My favorite Clearwater Beach video I've seen thus far, and that's coming from someone who lives here! Great job, awesome editing, really enjoyed it!
Wow, thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the awesome vid!! Super excited we added Clear Water to our Disney World trip now!!
Thanks for watching! Definitely stop in at a Frency's. Rockaway is our favorite but the food is good at all of them
thank you for sharing! i really like the cinematography and also so informative!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
Thank you for sharing! So informative. I enjoyed your video.
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
nice cinematography and thanks for the honest review on restaurants.
Appreciate you taking the time to watch our video. Thank you!
Just discovered this channel today and totally blown away on how good it is. I’m about 8 videos deep. The way you guys review restaurants is the smartest way I’ve ever seen on RUclips “would we eat here again” is a great benchmark. Editing and footage is awesome and it’s the best royalty free music I’ve heard. Can’t wait to see where you guys head next. You’ll get your 10k subs in 2023 just like you wished for 💯
Wow! Thank you for the praise. We have big plans and lofty goals this for this year. Fingers crossed
U guys did such a great job filming this! New sub here! 🏆👍👍
Thanks for the sub!
We love clearwater beach....been there a billion times and headed back soon. The Rock a way Grill Rocks. Love your channel....Cheers to The Detour Duo from your friends from Nova Scotia CANADA! You folks need to come north of the border.
We've been trying for a while now. Saving our travel funds and building a loose itinerary. We definitely need recommendations though
Just discovered it in april last year during the sand fest. Have been there 3 times since and going back for the sand fest in 3 weeks. It’s like a second home!
Definitely check out Bar Tiki for some awesome authentic tiki cocktails right behind crabbys! Also the drunken shrimp at the bait house is phenomenal!
Thanks for the tips! We'll be going for those drunken shrimp for sure!
Glad I watched this video right before my trip to Clearwater beach(tomorrow 1/1/2024),😅. Subscribed! Thank you for charging.
Welcome aboard! Hope the video was helpful
really well done video guys. keep it up!
Thanks a ton!
The music you use is so amazing and you use it very in place!
Thank you!! Finding music for the videos always takes awhile but the payoff is worth it
@@TheDetourDuo what's the name of this song for this video. Wanna add it to my list
@@KennethKing2793 Which song?
Eeekkkkk I landed on another video from u guys that I needed. We’re headed 2 Clearwater in June!! Between your love of trains and travel and the fact y’all look just like my man and I; we’ve got to become friends 😂
oh you're going to love clearwater! Check out our honeymoon island video too. If Clearwater beach gets too busy in the summer, that's a really nice alternative. Also, always down for new friends!!
Thank you for your enthusiasm and honesty! (Right from the beginning, my first impression, was that you both seem to enjoy making the video; and your honesty about the Bloody Mary! Also, what a nice comment from a Clearwater local! Keep up the great work!
Thank you Lori! We did enjoy making this video. We do try to be as honest and transparent as we can be with our videos. That probably means we get a few more negative comments from people who don't agree with our opinion, but then we get comments like this which makes it worthwhile.
Loved the video. I might be relocating to that area or possibly St Petersburg. I actually have an interview for some place in Clearwater, so at the moment, trying to get all the info I can about that area. So, thanks for posting this video and the footage of the area was definitely helpful as well so I can get a good view/idea of what's around there (visually).
Good luck in the interview! We actually lived in St Pete so we have a bunch of videos on our channel about the area
she got the boom boom shrimp!!!! my gf gets that on all our vacations aswell !!!!!
It's good!!!
Went to Rockaway like you said, drove from Disney just to eat here, the sever was out standing and food was great and service was fast.
Rockaway is always great! Glad you enjoyed it
I miss Pier 60 so much!! Clearwater is the best beach in Florida ❤❤❤
We love the beaches over on that side too
How do you think Clearwater Beach stacks up to St Pete Beach? Watch our St Pete Beach video and compare for yourself!

just found your channel... you guys are awesome! right next to Bourdain ! damn! Love your channel!
🙌 the highest compliment and the highest honor! Thank you.
Hopefully we can call Clearwater home!!! ❤
🤞 Good luck! Hope things work out for you
We’re heading to Clearwater soon and there was a lot of great info packed into this video! Thanks so much! Don’t mind me if I start binge-watching. 😆 Winter died a while ago though so she’s not longer at the aquarium but still a cool spot-very research-driven aquarium rather than for entertainment.. or at least it was the last time we were in the area.
hey! please do lol. Yeah, we heard about winter 😔 Definitely still a spot we need to make our way to still. We agree. We both rather the places that are more about conservation than ticket sales
Figuring out spring break. Driving your channel seems like you guys go everywhere
Haha yeah, we've probably been everywhere on the east coast. Looking to branch out to west coast and internationally starting this fall. Where are you looking for spring break?
Breakfast at Ryan’s Island Cafe is the highest rated on the beach.😊❤
We’ll give it a try next time we’re there!
Palm Pavilion is a really good spot for dinner and Maggie Mae's at Sand Key is great for breakfast!
Thanks for the tip!
Oooo garlic crab fries 🤤
So good!!!
Love your channel. Y'all stay eating. 😅
Haha that we do. The gym has been calling too 😅
Frenchy’s Grouper sandwich is delicious.
So true!
Another great place to eat is Island Way right next to the Clearwater marina!
Thanks for the tip!
The grouper sand is a must!!!!
Loving all the grouper dishes since moving to FL!
Been here nearly 20 years, ready to move to the other coast
Cool! Do you have a specific location in mind?
@@TheDetourDuo Jacksonville! I’m now married and have Two young boys - I grew up on the north side of town and hated it , but once I grew up and got out of the neighborhood I learned to love and appreciate the city. Moving to Jax for more opportunities
We used to “winter” in Clearwater. My FIL had a condo on the bay side & we were truck drivers. $$ not worth the risk in winter!
There used to be an awesome lil restaurant just as u cross to the beach side in the marina. It was a bait & tackle shop w/a fresh outdoor restaurant in back. They cooked whatever they caught that day. Last time we were there (like 2014 or 15), they had had a fire & it was closed. Really hope they re-opened!
Also, an AWESOME pierogi restaurant in the town. They also sold frozen pierogi’s to go. We would fill up our tiny truck freezer with/as many as we could fit when we left back to work… all kinds of pierogis!
That all sounds amazing! I wonder if that shop was able to open back up
I just looked on Google maps & looks like it is…. Best, freshest seafood we had ever had!

Love the outro in front of my mural 🙌 🙌 🙌
That's awesome! I wish we shot there earlier in the day to get better lighting. Where else have you created murals in the area. We might be able to showcase some more!
@@TheDetourDuo hey. Mostly south. Sarasota, bradenton, ft myers, Daytona too
@@TheDetourDuo ruclips.net/video/PU1iCFwArLc/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/_7K9IMb2_90/видео.html
These are incredible! Some great looking drone footage too
Great video! But a bit unsettling...Our family of 6 is vacationing there next week but it appears from your experience that just getting breakfast will be ~$160+tip! I was hoping to not have to mortgage the farm...😨 Is there a Mc D's nearby 😜
there's always a Mickey D's lol I'm sure there are cheaper restaurants for breakfast. Clear Sky just happened to be highly rated, but Frenchy's is pretty affordable. They just don't serve breakfast and open at 11
I could eat at Frenchies 7 days a week! Great food and drinks at affordable prices. Staff and service is great as well!
That's high praise!
Yes we found frenchies 8 years ago as we go to Clearwater every year. We have visited all over Florida up and down both coasts and Frenchies is the best food period!

You gotta go the The Gondolier - it’s been there over 30 years! Best restaurant on the beach, it’s on the south side, aside from there the Mexican restaurant across from the pier 60. - Marina Cantina.
Thanks for the recommendation. We'll have to check that out next time!
Hello, your video is very impressive, I come from a Vietnamese village❤
Thanks for coming, and welcome! We'll be headed to Vietnam in a few months
Me and my mom and sis are thinking about moving to Clearwater. Plus the music for these was nice what's the name of it
Good luck in your search, and thank you! Which part? There are a couple of different songs in the video
I love frenchy's I do not like crabbys, personally I think it is overpriced and more of a tourist trap. Right next to the Aquarium is a place called Island way Grill with a great happy hour and intercoastal views. You should do Caladesi, we take our boat up there and love it. Also, Dunedin is a great place with all the restaurants and bars as well, HOB brewery is great for sitting outside especially if you are a dog lover they are welcome there.
We will definitely check out Caladesi one of these days!
We are twice this couples age, but do share that we are also a mixed race couple which is what caught our attention. This Couple Together provides a Great amount of various much needed Travel information and Tips. Very Much Recommtrend.
Thank you for the kind words
I drive 1200 south for the grouper nuggets w/ hot sauce!
That sounds good right about now
What are your favorite spots in Clearwater?
Nice video.. so there shouldn't be any issue flying drone right? Planning next week trip so asking 😂 TIA.
Nope, you should be good! Just check with whichever app you use for your takeoff and landing zones. Have a great trip!!
@@TheDetourDuo Sure and last question, if travel to Tampa airport, there shouldn't be any issue at TSA with carrying drone? Flying first time with drone so wanted to make sure. It will be in my carry bag.
Yep! Just make sure the batteries are not in the drone and drained, if possible. You shouldn't have to take it out at Tampa. Hasn't been an issue but is always best practice to have your registration number on the body of the drone.
Hi guys. How are the beaches at Clearwater end of February 2023.
I have in mind to go beginning March. Is the sea water cold?
Crowded beaches?
Temps are around 80F.
Suggestions Please
We were there and Jan. and even then it wasn't cold or overly crowded. The water temp right now is probably around 70, by March 75. End of Feb. starts high traffic for visitors so you might find it crowded, but the beach is plenty long so that you can have some sand to yourself. Regardless of when you go, if you get to the beach before 10 you'll be able to pick whatever spot you want. If you do find it a bit crowded when you go, sand key beach is a quick drive and far less crowded
I want to connect with yall someday if you'll come down to the Northern Virginia area.
we moved from Norfolk about 9 months ago, but most of my family still lives in Maryland so we're around that way at least a couple times a year. We'll let you know if we stop through that area!
Across the parking lot from Frenchies is the Palm Pavillion (?) I found the food even better than Frenchies at about the same prices Maybe a few bucks more but there is free parking if you time it right. The crab shrimp chowder is unbelievable IMHO
We'll have to give that a try!
I wonder how Frenchies and the Pavillion did after the storm surge????@@TheDetourDuo
@@professorhoodoo yeah we've been kinda of checking around to see how places are doing. Where we are in St Pete wasn't hit hard so maybe Clearwater were okay. They're a lot closer to the water though so I'm sure there was a lot of flooding near Clearwater
My wife and I just spent the weekend in Northers Clearwater a couple miles north of Frencies... It was fantastic but I'm sure the storm surge has penetrated the Casita we rented since it was ground level. Three days of keeping the floor spotless with no sand and then HURRICANE!!!!! @@TheDetourDuo

👍🏾
I live in Clearwater but I neverrrr go to the beach 😮💨 it doesn’t grab my attention plus I don’t want to get darker lol
Do you think we need a car? How long did you stay?
We lived in Tampa so it wasn't a far drive for us. If you plan on just staying in Clearwater then you won't need a car. the strip is pretty easy to walk and they have a tram that runs frequently
Any restaurants in the area have alligator?
not 100% certain, but I'm pretty sure both Crabby's and Frency's have fried gator bites.
Yeah, just looked it up to confirm. They both have gator
@@TheDetourDuo Awe, thanks! You didn't have to look it up for me but I appreciate it! My favorite alligator is when they pound it out, bread it, and fry it like a chicken cutlet :)
One needs to know the best places.Lots of tourist trap there.
indeed
Have never had a good experience at Crabby' Bill's...just saying. Much prefer Frenchy's!
Frenchys was great 👍
Caladesea Island is worth it….
agreed
you remind me of lindsay lohan
Yes she does!
Great for tourist not for locals
or great for both 🤷🏾♂️
Fyi... Winter, Hemingway, and PJ are all no longer there. They all passed away :(
Oh no! That’s sad to hear!
Non Residents that had no clue what's really the best, nice video but not accurate information, just whatever they found and filmed. Nice effort, but fails miserably.
Thanks for the view
OMG what a ripoff for deepfried s***.
our favorite food group
Food and beach.... the only things worth anything in clearwater...And the food isn't anything that can't be found elsewhere in florida..If you like overcrowded beach , flat water and scientology then clearwater is for you
👍🏾 Thanks for watching!
You guys scientoligist? I dont really know how to spell it tbh
No, we have zero connection to scientology.
great place to visit the worst place to live this is a place made to play not stay
Can agree to that!
