Caladesi Island: Pristine Perfection
You don't have to do anything on Caladesi Island. That's the joy of its three-mile beachfront. But, if you choose, you can actually, oh, get up, enjoy a picnic lunch under the pavilions and go angling, kayaking, birding or hiking through several distinct habitats.

Urban Escape in St. Petersburg
Rather than continuing on the trail, Nate and I decided to loop back to Dunedin and drive north to explore Tarpon Springs. We ended up biking 15 miles in all - still enough to burn off breakfast and warrant a huge Greek meal.
