Dunedin
Dunedin, Florida — which is just 20 minutes from Clearwater Beach — feels like a world away. One of the oldest cities on Florida’s west coast, Dunedin was originally settled by Scottish immigrants, and its name is the Gaelic version of Edinburgh.But, there’s plenty to do here beyond kilts and bag pipes. Dunedin is an arts and culture hub, thanks to its vibrant street art and galleries. Beyond the art, there are also craft breweries, restaurants, and boutiques to explore. What you won’t see are any chain stores or restaurants in downtown Dunedin, making it a perfect (and compact) taste of old Florida.
