Bars VisitSPC.com/Bars CADDY’S TREASURE ISLAND There’s certainly no shortage of beach bars dotting the St. Pete/Clearwater area, so let’s delve into a handful of spots that merit a visit. Starting on Clearwater Beach, the Palm Pavilion Beachside Grill & Bar has been serving up good vibes since 1926 with epic sunset celebrations and an extensive menu. If you’re craving an absolutely killer grouper sandwich, head over to Frenchy’s Rockaway Grill , the largest of four Frenchy's locations in the area. The scene can get a little wilder at Shephard’s Tiki Beach Bar & Grill , with its outdoor Tiki-inspired bar and nightclub WAVE for an evening of busting moves. Beach Bars Venture a few miles further south to Jimmy Guana’s in Indian Rocks Beach, where you can dine inside or soak up some sunshine on the deck. If you’re up for a classic beach dive bar (and who isn’t?), Mahuffer’s in Indian Shores is filled with character and dollar bills. Grab a Bahama Mama and dive into the seafood-heavy sunset menu at Conch Republic in North Redington Beach. Be sure to try one of their scrumptious desserts. Craving some island music and tropical treats in a Tiki bar setting? Check out Coconut Charlie's in the DoubleTree Beach Resort or head a couple of miles south to Madeira Beach at Don the Beachcomber in the Cambria Hotel. Bamboo Beach Bar in John’s Pass is a go-to spot for awesome fish tacos and pina coladas. If you’re in the mood to sip something nonalcoholic in a friendly patio setting, Bula on the Beach serves up kava, kombucha (on draft), coffee and espresso. Fancy a drink as you dip your toes into the Gulf? Caddy’s Waterfront in Treasure Island is one of the few beachfront bars where it’s actually legal. (Cheers to freedom!) This local gem is a stone’s throw from the shore of Sunset Beach, a laid-back neighborhood just south of Gulf Boulevard. Speaking of waterfront wonders, Treasure Island is also home to Crabby’s On the Pass , which is sometimes touted as having the “world’s longest waterfront bar.” We can’t confirm or deny that claim, but it sure is a great spot to dock a boat, sip on rum runners and savor some fish filets. St. Pete Beach is a goldmine for beach bars, and Woody’s Waterfront is a top pick — casual, colorful, and right on the water. For a retro vibe, PCI Beach Bar & Snack Shack is the place to be on the weekends. Meanwhile, Undertow has built up a cult following for decades with its spacious rooftop deck, oversized wooden chairs and wide selection of import and craft beers. Don’t miss out on the charms of Pass-a-Grille Beach. Swing by Eighth Avenue, where you’ll find the Brass Monkey and Shadrack’s , one of the all-time classic beach bar dives that serves up a wicked Bloody Mary bar on Sundays. And for some breathtaking sunset views that will complement your drinks and food, you’ll want to make a pit stop at the iconic Hurricane Seafood Restaurant . MAHUFFER’S 104 AMERICA’S BEST BEACHES
