Return to Caddy's on the Beach

The highlight of our first trip to the Tampa/St. Petersburg area of Florida as a family in 2011 was dinner at Caddy's on the Beach. So on our first night of our return trip back in March, we wanted to eat dinner somewhere that screamed, "YOUR VACATION HAS BEGUN."


Done.

While Caddy's is somewhat adult-oriented (lively bar, loud live music, etc.), it's a great spot to take the kids. Just sit outside at one of the picnic tables, and your little ones can play in the sand while you wait for you food or to pay the bill.


In fact, we brought Big Arrow's beach toys with us and he quickly planted himself under the table in his own personal sandbox. (After a long flight keeping two young kids happy, my husband and I were happy to let him entertain himself for a while so we could enjoy some adult conversation.)


I love a place where you can kick off your shoes and bury your feet in the sand. Or in this case, put your Crocs right up on the table.


Afterall, don't let shoes get in the way of a beautiful sunset.

  5. I don't think I've ever eaten at a restaurant right on the beach like that - so cool to be able to dig your toes into the sand while eating. Love the pic of the Big Arrow playing under the table - it's not everyday that your parents will let you do that in a restaurant!
