Palm Harbor
Palm Harbor, situated 20 minutes north of Clearwater and 45 minutes west of Tampa, is a quiet, friendly Gulf Coast community where visitors can find world-class golf courses, Old Florida eateries, miles of hiking and biking trails, and scenic parks, all within a short driving distance of some of the state’s most popular beaches.
In Palm Harbor, golfers can play where the pros play. Innisbrook Resort, Palm Harbor’s top attraction, is the host of the PGA tour’s Valspar Championship, which takes place on the resort’s legendary Copperhead Course. A destination in itself, Innisbrook offers family-friendly vacation packages, condo-style accommodations, several on-site restaurants, six swimming pools, and a variety of events and programs for kids and adults.
History buffs won’t want to miss seeing the Palm Harbor Museum, and families of all ages will want to spend time at Wall Springs Park, which has an observation tower, playground, and butterfly garden. At the end of the day, the pier Pop Stansell Park is an ideal spot to take in the view of the sunset.
When it comes to dining, visitors will find a variety of eateries and cuisines. Old-Florida flair and fresh seafood can be found at Thirsty Marlin in Palm Harbor and Molly Goodheads Raw Bar in nearby Ozona. Stilt House Brewery, off the Fred Marquis Pinellas Trail, and de Bine Brewing Co. are perfect places to wind down, and Fireside Pizza Café is a family favorite for brick-oven pizza, wings, and more.
Can’t-miss beaches and attractions in the surrounding areas include Clearwater Marine Aquarium, just 10 miles south of Palm Harbor, Honeymoon Island, Caladesi Island, and Clearwater Beach.
