A bit about Dunedin Florida
INTRODUCTION: Just north of Clearwater, Dunedin is a fun little shore town. Downtown is walkable with several restaurants and bars. It's also just minutes from some gorgeous beaches.
BEACHES
- Honeymoon Island State Park
- Caladesi Island State Park (must take ferry from Honeymoon Island State Park, but worth the trip!)
- Dunedin Causeway
- Clearwater
- And beyond
TRANSPORTATION:
We're guessing most people will end up renting cars. However if you don't there are some options. Dunedin itself is pretty walkable. And there is trolley that runs along the beaches.
TROLLEY: The Jolley Trolley will connect you to Clearwater beach and other places.
AIRPORT: Super shuttle is $25. http://www.supershuttle.com/en/TPAAirportShuttleTampaBay.html

HISTORY
Dunedin reflects the rich American and Scottish heritage of its founding fathers. This charming village-like town has the distinction of being the oldest town south of Cedar Key. Early in its history, thanks to a dock built to accommodate schooners and sloops and the ingenuity of pioneers from as near as Georgia and as far as Scotland, Dunedin became one of Florida's chief seaport and trading centers. At one time Dunedin had the largest fleet of sailing vessels in Florida. Early settlers were primarily cotton and citrus growers, and it is hard to envision that most of what is now downtown was once a big cotton field. Today it's a sleepy little beach town that is just north of where most tourists go—making it quieter, low key and just a bit off the beaten path.
