Caddy's on the Beach

From the coastal highway that runs down St. Petersburg's Treasure Island, it's easy to miss the one story white facade of Caddy's on the Beach. Approach from the sand, however, and you'll wonder how anyone could miss the two story restaurant and bar complex. Right on the beach, this double decker bar and grill is a favorite of locals and party-goers. Revelers in tropically hued bikinis and board shorts festoon the balcony at Caddy's, most all of them with a similarly bright cocktail in hand. For hungrier patrons, Caddy's offers an overwhelmingly long menu that focuses on smoky barbecue fare rather than the area's typical seafood spread. With a minimum purchase, guests can also commandeer a private cabana right on the beach for private sunset views with full service.

Open daily for lunch and dinner, Miguel's Mexican Seafood & Grill has been serving authentic Mexican cuisine since 1992. With menu items like traditional Mexican tacos, burritos and enchiladas prepared perfectly, there is no surprise when grilled items including shrimp fajitas and carne asada, or a thick cut of steak such as the bisec veracruz prime filet or premium bone-in rib-eye, is served. A kid's menu is available and, for a lighter meal, select from a variety of dishes from one of Miguel's daily specials. Reservations are accepted for groups of six or more.
