Downtown Dunedin’s Fred Marquis Pinellas Trail
In this eccentric town, you’ll feel the funky rhythm even if you’re not wearing headphones. Park your car in Hammock Park and then drive south to downtown Dunedin. As you approach Main Street, you’ll notice attractive stores, pubs, and restaurants. Eli’s Bar-B-Que, Dunedin Brewery, and Café Alfresco are a few of our favorites. For a glimpse of the Dunedin Marina, take a detour west on Main Street to Edgewater Park. Remember, you’re here to work out! It’s all too simple to become sidetracked.
Courtney Campbell Trail
This beautiful 9.5-mile route extends from Clearwater to Hillsborough County along the whole southern edge of the Courtney Campbell Causeway. The 45-foot-high bridge with panoramic views of Tampa Bay is the greatest part… these are Floridian hills, folks! Follow the trail to the Hillsborough side, which will lead you to Rocky Point, where you may stop for lunch and a cold beverage before making your journey back. Put on some sunblock!
Ream Wilson Clearwater Trail
The Ream Wilson Clearwater Trail is a great way to see some of Clearwater’s most beautiful parks. Begin at the Safety Harbor Marina and work your way south on the waterfront path that runs down Bayshore Blvd. Get thrilled when you arrive at Kapok Park since you’ve just passed 3 kilometers! Take a break to search for animals along Alligator Creek. A word of caution: swimming is not advised. Back on Safety Harbor’s lovely Main Street, indulge in some retail therapy and fine meals.
Walk on Clearwater Beach
Views of the sugar-white sand on Clearwater Beach will satisfy your sweet craving. From Pier 60 to the south end of the beach, the Beach Walk runs along Coronado Drive. Along the route, you’ll be enticed by a plethora of stores, restaurants, and pubs. Not sorry, sorry? Bring your beach gear to enjoy after your exercise because you’ll immediately discover why this is one of America’s Best Beaches.
Downtown St. Pete, North Bay Trail
This famous waterfront promenade through downtown St. Pete is jam-packed with local sights. Begin in Albert Whitted Park and follow the walk north through the Dali Museum and the St. Pete Pier. Are you thirsty yet? Stop by Hops and Props at the St. Petersburg Museum of History for a craft brew. Return to the walkway and go to Coffee Pot Bayou, taking care not to drool over the mansions in the Historic Old Northeast Neighborhood.
Fort De Soto Park Trail
As you walk the seven-mile paved track, let the old fort inspire you. As you drive by the dog park, take in the sights. Yes! If you’re lucky enough to have a dog as a jogging companion, they’re welcome here. You’ll also catch sights of some of the most stunning beaches in the United States… so put your bikini underneath those gym shorts and sprint right into the Gulf of Mexico. The entrance fee to the park is $5, but it’s well worth it for a full day at this nationally known beauty.
