Things To Do
Honeymoon Island State Park
We live near some of the best beaches in the country. Honeymoon Island state park is one of our favorite quiet island getaways. This is the best beach for relaxing beach vibes.
Clearwater Beach
Did we mention the beaches? Clearwater beach has been voted best beach in the country. You can find lots of shops, eats and fun rentals. May be crowded on the holiday weekend, but for good reason!
The Dalí (Salvador Dalí Museum)
See classic works by Salvador Dali. While you're there, enjoy the sights and sounds of Downtown St. Petersburg!
Dunedin
Breweries, bike trail, shops, restaurants and more! There's a reason we live downtown, because we love it!
Catch a baseball game: TD Ballpark
Check out our local minor league team, the Dunedin Blue Jays. The stadium is down the street from Nick and Ashley's... literally.
Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks
Tarpon Springs has the largest population of Greek and Greek-Americans than anywhere in the United States and is home to the World Famous Sponge Docks. Here you'll find all the tziki, hummus, gyros, and spanokopita you could ever wish for. The Sponge Industry helped build a Greek Community that is now famous not only for the worlds finest sponges, but for some of the finest Greek Restaurants, Markets, and Bakeries in the Country.
Tampa Riverwalk
Want to venture to Tampa? Take a jaunt along the Riverwalk. You can walk, bike, or take a scooter down the Riverwalk where you can stop at one of the many attractions, bars, or restaurants. You may also see the Tampa Bay Dragon Boat Club hard at work on the river.
Ybor City
Looking for history? Check out the historic Latin quarter and former center of cigar manufacturing, Ybor City. Pay a visit to The Columbia Restaurant, the oldest restaurant in Florida, (and one of Nick and Ashley's favorites) learn how to build the original Cuban Sandwich (it's more Italian than you think), and get a personal lesson on hand-rolled cigar making from the oldest family-owned cigar factory, J.C. Newman Cigar Company.
Johns Pass
Great for your beach shopping fix. John's Pass is part boardwalk, part waterfront shopping and full on tourist trap. But, take it from the locals, here you can find all your beach souvenirs and cross off that Christmas list early.
Breakfast: The Sandpiper Coffee Roaster Cafe
We lived off the Sandpiper's 'Beef on Weck' for breakfast during quarantine. A must stop for a quaint outside Dunedin breakfast.
Gluten Free Eats: The Scone Age Bakery & Cafe
Gluten free goodness can be found less than a block away from Nick and Ashley's at the Scone Age. Great gluten free breakfasts, lunches and baked goods!
Pizza: Jack Pallino's Pizza
Best artisan pizza in town! The drinks aren't half bad either...
Great Seafood: Lucky Lobster Co.
The mother of the Groom's favorite seafood spot in Dunedin. Get the lobster pot pie!!
Stuff your face: Lenny’s Restaurant
You will never leave this Philadelphia Jewish diner hungry. Ashley is obsessed with the Rueben and Nick has never seen a larger burger. Lenny's is a Pinellas County institution and a beloved gem.
Drinks with a View: Hi-Fi Rooftop Bar
Best rooftop bar in Dunedin. Can it get better than a Florida sunset while drinking a tequila sunrise? Added bonus: this bar is located at one of our hotel recommendations- and where Nick and Ashley will be staying.
