Hey-o, let's go for a beach hike from Clearwater Beach to the far north end of Caladesi Island: ~9 miles roundtrip at ~3mph casual, yet constant pace on sand.

Low tide: 8a. Ankle deep water at most.
High tide: 210p. Thigh high water at most.

Public restrooms available at the Clearwater parking lot at start.
NO restrooms on Caladesi Island due to storm damage (plenty of privacy in the dunes or tree line, and last time some people went into the ocean for their relief).

Bring your credit card for paid hourly parking ($3/hr x ~5hrs w/lunch).
Bring State Park Pass or $2 for the Caladesi Island park entrance fee.
Bring other $ if you'd like to stay for lunch at Frenchy's Rockaway Grill which is located right by the parking lot; no need to move your car, but check your meter for time when we return.
