Caladesi Island Beach in Dunedin Voted #1 Beach in U.S.

ADDED June 21, 2008 4 COMMENTS

I’m often amazed to meet so many people that have lived here for years and haven’t yet ventured out to visit the beach at Caladesi Island.  If that’s you, you won’t want to miss the next boat that departs regularly from Honeymoon Island on a quick trip over to Caladessi Island.  The Caladesi Connection has departures daily and $10 gets you there, $6 for kids 4-12 and kids 3 and under are free. 

Our fabulous beach was recently voted the #1 Beach in the United States!   To get an idea of what a day at Caladesi Island beach is like, see Visit Florida or Caladesi Beach.

This white-sand beach is secluded and on many days you’ll be able to watch dolphin splashing about just off the shore.  

If you’re a sea shell collector, go early in the morning and prepare to be blown away. 

You can have a simple lunch at the Caladesi Cafe where you can grab a hot dog or an ice cream (the food’s nothing to get excited about – bring a bag lunch if you can).  Beach chairs and umbrellas are also available, and on most days, our friend Bonnie will be there to help set up your chairs.  Bonnie even supplies sand buckets and shovels for the kids if you forget yours. 

I don’t know about you, but it’s the first day of summer and the lightening and thunder outside right now are amazing – but we’re ready to stop by Steve’s Produce stand in Palm Harbor and pick up a peach.  And head for the beach.
