After finishing up a day of shopping in Downtown Dunedin, make a short trip to Josiah Cephas Weaver Park – a water front park popular with the avid fishers in the area!  We love that you can hang out on their 725 foot fishing pier and watch the sunset while being surrounded by water.  Their shaded picnic areas are the perfect way to enjoy some food amongst the ambiance created by this special sunset.  If you’re looking to something to do as well, bring the canoes along!  This park features a canoe and kayak launch so you can enjoy the view from in the water.

Known for being one of the untouched islands in the Gulf Coast, Caladesi Island is a perfect oasis right here in Tampa Bay.  The sunset here is stunning, but it does take some extra work!  Caladesi Island is only accessible by boat or kayak, and yes, it is worth the trip!  The beaches here are breathtaking, with crystal blue water, natural palm trees, and mangrove trees.  For a true paradise experience, you need to visit Caladesi Island!
