Dunedin, Florida: Seagulls Don't Need Jet Skis This seagull couldn't give a feather's flick about jet skis. With the power of flight at his command, who needs a jet ski?

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Beach Jet Ski Action Warm sun, cool blue-green water, sandy shores... It must be Honeymoon Island Beach, in Dunedin, Florida. Fire up that jet ski, and you can skim across the water like James Bond.

Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Beach Jet Ski Fun

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Beach Jet Ski Fun Bring your own, or rent one. Lots of people enjoy blazing across the waters around Honeymoon Island. In the background, the condos and resorts of Clearwater Beach confirm your presence in a paradise of sunshine and seaside fun.

"... Betty Jo was startled to see something rising up in the water beneath her as she sped along. She twisted the throttle hard to get past the object so it would not strike the bottom of her jet ski. It rattled her to see the large shape looming up out of the blue-green water.

It broke the surface just behind her, and she screamed. It was a hand. Not just any hand. It was a HUGE hand! It was big enough to hold her jet ski in it like a bar of soap. She gunned it hard and sped away, watching over her shoulder as the hand rose out of the water, clutching at thin air as water drained off of it like a waterfall.

With a jolt, Betty Jo realized it was trying to grab her. Suddenly her blood ran cold. What now? What next? The hand turned slowly in her direction and sunk below the water's surface. This was not good. She didn't know where it was now, but she was sure it wasn't gone for good. She turned her craft toward the shore and gunned it again. There, ahead of her, it was coming up again, rising up from whatever dark depths had kept it hidden before now. She shrieked as she twisted the throttle as far as it would go and the hand shot up toward her speeding craft..."

Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Waters: Michael Phelps?

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Waters: Michael Phelps? Fishing Boat I don't know about you... but I think that looks a little like Michael Phelps on that there boat! Maybe the waters off Dunedin's Honeymoon Island Beach ARE his secret training waters? And maybe they need a boat that fast to keep up with him when he is in training?

"... 'But coach, why CAN'T I swim this fast in competition? I mean, I'm good, you know I am, and I'm faster than ANY of them!' Michael whined to his coach.

'Yes, I know you are, but remember, if they find out you have gills, and if anyone actually SEES you swimming as fast as a dolphin, the Navy with snatch you up for experiments and you will never see daylight again!'

'Now, get back in the water and show me your really slow stroke, the one we worked out where you will win the meet, but only just'..."

Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Beach: Michael Phelps' Secret Training Waters Now that the Beijing Olympics are over, I can finally reveal Michael Phelps' secret training location: Honeymoon Island Beach! No surprise he won 8 gold medals!

Okay, it's true, that is not Michael Phelps. And I doubt he has ever heard of Honeymoon Island, here in Dunedin, Florida. But it's a fun thought! That guy is awesome!

Don't forget: The Clearwater Jazz Holiday ends today in Coachman Park! Click here for the complete entertainment schedule.

Dunedin, Florida: Bass Tracker Off Honeymoon Island Beach

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Bass Tracker Off Honeymoon Island Beach Pro Crappie If you're like me, and you find the Four Reel in yesterday's post even beyond the means of your daydreams, maybe this is more our speed? But then, a Bass Tracker in the Gulf Of Mexico? Maybe they're after sea bass! :)

But then, the other name on the side of the boat (click to see it larger) is Pro Crappie 175. I really don't think you can find any crappie out there. But hey, what do I know? Still, seems like a nice boat to be able to buzz around in, if you stay close to shore that is. And how about that blue stretching away to forever behind them... cool.

Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Beach: Childish Joy

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Beach: Childish Joy There is nothing quite like the pure joy of childhood innocence. This young lady was having such a good time playing tag with the waves. When is the last time you made it out to Honeymoon Island Beach?

I had lunch with my beautiful niece the other day. Although grown and graduated from college now, I can remember her as a much younger girl. Life is an amazing adventure.

Dunedin, Florida: Dunedin Marina Pier Sunset

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Dunedin Marina Pier Sunset Have you been to the Dunedin Marina in the evening lately? It's really nice. The sunsets from the pier are awesome, and just as nice as from the beach, without having to manage all that traffic.

That being said, it's also nice to get down to the beach to. Hey, don't forget Honeymoon Island Beach. Although the main beach can be a bit rocky, the pet beach is really quite nice in my experience.

Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Beach People 5

Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Beach People 5 There is so much to learn, so much to experience, at the beach.

Do you think the man is teaching the boy something about sea life, or life on the beach, or what the beach is all about? Is he showing him an interesting shell or rock he found? Maybe he is showing him a piece of frosted beach glass? Do you teach your children when you are on the beach?

Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Beach: Kayak Fishing

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Beach Kayak Fishing Foolish or Brave? It's not for me to say.

But I will say this... the word precarious came to mind as watched these guys set out in their inflatable kayak to go fishing. In some ways it doesn't make sense. But as I know a few young men who would go out in almost anything, just to get out on the water and be fishing, I think I understand what might drive these two young men to get on this thing and go fishing.

Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Beach People 4

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Beach People 4 I love that the beach is an everyone kind of place.

When I think about the beach, it seems like the kind of place that we can all enjoy. Some more than others, some less, but most everyone can enjoy the beach. That is probably because you can experience it with any of the five senses, without having to work at it. What about you, have you been to a beach lately?

Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Beach For The Dogs

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Beach For The Dogs & Pets On the other hand, if you don't feel like bringing the family, or the kids, you could just bring your dog instead!

That's right, as I have posted about before, Honeymoon Island has a big, beautiful beach area set aside where you can bring your pet. I have only ever seen dogs out there so far, but who knows... maybe you have a cat that likes the beach! There is even a dog washing station right at the edge of the parking lot. Pretty cool.

And be sure to check out We Love Dog Pictures.

Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Ferry To Caladesi Island

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Ferry To Caladesi Island If you are feeling like something a little more exotic than just sitting on the beach at Honeymoon Island State Park, you might like to take the ferry over to Caladesi Island State Park.

The Ferry runs regularly all day. Caladesi Island has no access other than by private boat or the Ferry. Or rather, that used to be the case, until a hurricane closed the narrow pass that separated the island from North Clearwater Beach. So now you can walk to Caladesi, but it is a long, long walk from the nearest public parking!

Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Beach People

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Beach People A recent excursion out to Honeymoon Island to walk on the beach has yielded many a wonderful shot of beach people and the goings on at the beach.

This is when you know you are finally at the beach, crossing the dunes on the boardwalk. Clumpety-clumping on down to the sand with all manner of gear and refreshment hanging on arms, shoulders, neck and hands. WHAT FUN!

Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Beach: Sea Oats Plantings

Click for larger picture in a new window
Dunedin, Florida: Honeymoon Island Beach: Sea Oats Plantings I'll be honest with you, I am not entirely certain that these are Sea Oats, but that is what they remind me of. No matter what they are, they look neat if you ask me. I like that there is an effort being made to 'restore' the beach to a more natural state. It seems like we humans create lots of situations that require restoring, rebuilding or repairing.

This picture was taken when it was just about dark. I love my Nikon D80. With a little tweaking, it becomes a workable image, and a neat look.

Dunedin, Florida: Tubular Tuesday: Wormhole Trip To Clearwater Beach

Click for larger picture in a new window
Clearwater Beach, Florida: Homes & Housing Options For Living Or Vacationing Welcome to Tubular Tuesday, when we take a tube ride through a wormhole and end up somewhere else! Today, we end up on Clearwater Beach, Florida, checking out some rental and vacation housing options on the beach...

When it comes to staying on the beach, whether that means living out there, or taking a holiday or vacation, you will find many options for housing. Some will be more reasonable than others, some will be more sophisticated that others. This picture, with its fine balance of sand and sky and housing, shows what some of those options look like.

Wow, it sounds like I am practicing to become a vacation brochure writer! Oy! Well, here is another part of Clearwater Beach. So you get a little more idea what it is all about down here. Come visit, bring lots of money, or whatever you've got, and have a bunch of fun in the sun. Please... don't forget your sunscreen!

(I hope you enjoyed this recent post from my Clearwater Beach Daily Photo website.)
