    Great steaks on Fridays. The club is open to members of a reciprocal club. Easy access to all the venues in Clearwater Beach. Friendly staff.
    A note: the new general manager is Michael Ciaccio.

    Clean showers, nice pool.
    No frills marina. Some very nice live-aboards ands some not so nice.
    Winn-Dixie store half a mile away, good for re-provisioning.

    Avoid this facility. Arrived around 14:00 on a Friday, had reservations (already paid), no electricity at the docks. No one answered the VHF, or the telephone. Ended going to another place.

    Nice anchorage, decent holding ground. Good protection from West and North-west winds. Open to East and South-east winds. Great beach for swimming during the warmer months. This is an official rookery, so pets are discouraged during mating and nesting season, but still some people will have their pets on the beach. Pets are allowed on the water's edge as long as they do not interfere with nesting birds. It is a favorite hang-out for the local boating community.
