Caretta’s on the Gulf

Clearwater Beach, FL

Overview

We haven't made it to this bar yet, but here is what we know

Caretta’s on the Gulf brings an elevated waterfront dining experience to Clearwater Beach that stands apart from the strip’s casual tiki bars without losing its Gulf-front soul. Named for the loggerhead sea turtle native to these waters, the setting is beautiful: outdoor dining over the Gulf, sweeping water views, and a menu that takes Florida coastal seafood seriously. Craft cocktails, fresh daily catches, and a polished atmosphere make this the choice when Clearwater Beach calls for something beyond frozen daiquiris and fish baskets. The kind of place where you book a table for sunset and end up staying well past dark.
