Steps from Sand Key Condos and the Beach

Recently I wrote about the Dog Days of Summer on Sand Key Beach Clearwater, Florida. We enjoyed the beach and watching both the Sea Screamer and the Pirate Ship pass by.

Well after a long day at the beach we were reminded that there is nothing is better than cooling off at Ryan’s Ice Cream & Yogurt with a truly decadent sweet treat. The funny thing is the name is a bit deceiving because they don’t actually serve yogurt - but they do serve gourmet a large variety of ice creams, sorbets, shakes, smoothies, cakes, pies and even rainbow snow cones.

Ryan’s is one of the 20 shoppes that makes up the The Shoppes on Sand Key - across the street many of Sand Keys luxury waterfront condos.

The Shoppes on Sand Key are the only stand alone retail establishment on Sand Key so they get quite a bit of business from the people living and staying in the Sand Key condos and from locals like us. There are deli’s, resturants, tropical clothing stores, Dunkin Donuts and our favorite ice cream shops - Ryans!

Ryan’s is family owned and offers a variety of great ice cream flavors and even fancy waffle cones, dipped in chocolate with sprinkles . They offer limited seating inside at 2 tables with the ceiling fans whirling above but with a great view outdoors we chose to eat our treats on the boardwalk overlooking Clearwater’s Intercoastal Waterway.

Last week I asked the boys to help me pick their favorite Ice Cream at Ryans. Well one settled on a family favorite - the Mint Chocolate Chip - so cool and refreshing. The other decided to drop the “Cream” and just do “ICE” as in Rainbow Sno-Cone…

Watching him enjoy his sno-cone was a great reminder of life’s simple pleasures!

Sometimes we forget to just savor the little joys of life - a sno cone, a great view, a cool summer breeze - Does life really get any better than this?

Ryan’s Ice Cream & Yogurt is located at Suite 118 of the Shoppes on Sand Key and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. Their phone number is (727) 596-0006 - Click the link below for directions to our favorite ice cream parlor.

Clearwater Beach Florida Restaurants

IMG_0159b Ok it’s Sunday and you’re thinking I want to relax, go somewhere casual and enjoy a laid back, with a friendly ambiance on Clearwater Beach - so where do you go? For the Haydon family, one of our favorite places on Clearwater Beach is the Palm Pavilion Beach side Grille.

It’s a family owned establishment and it’s been around for years. It is located right on the sugar white sands of North Clearwater Beach.

It is located across from the Clearwater Beach Recreation Center, Pool and Tennis courts. There is also a public boat dock where on a first come first serve basis you can tie up and enjoy this beachside grill.

Clearwater Beach Florida Fun Things to do

They always have live music on the deck and great casual seafood and specialty drinks - my favorite is the Grouper Sandwich.

Looking for a great place to watch our lovely Sunsets - this is prime Clearwater Beach real estate. And when the sun goes down - the fun still continues at the Palm Pavilion with music and dancing and even an occasional walk on the beach.

Enjoy the large wrap-around outside bar along their Key West style building gives lots of room for everyone to mingle and dance.
