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.
