I will never forget the first time I experienced the wide open blue; the smell of the ocean breeze, the sand beneath my toes, and the salty feel of the water. We arrived early Sunday morning and found the perfect location to set up "beach" camp. Chairs, the umbrella, towels, a cooler of Island Coastal Lager, and my new pirate flag...you know, the essentials. There was a slight breeze and the sun was just starting to warm the sand.
Before too long, we all made our way into the water to cool off taking turns keeping an eye on our new little mermaid. I don't think I was quite as brave as my niece was as she didn't want to leave the sea and was swimming around like a little fish. I am so happy she was able to go to Florida and spend a day at Clearwater, one of my favorite places to be.
After a few hours of swimming, building sand castles, and picking up seashells it was time for lunch. There is only one spot for this, Pearly's Beach Eats. Fish tacos, nachos, and local beer by the Pair O' Dice Brewing Co. are the must-haves when you are visiting Clearwater. We hit the local shops to pick up some new beach gear before heading to Pier 60. The pier offers an outstanding view of the Gulf and it was perfect timing too because we were able to watch the afternoon rain showers as they made their way inland.
We headed back to The Plantation for our traditional evening golf cart ride followed by burgers on the grill. And on our last day in Florida, we spent the morning playing Pickle Ball and relaxing from a busy past four days before catching our flight back to the Land of Oz.
