Sand Key Bridge to Clearwater Beach Real Estate - Perfect for Sunday’s Sunset
December 23rd, 2007 Categories: Clearwater Beach Florida, Sand Key Florida, Sunday Sunsets, Tampa Beach Living, Things to do, Waterfront Living
Sand Key – Clearwater Beach Florida Sunset Series
Clearwater Beach Florida – Today we captured a Clearwater Beach sunset taken from the foot of the Memorial Causeway bridge looking out as the sun set behind the high-span Sand Key Bridge which connects Clearwater Beach and Sand Key Florida.
The island you see in the picture in front of the Sand Key Bridge is actually a protected bird sanctuary – we have several here to provide a safe haven for our natural wildlife – we are also part of the Great Florida Bird Trail.
While today was an overcast day, you can see the sun still puts up a fight to pierce through the clouds and shine through onto Clearwater Beach and our intercoastal waterways.
The good news was that even though it was cloudy on Clearwater Beach and Sand Key Florida – it was still warm enough for Jet skiers to go out and play along Clearwater Beach as you can see in the picture above. Can you believe it was 78 degrees here today – what’s the tempature where you are?
You can see our local birds (Ibises) enjoying the peaceful water and relaxing sunset too.
I think they also enjoy fishing for their dinner here since it’s an active time for fish in Clearwater Harbor along our intercoastal shores and the Memorial Causeway Bridge.
If you have an area Tampa Beach sunset or even a great Pinellas County sunset you want to share just email it to me at cyndee@sandbarstosunsets.com; we’d love to feature it here.
Even on days that are cloudy in Clearwater Florida we seem to always have an inspirational sunset.
I was struck by the beauty of today’s sunset with the piercing rays and the more muted colors of light yellow and dusty blues and grey and then watched as it turn a fiery orange as it set on Clearwater Beach and Sand Key – it’s easy to see why we say we have the bluest backyards – from top to bottom we’ve got it all.
For all our Clearwater Beach Christmas and Holiday visitors, like the one seen below, enjoy your time with us and make sure you take time to see one of our best attraction…our nightly sunsets and the best part is it’s free!

Indian Rocks Beach Florida | This Year’s Holiday Boat Parade was Windy and Magically Wonderful in 2007
December 19th, 2007 Categories: Boating, Community News, Pinellas County, Tampa Beach Living, Things to do, Waterfront Living
Indian Rocks Beach Holiday Boat Parade is a local Tradition
Indian Rocks Beach Florida – This past weekend our family went to Jimmy Iguana’s Restuarant and Open Air Waterfront Bar, a popular dock and dine (boaters always welcome here) in the Holiday Inn Harborside. It was the perfect spot to watch this years Indian Rocks Beach’s Holiday Boat Parade of 2007.
Now after a glorius week of 83 degree weather in Tampa Bay Florida, Saturday we were in for a change and the coldfront brought strong winds which started kicking up earlier that day as I watched the Clearwater Holiday Parade.
By sunset the tempatures had start dropping but nothing could dampen the spirits of those watching the dancing Christmas light on all the decked out boats along our intercoastal waterway. These Tampa Bay boaters were creative and colorful and each decorated boat was unique. Here are a couple of videos showing some of the boats in this years Indian Rocks Beach Boat Parade.
When you watch the videos you can hear the wind whipping out there. The captains did a great job keeping all the boats from bumping into each other in the narrow canal as it took an extra 30 minutes for some of the boats to make it to the parade. I hope the video gave you a glimpse into Christmas along the Tampa Florida Beaches.
There was a fabulous display of lights, decorations, animation and music on the boats that participated in this years Indian Rocks Beach Holiday boat parade. I guess the $4000 in prize money helped energize everyone’s Christmas spirit.
I took some pictures (however I need a better flash – rumor is Santa is hoping to bring one this year :-)) I also took some videos to share the experience for those that weren’t able to be with us in Indian Rocks Beach Florida this year.
