Dunedin Causeway

The causeway is such a nice spot to spend a few hours or the entire day enjoying the sun, water, birds and people. It’s easy to maneuver, plenty of parking areas and has a place to rent paddleboards and kayaks. Take your beach chair or blanket to relax, fish a bit, wade or take a walk along the water.
Just an easy excuse to get out and enjoy our area!

Facing South, looking toward Caladesi Island, where they rent kayaks? Favorite place to decompress!

This use to be a fave place for me to go with my doggie Mocha Coconut when I didn’t want to pay the entrance fee to get in to Honeymoon Island, or when I wasn’t sure what the weather was doing. It was somewhere u can park and put your beach chairs down and be done. Bask in the sunshine and relax.
Now, dogs are not allowed on the causewau. Huge snakes also come ashore. No thank u! Also, it’s mostly yucky gloppy sand and filled with the seaweed or sea plants. So yes, no more. No intersante, I’ll pay the admission price to get into Honeymoon Island. If you do go here, there’s a bathroom & shower.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve visited this part of the bay.
Shame on me! This place is fantastic, better still a great place!
Clean, relaxing offering fishing, walking and our great Florida sunsets.
This is what Florida is all about.
Hope they don’t extend the honeymoon island toll booth further north!
Only kidding, don’t want to give anyone any ideas!!!
This evening enjoy a sunset.

To me this represents the epitome of why many move to Florida. Surrounded by the mighty & awesome Gulf of Mexico, in all of its glorious splendor. A great walking bridge complete with condos, palm trees, benches and many other locals & tourists enjoying a walk, jog, bike ride, dog walk or drive.
This area you feel much more protected than say walking across the much busier Bay Way, in South Pinellas. This is a quiet area, good for reflection and just enjoying the water and sun or moon at its best. Personally I love this area of Pinellas and I am a proud native.
When that big hot firey sun, sets into the big Gulf of water, simply magnificent. It is a priceless view that is absolutely free. A must see for everyone and all ages#
What’s a girl to do? Keep loving & respecting the water and always appreciate all sunsets!

This is one of my favorite local beaches!
There is something here for everyone! Are you looking to get your jog on? There’s a big-​ass sidewalk! Wanna rent some paddlesport equipment? Cruise over to Sail Honeymoon! Want to just relax and soak in the sun? Park on the north side of the causeway, it’s usually a bit quieter over there.
Yes there are rocks and sometimes and abundance of seaweed but slip on some water shoes and you’ll hardly notice!
I’ve been coming here a lot lately with my new kayak. Just a heads up, boat traffic is heavy on the weekends. If you want to play it safe, do your paddling during the week when things are a bit quieter.

Monster trucks and drum circles
Seaweed
You will be cruised
Go to Howard Park instead.
It’s worth the drive

Great close by beach. If you go often get the annual pass. They need to open a line when driving in for pass hokders. You can wait a very long time to get in. Beach is nice gets very crowded. You need to get there early. Also I got stuck 2 days in Memorial Day weekend with the bridge stuck for 2 hrs.

Not perfect but… I love to run on this strip as do many of my running friends. It’s also an option to those who will not choose to go to Honeymoon Island Beach I live about 1.5 miles away! It’s nice that Frenchy’s has taken over the Outpost now. I always look forward to stopping by.
Honeymoon Sails rents kayaks so you can take them over to Caladesi Island Beach! There are also bathroom facilities and a food truck near by as well! Many will launch their watersport vehicles off the Causeway as well.
Going there for the sunsets alone is well worth it! The Midnight Run is held here at night on July 3 at 11:30pm. I also go during July 4^th for the fireworks

This is the place to go for us, being Dunedin residents. The pugs love coming here to walk, there are beautiful views of the Gulf of Mexico. Great place for sunsets, very peaceful.

For me, this is the closest beach to home besides Clearwater beach and I like it here because it’s a bit less hassle to get here than to the more popular Clearwater beach.
As far as activities go, there is alot to do here. You can rent kayaks or jetskis and lots of people are generally out on the water enjoying it, whether it be doing watersports, on their boat, or fishing from designated areas. As mentioned earlier, I prefer to come here sometimes because it’s easier to get to and less traffic than dealing with the beach, plus the parking is easier to locate and best of all it’s free.
The walking trail here is a great addition as well, it’s nice to walk over the bridge and take in the beautiful scenery of my home state. The only thing holding my review back from being 5 stars is the excessive amount of sharp rocks on the sand and in the water here. You definitely need to wear water shoes to avoid hurting your feet, so come prepared. The sand is not as smooth as other beaches, but I still really enjoy coming here and will return many times over the next few months during spring and summer season.

This is such a great place for walking fishing even renting SUP boards or kayaks great place to spend a day and they don’t hit you up for parking fees recommend it for anyone
Places to eat nearby and you can beach launch small boats. Come early to set up a good fishing spot bait shop nearby as you drive up to the water eating at frenchy’s outpost bar and grill try the grouper nuggets they are amazing very nice place to bring a date or to fly solo. Seems they always have beach or island live music playing on their patio. Love it here wide open on cold days best place to be if you avoid crowds. So what are you waiting for jump in the water is warmer than the Great Lakes love the palm trees that line the causeway. Make the most of living in Tampa Marina close by and lots of waterfront to enjoy. Why wait head out now. Enjoy the Floridian winter

What an adorably romantical spot for a kick ass sunset! I haven’t figured out what the black looking seeds in the sand are yet, but they glisten beautifully as the sun sinks slowly below the horizon. The contrast of black seeds in the white sands gives it an otherworldly feel, and the benches provide a thoughtful snuggling platform for couples. The well kept sidewalk is great for runners, and dog walkers as well, and easy assessable trash cans help keep the view looking untouched by human hands. Ahhhh Florida, thanks for reminding me why I choose to live here!

Nice place, always clean and never crowded. Great place to snap some pics of the Florida sunset. Plenty of trash cans, park benches and palm trees!

It’s a great location to enjoy your watersports without having to deal with the bigger Gulf waves. Just be careful, there are some protected Islands in the causeway that can cause you to rack up to $ 500 in fines.

This is my go to spot for a quick stand up paddle board ride
It’s a nice half mile jaunt to Caladesi from the south side
On a weekday there are not too many boats creating waves
which makes this one of my paddle board fav’s
and the fact that I almost always see dolphins playing is so cool
I get excited every time, pointing, almost falling, lookin’ like a fool
This isn’t your spot to hang out in beach bars
It’s more for locals avoiding all the crazy, Clearwater cars
They offer kayak rentals if that’s your thing
Food, drinks, and sunscreen you should bring
Overall, a convenient beach for an early morning jaunt
breezy air, little waves, free parking, what more could you want?

Still a great, convenient beach for northern Pinellas county! Avoid the crazy traffic getting to Clearwater and check this out. A few refined tips for the savvy traveler:
–You can get some great food, drinks, and a beachy atmosphere at the Island Outpost restaurant just as you start down the causeway. Live music every night, cheap beer, and good seafood really help define the character of what the Dunedin Causeway has been needing
–The north (right as you’re driving out) side of the causeway is far more laid back and quiet than the south side. Great place to just stop, get out, and relax for a bit. Watch the birds diving for fish in the calm waters on this side, without the hustle and bustle of jetskis or as much traffic driving by. Bring cornhole if desired.
–The south side is always good for a bit more activity, swimming, and boating.

A great place to rent kayaks or watch the sunset while avoiding the tourists but a long way from a good meal or drink
