Just discovered this channel today and totally blown away on how good it is. I’m about 8 videos deep. The way you guys review restaurants is the smartest way I’ve ever seen on KZread “would we eat here again” is a great benchmark. Editing and footage is awesome and it’s the best royalty free music I’ve heard. Can’t wait to see where you guys head next. You’ll get your 10k subs in 2023 just like you wished for 💯

Loved the video. I might be relocating to that area or possibly St Petersburg. I actually have an interview for some place in Clearwater, so at the moment, trying to get all the info I can about that area. So, thanks for posting this video and the footage of the area was definitely helpful as well so I can get a good view/idea of what's around there (visually).

We used to “winter” in Clearwater. My FIL had a condo on the bay side & we were truck drivers. $$ not worth the risk in winter! There used to be an awesome lil restaurant just as u cross to the beach side in the marina. It was a bait & tackle shop w/a fresh outdoor restaurant in back. They cooked whatever they caught that day. Last time we were there (like 2014 or 15), they had had a fire & it was closed. Really hope they re-opened! Also, an AWESOME pierogi restaurant in the town. They also sold frozen pierogi’s to go. We would fill up our tiny truck freezer with/as many as we could fit when we left back to work… all kinds of pierogis!

I love frenchy's I do not like crabbys, personally I think it is overpriced and more of a tourist trap.

Hi guys. How are the beaches at Clearwater end of February 2023. I have in mind to go beginning March. Is the sea water cold? Crowded beaches? Temps are around 80F. Suggestions Please

@TheDetourDuo

Жыл бұрын

We were there and Jan. and even then it wasn't cold or overly crowded. The water temp right now is probably around 70, by March 75. End of Feb. starts high traffic for visitors so you might find it crowded, but the beach is plenty long so that you can have some sand to yourself. Regardless of when you go, if you get to the beach before 10 you'll be able to pick whatever spot you want. If you do find it a bit crowded when you go, sand key beach is a quick drive and far less crowded
