A favorite lunch spot on Clearwater Beach

Palm Pavilion, Clearwater Beach, FL

One of our favorite lunch stops is directly on the beach in Clearwater. Fantastic burgers, lobster salad wraps, cold drinks and a sea breeze.

They offer both inside seating with a large bar and plenty of tables are available outside on the open air deck. The railing is about 50 yards from the water’s edge. There’s plenty of free parking (perhaps with the exception of during Spring Break) with a lot reserved for patrons. The entire deck is covered overhead with large awnings that are electrically extended as the sun moves overhead. The Palm Pavilion is also a great vantage point from which to watch the technicolor sunsets develop in the late afternoons, perhaps with a favorite beverage close by. First the sky and then the sea turn a brilliant orange on a perfect day and it’s nearly as beautiful on any and every other day.

Good music with which to while away an afternoon.

There’s always a talented musician singing and playing audience requests every afternoon. The music, the food, and the scenery make for a perfect place to spend valuable time doing absolutely nothing beautifully.
