. I also pet stingrays and a dolphin came up to me so it was worth the money. I also love that all of the animals are rescued. I will definitely be back.

This is a small but cute aquarium. Lots of rehab going on which is awesome. There is a lot of outside area it's a little warm in summer. I also didn't realize Tampa aquarium and Clearwater are two different entities so I was a little disappointed in the size. The staff is very nice and helpful. You have to pay for parking. They offer different kinds of boat tours for additional fees which I will partake in at my next visit.

It is such a great way to spend the afternoon differently when you're on vacation with kids. We got the photo op with the dolphins, which means you can touch and feed the dolphins and take a picture with them. We were able to take ours with dolphin Nicholas. We also did the Dolphin Boat tour, we weren't able to see that many dolphins, but we saw about 4/5. They just hid immediately and we weren't able to take pictures. We also saw sting rays and a pelican during the boat tour. Some other cool animals are in the establishment, like sea turtles and sea otters. The food is also pretty good. I was expecting more fast food type, but it was actually decent. I highly recommend it!

Incredible incredible incredible!!! This location is absolutely outstanding, between the history here, the dolphins, otters and my absolute favorite sea turtles!!! This place was outstanding!!! Totally worth bringing the family, an incredible time can be spent here educating your family about all the wildlife. Just a great location here in Clearwater Florida, absolutely beautiful spot. And don’t forget to sign up for the dolphin tours. They took us out and we got to see dolphins out in the wild, this was incredible. When we got back we had some snacks, grab something cold to drink and viewed some more of the dolphin exhibit. The turtles in my opinion were the best thing they had to offer, of course I’m a little biased because I love sea turtles!!! This was also the home of Winter, the dolphin with the prosthetic fin. So the history here is absolutely Rich, the staff is absolutely incredible and just an amazing location to experience Clearwater !!! Bring the family and learn learn learn !!!

Very nice place to talk the kids and family. Dolphin show was spectacular. They have ample indoor parking and sell food inside. I enjoyed my time this aquarium however, i feel that the prices are too much for what they have to offer. Aquarium is a bit small, parking is not free and prices could be a bit cheaper.

Provided a fun couple of hours for our toddlers. I had been to CMA in 2012. The new additions to the facility are great, and I appreciated the educational opportunities provided. However, prices were a little high for the number of animals we were able to see/the amount of time we spent there. Most activities were additional costs on top of admission. We paid for stingray feeding, which was neat, but didn’t experience everything due to the cost. (I would recommend checking for coupon codes online and buying tickets in advance, as we were able to save some money doing this!) Some of the smaller educational activities were worn down/broken, but most were functional in some capacity. The CMA mission is great, and the volunteers and staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The layout of the facility was a little difficult to navigate with a stroller (lots of switching around on elevators), but do-able. Overall, we had a good time (two adults and two toddlers)!

Very educational and amazing to be able to see all the rehab available to our wildlife. Was a little sad at the same time. Everyone was super nice and knowledgeable. Please keep up the wonderful work. Worth every penny paid and donated. Thank u.

Touching experience to see the dedication of rescuing marine life! Dolphin watching in the aquarium, reading about their evolution and seeing the friendly dolphin interacting with children was a joy to watch. Loved the boat expedition to watch dolphins in their habitat! Loved the whole experience !

WOW! What an amazing experience!!!! Very educational for us all as well! We went on Father's Day also and were grateful for the discount!! Easy parking...and totally worth the money!!! Izzy was so funny! She played with the kiddos and made us all laugh! We even got to pet stingrays!!!

Lovely beach! Handicap accessible!!! It's a bit of a walk, and the bathrooms weren't super clean, but they were spacious, and staff was on-site to assist. Parking was easy and affordable!

Went here to watch the sunset! Absolutely gorgeous. Plenty of parking and beautiful views. Was a gorgeous evening and wow the sunset was amazing! Loved watching the sunset with the one I love!

There are many pavilions with restrooms in them. The only real drawback is that there aren't any vending machines at least at pavilion 7 where I was for lunch. Parking seems ample and can be done electronically with Park Mobile. Vehicles do not sit in shade on the beach side as the majority of the parking lot only contains palm trees. This park is pretty darn huge! It would probably be a very good spot for coming to the beach. The beach is exceptionally wide in this location. The water seemed to be very fluid with no stagnant areas. If you bring everything with you snacks and drinks and such then you should be okay otherwise you may want to find a different location.

Super nice beach! There’s not too many people here and it’s for the most part a very quiet beach! There were still lots of families so it is family friendly and there is a food truck as well. There’s bathrooms and showers as well which was nice. We were even lucky enough to see some dolphins while being out there and you can see AND feel fish swimming around you sometimes too! I highly recommend! I was also able to find tons of cool seashells and watch the beautiful sunset.

What a lovely destination on Clearwater Beach! This park has lots of parking and plenty of room to spread out. Great place to swim since its nice and shallow close to shore. Amazing sunsets and if you get here in the morning you can see some dolphins eating their breakfast. Highly recommend.

This is a great area for a family beach day. They have a place to buy food and drinks and plenty of chairs and umbrellas for rent. The bathrooms are also close to the beach with outdoor showers at each location. They were clean and pretty well maintained. The sand was well taken care of, but the water was a little dirty when we were there. I don't know if the water normally looks like that or if it was weather related. While we were there, a sailboat got washed up on the shore. It was wild and happened early on the day. I attached a picture of it. I would definitely recommend this part of Clearwater Beach to anyone looking for a fun day at the beach with some amenities provided.

I love this place. The beach is amazing, the water is clear and during the summer is warm, perfect to spend a whole day with family and friends. The park has a good playground, restrooms, showers, dog park and picnics and events areas. Great access to the beach and affordable parking price ($5 per day)

$5 to park and easy to navigate the parking machine where you'll put the printed ticket on your dashboard. Restroom facilities are on site. The beach area itself is kept nice, but is very very busy - meaning if you're looking for a quiet/peaceful beach experience this isn't going to be it. Perfect for families with kids though. Would recommend another lowkey beach for locals.

One of the best beaches in Clorella county. The water is warm, the wind is good, the beach is clean, enough parking lot. You pay $5 for parking the whole day. Opens at 7:00am to sunset. It's great to share with family, friends or by yourself. The park has public showers and restrooms.

Sand Key Park is one of our favorite local beaches in Clearwater. Wide open spaces, clear teal blue waters, conveniently located to shops, and relatively clean bathrooms. On a good day it's beautiful, on a great day it's spectacular. Nothing comparative to my home in Hawaii, but it's certainly close enough.

That park has all you need for your family and pet/pets. Dog park is well maintained and clean. Lots of areas with shadows from trees and covered benches. Located next to the beach where early in the morning and later in a day your pet can enjoy the ocean.

Moccasin Lake Nature Preserve is so awesome! The first thing we stopped by to view were the birds. My kids really enjoyed watching the Hawks and looking at the owls. Next, we decided to take the trail to see the turtle pond. We got to see them sunbathing, which was cute. You can then take the trail to the lake or a bird watching spot. The playground is clean and a good size as well. They had picnic shelters and a butterfly garden also. There is a nature center too, but we didn't have enough time to check it out. The parking lot is a decent size to accommodate visitors. Bathrooms are clean as well. We will be back!

Nice park there is a great walking trail which is mostly shaded. There are some birds in cadges which have been rescued. I do wish they had bigger habitats. The main reason I’m giving a 3 and not 5 is the trails aren’t marked very well. I almost got lost.

Great little park. Has a fantastic bird sanctuary up front with informational and friendly volunteers. The park features a lot of small walks and some walks near the water. The only thing I will warn (which is nothing the park can control) is there are wild pet peacocks who will attack cars. So be careful with that.

This is a wonderfully educational park to visit. There is a great indoor education center and the birds of prey rehabilitation area is stunning to visit. As you walk around the park, you will see QR codes that will take you to informational videos. There is also a butterfly garden and playground to enjoy. This park is great for anyone who loves nature and animals, homeschool families, and people of all ages.

Moccasin Lake Nature Park is a delightful place to spend time. There are trails to walk, a picnic pavillion, and best of all, several raptors on display as they recover and are cared for. We saw and talked to one of the park volunteers who was handling a red-shouldered hawk. An added bonus was a wild peacock who joined us in the picnic area. The peacocks wander around free and seem comfortable around people. Overall, a delightful place!!

Love this place! Awesome nature Preserve hidden in the middle of residential neighborhood close to the Bay in Clearwater off of Drew Street. This is my second time coming here and it’s actually closed on Monday so I didn’t get a check for baby gators I didn’t see any gators. But their bird sanctuary is awesome the eagle will hop across and come up to you and talk to you! There’s a herd of peacocks everywhere that will follow you! Today I saw river otters but couldn’t get video or pictures of them cause they were so fast. There’s so many wild different animals here that are hidden amongst everything that are hard to spot but it’s fun place to explore, it’s a great place to get exercise and walk, its nature at its best in the middle of a residential neighborhood you can’t even tell you’re in a neighborhood. They also have a butterfly exhibit I think a bad exhibit also and they have classrooms they have reptile showings! Can’t wait to go back I’m gonna start going to hear more often! Thank you for taking care of all the animals here moccasin like nature park and please keep up the good work!

This place is amazing for kids. The people are so nice. They walked with us and a giant bald eagle on their arm and introduced us to each bird and told us their stories. The park is stuck a lovely walk. Fun was had by all, young and older

Pier 60 in Clearwater, Florida is a popular tourist attraction known for its beautiful beaches and leisure activities. Its prime location, right in the heart of the beach, provides easy access to stunning views of the Gulf of Mexico and stunning sunsets. One of the main advantages of Pier 60 is that it is a public place with free access. You can stroll along the pier, enjoy the sea breeze and admire the scenery without having to pay anything. However, there are some options for paid activities, such as renting beach chairs and umbrellas. In terms of food, Pier 60 offers a variety of food and beverage options at its kiosks and stalls. You can find everything from quick snacks like popcorn and cotton candy to full meals like hamburgers and seafood. Prices are a little high given the touristy nature of the area, but the convenience of having on-site food options makes up for it. Service at Pier 60 varies depending on the specific location you choose to buy food or rent beach gear. Some establishments may be more efficient and friendly than others, but overall, the staff is helpful and responsive to visitors' needs. As for parking, it's important to mention that it can be a challenge to find spaces near Pier 60, especially during peak hours. It is recommended to arrive early or consider using public transport to avoid problems. Pier 60's quality as a tourist destination is undeniable. The beaches are clean and well maintained, offering a pleasant environment to relax and enjoy the sun. Additionally, entertainment options such as street performers and live events provide a lively and fun experience for visitors. Overall, Pier 60 is a place worth visiting in Clearwater. Its stunning location, varied food options, friendly service and captivating tourist environment make it an unmissable point of reference in the region. I recommend a visit to everyone who wants to enjoy a memorable beach day and fun activities.

Beautiful pier in the middle of clearwater beach. Only $1 to walk to the end. You can rent everything you need to fish here. In the evening they have a sunset festival with vendors and entertainment. Definitely suggest stopping by around sunset or early morning

A couple times now, my husband, daughter and I have come down and seen the sunset from the pier. It's absolutely magical.... sturdy, and we love browsing the shops.

Absolutely amazing views and beach and water. It’s a great day out. Still don’t get why one has to pay $1 just to reach the end of the pier with nothing much to see there that you couldn’t see elsewhere. But otherwise it’s a great day out with pristine sand water and tranquility.

Pier 60 is one of the central attractions in Clearwater beach. The beach has playground, restaurant and a fishing pier. There are some or the other entertainers who perform on the pier each day. You can walk to a point on the pier with no fee and will see some stalls selling accessories and other gift items. To go beyond, one will need to give some fee. Clearwater beach is one of the beautiful beaches in Florida. This beach features white sand and is located on an island. It offers various activities like jet ski, parasailing and has several restaurants and shops near the beach. During weekends and spring breaks, the parking is usually full.

LOVE this pier! Hubs can fish while kiddos and I enjoy the beach. Great for family days. Conveniently located off Clearwater beach. Bench seating, little walk, some shade provided. Not too costly and parking close by.

After a pleasant morning at the beach, we went to Frenchy's to have lunch. The fries with crab meat were so good: I never thought about this combination and it was real crab meat. Delicious! I had a super green salad with shrimp. It was good, but I wish it was less citric. But that is a matter of taste, some people like that. Overall, my experience was amazing and staff was great! Will come back!

This is an amazing accidental find. The food was awesome. Every item we ordered was well worth it. Place is busy and if there is a wait. It's well worth it. To top it all don't miss the sunset here. Best location for the sunset views.

A must when visiting Clearwater beach! The food is always amazing. We get the crab fries every time and are never disappointed. We also ordered the Caesar salad with calamari and the tropical chicken walnut salad; everything was delicious. The key lime pie was also wonderful. Great place to watch the sunset while you eat dinner! We arrived around 7 PM on a Friday and waited about 40 minutes for our table; the food and views were worth the wait! Parking can be difficult to find, so I’d suggest walking if possible.

The food and drinks were delicious. The staff were wonderful. The weight was worth it, we timed it perfectly with the sunset and was able to get one last sunset on the beach while we waited for a table. Moments after we came back to the restaurant, our name was called to be seated. Can't wait to visit again!

We ate here with our 14-month-old and we ordered chicken fingers off the kids menu, crab rangoons for an app, husband got a surf and turf with steak and shrimp, and I got the tropical walnut chicken salad. All was good except my husband's steak was well done and he asked for medium rare. Our server was great and the atmosphere is very fitting for a beach vacation. It's a nice location right on the beach!

A very positive experience. Great food. We stopped here with the family after spending a day at the beach. Such an amazing view. Had drinks, food, and laughs. All while next to the sand, enjoying the see breeze and listening to the ocean. Great atmosphere. Staff was friendly and professional. Food was delicious and the menu had items for everyone in the family. We will definitely be coming back here on our next trip to Florida.

When we got there we has to wait for a table, but they have a good system to manage the queue, where you can see your place in the wait list. But it's definitely worth the wait. Their food is very tasty, their drinks are very creative.

It’s been about 10 years since I’ve eaten here so we thought we’d try it out again. The service was outstanding, our waitress had that cool beach vibe going on and she was helpful. The food was disappointing, nothing like I had remembered. We had the grilled grouper sandwich, it came on an onion roll, way too much cheese melting off it and a thin piece of grouper. The atmosphere was great. I would come here for a drink but skip the food.

This was the perfect spot to sit and have some of Frenchy's fantastic food and drinks. I really enjoyed the big grouper sandwich 🥪 it was delicious and very satisfying. I absolutely loved the atmosphere and came here in my trunks after the beach ⛱ perfect place for a beach resturaunt with great food and drinks.

I recently took my family to Frenchy's Rockaway Grill in Clearwater, Florida, for a sunset dinner, and we had an amazing experience. The restaurant is situated right on the beach, offering stunning waterfront views and a relaxing atmosphere. The menu at Frenchy's Rockaway Grill is extensive, with a variety of fresh seafood, burgers, salads, and other American cuisine. We started with the "Super Grouper" sandwich, which was loaded with fresh fish and delicious toppings. For our entrees, we ordered the seafood platter, the crab cakes, and the grilled chicken salad, and each dish was flavorful and well-prepared. One thing we particularly enjoyed about Frenchy's Rockaway Grill was the service. The staff was friendly and attentive, and they went out of their way to make sure we had a great dining experience. The restaurant also has a lively and welcoming atmosphere, with live music and a fun vibe. The sunset views at Frenchy's Rockaway Grill were simply breathtaking. We were able to watch the sun slowly set over the Gulf of Mexico while enjoying our dinner and drinks, making for a truly memorable experience. Overall, I highly recommend Frenchy's Rockaway Grill to anyone looking for a delicious meal and stunning waterfront views. The food is fresh and well-prepared, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is lively and welcoming. It's a great spot for a romantic date night or a fun family dinner.

Gorgeous views and yummy drinks/food. Tried the pineapple upside down blended drink and it was soooo good! Those crab fries are pretty delicious as well!!! Reasonably priced food/drinks. Friendly servers and a VIEW of the ocean! Highly recommend!

This was my first time visiting Frenchy's Rockaway Grill, and I am so happy that I did. I saw plenty billboards while traveling to Clearwater for Frenchy's so I decided to see what the hype was about. We came on a Thursday and the backdrop to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico was enough to take your breathe away. While waiting for our table we order some drinks at the walk up bar, and those were absolutely refreshing and strong! The food was absolutely delicious esp. The crab fries (yummmmmy). Our server was amazing as well, and the live music by Cutty was amazing. I can't wait to visit Frenchy's again, you have a life customer in me!!

Great venue on the sand at sunset. Chipotle ranch chicken tacos are good. Rockaway chicken is good (not great or anything to write home about). Garlic mashed potatoes and coconut rice are good. Prices are not super high. Rum runner is good (is apparently a favorite). I would say food is a 3 to 4 star but service was a 5 star for me. I have a nut allergy and the waiter and the staff ensured it was properly handled and we still got our food promptly- they take food allergies very seriously, which is nice.

Great selection of food with decent prices. Huge portions so share if you can- we wasted a lot of food. Service was very good and atmosphere inviting. Avocado egg rolls are DELICIOUS!!!! My coconut shrimp were large and very good. My husband got the grouper tacos and really liked them. Gets very busy so try to eat at off times but they do have a LOT of seating areas.

The location is perfect on Clearwater Beach and easy access from many condos, apartments, and hotels. The atmosphere is great and the staff are so pleasant and helpful. Lauren was amazing and constantly checked on us. She told us about some of her favorites and even brought a sauce she loved to eat with the homemade chips. It was excellent. The manager also checked on us to make sure everything was satisfactory. The effort that was put forth to make sure our experience was a good one was impeccable. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area. You won't be sorry.

We stopped here for apps and drinks and I must say everything was pretty tasty. The salad was fresh. Loved the gator bites! The service was awesome. We had 9 people and Meme took great care of us. We sat outside. It wasn’t too busy when we arrived. If you’re looking for a quick bite, I would definitely recommend Crabby’s.

John our server was great. We sat downstairs in the patio area which is covered and after 15 minutes it started raining so it made sense that it was covered. Right by Clearwater beach. The crab dip was incredible!! The food overall was pretty good. Not the best I e ever had but definitely not the worst. We had some temperature issues with our food but John and the manager on duty fixed it right away.

First off the view to the beach during the day is much better than at night. The parking is not the best but what can one expect being that it is beachside. The ambiance of the location is nice and calm and not too rowdy with loud music. The outside has tables and umbrellas for shade or as in our case, rain. There is cornhole games outside to kill some time while you wait on food and drinks. At the entry a greeter was ready to seat you and was very polite and professional. Even when we left she asked how was everything and was very kind. Our server Keirsten was very polite and professional and even recommended some plates since it was our first time. The food was great and the taste was superb, the portions were on par with the price and wow those shrimps were large. Overall the staff was great everyone greeted you even the bus men picking up the tables. I highly recommend this place to anyone.

My husband and I came here after riding jet skis...so we were starving. He ordered boneless buffalo wings and coleslaw. I do not like boneless wings, but his looked really good, so I tried them. They were really tasty so we ordered another basket of them. I ordered the fruit salad and lobster roll. I did not like the lobster roll it wasn't like others I have had at other places, but I was starving so I did eat more than half of it. My husband didn't like his coleslaw. I didn't taste it so I am not really sure. I am willing to go back and explore other items on the menu ( just not the lobster roll.)

The food was great, however the wait time was a PAIN since we had a party of 12 ppl. They said 1hr, but waited over 1hr & half. When we got inside waited another 30mins plus to get our drinks & food etc so if small crowd less wait time, bigger crowd takes way too long. Gator bites was good. Sweet tea wasn't the typical NC sweet tea 🤣😂🙈 you'll have to add sugar to make it sweet. Other than that OUR dinner view was AMAZING. That sunset was mind blowing 😱😯 Would we come back? Yes we would and we'd recommend this place as well. Can't remember our waitress name, but she was sweet and on her A GAME even though it was a tab bit busy she still made sure we got our food and they were missing a few of our food and she told the back staff and made sure our food was coming.

Just loved this place and my husband too. The best here Ms Boots. Her service is outstanding. There is nothing better to be great with a warm smile right before you start enjoying a delicious dinner. Yes she delivers: smile, good service, knowledge and more. Great asset for Crabbys. The place is located right in front of the beach 🏖 just cross the street and you have a nice restaurant, nice ambience, great food and amazing customer service. Nothing beat a great sunset 🌆 good company and good food. My husband went for steak and I went for avocado tacos 🌮- loved them!!!! Great quality food and delicious. Yes I will come back and YES in capital letters I would recommend this restaurant. Thanks.

Gator bite was delicious! We ordered grouper grilled dish, which we had to take them back due to strong ammonia smell from fish. Meh. Boom boom taco and crabby combo was so so. Calamari was very dry, fried grouper in the combo was also smelly but we did not complain again. Server was very kind and attentive.

We really enjoyed our dinner. Family friendly for our 3 year old. The popcorn shrimp and "Lobstah Roll" were amazing. The rum bucket was great and enough forn2 to share. We're definitely coming back for the crab.

Definitely recommended. I took my family here for vacation and ate at this restaurant. The staff was very friendly. The service was awesome. The food and drink were delicious. The wait can be long and the restaurant was busy, but the food and service were not cut any corner. We ate here 3 times and food and service are the same.

We really enjoyed our brunch here. Excellent service and friendly employees! Can’t say enough about how nice they all are. We had western omelettes, biscuits & gravy, all meat omelette, bacon, a toasted bagel and hash browns. Everyone loved the hash browns! I asked for American cheese on my omelette…it had hardly any cheese at all. We also didn’t care for the gravy…has a strong taste of sage or something?! That being said - we enjoyed the food! And, the service! And we are trying it again tomorrow - this time…the French toast! We absolutely recommend eating here. EDIT: Went back two more times & LOVED all the food! Including the chicken & waffles, French toast, banana French toast, we got the potatoes extra crispy this time - game changer! Breakfast sandwich (was just ok). The waffles and French toast are amazing! YUM!!

We just stumbled on this place because it was next to our hotel, but man we’re glad we did! We sat on the patio and enjoyed the slight breeze and the palm trees next to the restaurant. Our waitress was super friendly and gave some great recommendations I ordered the fried chicken croissant and was blown away. Chicken was super crispy and the flavor of the spicy honey was amazing. Our waitress recommended to add an egg and cheese and she was sooo right. Highly highly recommend

We came to have lunch here first time in June and really enjoyed it. So this time we were somewhat anxious but those guys managed to impress us even more. The food is great. I like that there are loads of very healthy options. And the atmosphere of the place is so vibey - a bit like a tropical bar somewhere in Jamaica. Turtle decor all over deserves a separate mention The waiters are very accommodating and welcoming. We will definitely come back again!

I came here for brunch on Saturday morning and had one of the best experiences. Our server Sam was very friendly and helpful. The food was a good proportion and seasoned nicely. And the Bloody Mary bar while you wait was so much fun; You can add your own twist to the drink in terms of toppings. The restaurant was packed but we didn’t wait more than 30 minutes. Clean and good ambiance. You can walk over to the beach after. Can’t wait to come back!

We had a very descent meal at Clear Sky. For food I would have to give 4*, but our server Travis would get 5*. They didn’t have an ingredient for the martini I wanted so I had to go with my second choice. The rice with the sushi bowl I got definitely had some hard grains of rice throughout the bowl which was kind of unpleasant. But the sushi bowl did have good flavor and fresh tuna, so that part was nice. Also, one of the oysters that we got was completely inedible. So I was only able to enjoy 5/6 oysters. Plus the oysters were not separated from the shell so they were not the cleanest. I would probably pass on them next time. Pretty nice experience overall, but will probably try another restaurant before I go back.

The good: - Ahi Tuna Nachos was a big hit at our table. - Jambalaya was very good, tomato flavor very good and shrimps very tender. - Staff very friendly and helpful. - Scallops and shrimp was also a hit and well received. The not so great: - Poke bowl was a tad small portioned.

Such a cute place! Our waitress Alexa was extremely nice and attentive! Great decor inside too, it was a bit chilly to sit outside but they have a great enclosed area with heaters too. Only reason I gave it a 4 star rather than 5 stars is we ordered the Biscuits and Gravy and the biscuits were a bit hard. Other than that everything was great!

I went here with my friend yesterday and the mojitos were LIFE! We had 2 dragonfruit mojitos and David, our waiter gave us the best service. Our waiter was taking so long to get to us, we asked where they were and David said “don’t worry about it, I’m your waiter now” he brought us water and bread without us having to ask and was so polite and friendly. The birria tacos were so good I had a dream about them last night 😩 I’m glad I live close enough to have lunch here at least once a week. This is my new favorite spot 🥂

Nice place, go early (8-8:30) as it gets busy around 9am. Food was pretty good but my Crepes could have been a bit warmer. Husband's side dish potatoes were a bit to soft. Overall good.

This lovely beachside eatery is nestled in the heart of Clearwater beach. Boasting a cozy, warm atmosphere, and a polite host as you walk in the door, Clear Sky definitely can take claim to a welcoming environment. The menu is extremely diverse, with what appears to be a great selection of flavor combinations to choose from. Wanting to try a different array of dishes, we ordered the Diver’s Scallops Gnocchi, Wild Mushroom Dumplings, Bruschetta, and Wagyu Meatloaf. The amaretto sour was well balanced, however very heavy on the ice. The food was nearly fantastic. The Diver’s Scallop dish was definitely our favorite for taste. The gnocchi was cooked to perfection, the scallops were perhaps a tad overdone. The wild mushroom dumplings were perfectly seasoned and seared, they were also served with three uniquely different sauces that all paired phenomenally. The bruschetta was underwhelming, the tomatoes were definitely the star of the dish, but the “fresh” mozzarella was not so fresh. The meatloaf was done very well. The asparagus was finely seasoned and cooked perfectly. Our dinner was enjoyable, but our service was not. It took our waitress a long time to greet us, our drinks were found empty, and it took what seemed like forever to get our check. We look forward to trying Clear Sky another time, because their menu definitely excites us. Their breakfast menu appears to be amazing, so we will definitely try this restaurant again.

Their salsa was really good and that’s why I think they charge for it. Not a fan of their chips tho. Food was decent, the service was fast. The wait time was a lot. The margaritas was good while we were waiting. Nice rooftop view and seating. The parking is available on the property.

Looking for a way to view fireworks in Clearwater Beach we were recommended to Marina Cantina and we reserved a table at 8:30 PM outside on the second floor. Not the easiest place to find but literally on the marina dock and you can take the elevator or climb the stairs. Glad we made reservations and many came and were not able to be seated for food but probably got a view at 9:30 when the fireworks began. The view was great and unfortunately better than the food itself. First though our complements to Jovilian E who was great, non-pushy and at tentative during the evening. We had the guacamole and shrimp ceviche. The latter was fine but the first felt like it wasn't fresh with no flavor. Also chips were served but without salsa and when we asked it seemed like a surprise. For main course we were told every day red snapper grouper and octopus were brought in so we had the red snapper and shrimps and scallops with accompaniments. Again average. Ordered sides of cauliflower which was decent and street corn which was average. Very disappointed that they ran out of Tres leches so we ordered the dessert trio which came with a small portion of Tres leches (strange that this order came but no full order was available) Glad we came because the fireworks were super but would not come back unless again to see the fireworks.

We came here on vacation and I have no complaints whatsoever!! Service was 10/10. I don’t remember our server’s name unfortunately but he was outstanding. The food I could have eaten for days (portions were great and flavor too). Great view of the marina and wildlife. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. Pictured is the Cantina Bowl with cauliflower instead of chicken. Would very highly recommend!

Absolute must try! We sat at the outdoor tables and enjoyed a view over the docks while we dined. The drinks were wonderful and balanced. I had the grouper cake benedict and it was a perfect combination of flavors with the hollandaise pairing with the fish incredibly well. The trio of deserts was fantastic - everything was delicious. Great service and timing for a Sat brunch. We will most definitely be going back!

Amazing spot to eat right by the beach! Their food was delicious. We came with a big group of 11 and we’re seated and served very quickly. Some of the dishes we tried and definitely recommend were the ceviche (snapper only), stuffed grouper, roasted plantains, red snapper and the dessert trio!! All of these are a must!

I am never disappointed when I come on many occasions. Always good live music, refreshing cocktails, delicious food, wonderful staff and great views!

Had the mojo chicken skewers, ahi tuna tostada, and the octopus. The chicken skewers fell off the skewer and as much as I hate onions we devoured the pineapple pico. Gonna end this short and sweet: this is undoubtedly the best octopus I’ve ever had. The charred pork belly added an accompaniment I didn’t know was necessary. The combination of their verde sauce and chimichurri had me spooning it off the plate. I will not forget this place. Thank you Alex, our fantastic server. Maybe my favorite food in town, damn

This restaurant does not honor its published advisements. Wednesday is "Industry Night". The four of us at our table are all in the industry. We work at a resort just down the road from Marina Cantina. We had our bill split up into 2 and 2. They pick and choose what parts of the bill they want to take the 25% off of. My bill was overcharged by almost $10. When I inquired about this, I was told it was because your friend could not prove he was in the Industry, and no discounts off of the drinks. The server was not aware of the policy, as it was the manager who was handing out the discounts. When I pointed out this is not what the table tent says, he said I don't care this is the rules. I have added a picture of the table tent stating "25% off of Everything." Our server was fantastic, and we made sure to show our love in the server's tip. The food was good, and a nice presentation. However I will not be sending any guests toward this location due to the lack of integrity that the restaurant has.

Marina Cantina was a great brunch option in Tampa. It’s conveniently located right across the street from the beach & the rooftop vibe & views were just what my group was looking for. We shared the chicken nachos (AMAZING), & then ordered the garden quesadilla with shrimp & the short rib hash. Quesadilla was tasty & the shrimp were very fresh. The short rib hash was good & the serving was HUGE. My husband could not eat it all. The best part of the visit was our server Kurt! He was attentive, friendly, & helpful. We’ll be back!

Our waitress was very friendly and educated about the menu. The chicken pineapple skewers were to die for. Parking was not horrible around 3 PM but definitely filled up once leaving.

Great restaurant with a touch of history. Food is absolutely amazing. We had the crab cake for appetizer, it was loaded with juicy crab meat. The sangria is a fantastic choice, one of the best cocktail ever tasted. The entree was chicken breast over yellow rice, tender and crispy. The yellow rice is unbelievable. Still crowded at 9:30pm. Book a reservation the day before to secure a seat.

Ambiance was perfect for all ages. Water views . Portions were good to great. . The ham croquettes are highly recommended. And the Cuban Roast pork left something to be desired. The texture was that of pork cooked in garlic sauce. The chicken and rice was very filling. Service was unremarkable and parking was challenging. I would return to try another dish.

Had a great evening with beautiful view bay! We ordered tapas selection and wasn't disappointed. For the calamari, request a side of a red sauce. They didn't have marinara or cocktail sauce, but rather they brought some roasted tomato and olive sauce that was sensational! It should be standard because it was so awesome.

One of my favorite Spanish restaurants. The place is rich in Latin culture and the food is absolutely amazing! When we visit Tampa again, we will definitely will be returning. Our waiter Dakota was awesome too!!!

Beautiful experience altogether. Very sharp looking and professional staff. Our waiter Carlos in particular was incredibly friendly and nice. As far as the food goes, I legitimately cannot remember enjoying a meal this much maybe in my entire life. I have never seen my mom this excited and pleased with a meal. The flavors were aboslutely perfect in every possible way.

Really nice place and an amazing waiter, so attentive and always at our table making sure we had what we needed. Great selection of food, and interesting too! The view is beautiful from outside where we sat. We got lucky because we didn't have reservations, and came with a group of 7, they were so kind and found us a table immediately outside even though they were booked full. Really neat the history behind the restaurant too. Definitely loved the presentation of the meals too, when they brought our plates out! Here's a couple pictures of 2 of our meals, one is a type of crab cakes (I can't pronounce in Spanish) and the other is a type of chicken. One thing you may like to know is there is valet parking, which we didnt know beforehand, so when we got there we were confused and found out you have to use it, it's free, they just work off the tips. They were sweet said you don't have to but we wouldn't have felt right not tipping.

Outstanding food. Highly recommend you visit here. I was stuck between what I wanted and asked the waiter what was best. He recommended the Gambino. It was fantastic. One of the better steaks I ever had in the bread in the beginning was warm and delicious. I also had a dessert to go, which was fantastic even after taking it home

When to celebrate my husband birthday. The food was great. The atmosphere & service totally awesome. Very much worth it. Definitely will return. Amazing flan & churros!!

Fantastic evening all around. From the staff that greets you to the waitress (Cindy your an all star) to the food to the bus team. Every thing was top notch. If you sit outside the view is amazing. Adjacent to the Marriott and several beech shops. Food was delicious as well. A pretty decent wine and alcohol selection. They offer a variety of Spanish and Cuban cuisine. Food took a bit long to come out but it was worth it. Deserts are all freshly made on premises. If you do sit outside on the patio or the porch the tables do not have tablecloths. Inside tables are a bit more fancy. But my party preferred the view outside. Definitely will return next time I am in Sand Key. Bravo Columbia!!!

We live in the Burbs of Chicago. It's hard to beat the food and service there. I can say no question, this is one of the best restaurants and servers I have ever had. Josue was so great and so much fun! His service went above and beyond. We don't get the chance to go out without our kids often. He made everything feel not rushed and made sure our food and drinks were just what we wanted. The food was just amazing. We also sat and had a drink before, and all the bartenders were great. I can't say enough good things. Don't miss this great place. It's definitely a great experience!

Columbia is an upscale Spanish restaurant serving Cuban and Spanish food. They are the oldest operating restaurant in Tampa. The food is upscale, the dress code is bathing suits with cover-ups and sandals to formal. The paella is excellent. The wait staff are friendly, attentive and professional.
