Day Trips
Tropical Beverage – Clearwater, FL
by Josh on May.20, 2009, under Clearwater, Clearwater Beach, Day Trips, Florida Living, Gulf of Mexico

Just a quick car ride south from Spring Hill, FL, is the beautiful Clearwater Beach. After swimming in the tranquil blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico, and lounging on the powder soft white sands…what better way to end the day then a cold, refreshing, tropical beverage on the waterfront patio of Jimmy’s.
Kick back, listen to reggae, and watch the pirate ships go by.

Pine Island Beach – Hidden Gem in Hernando County, FL
by Josh on May.16, 2009, under Day Trips, Florida Living, Gulf of Mexico, Hernando County, Nature and Wildlife, Pine Island Beach

Pine Island Beach in Hernando County makes for an awesome day and only a few minutes away! When the weather is "perfect" (about 80% of the time here) make sure you go early or be prepared to wait – because it’s not a large beach, and fills up quickly! Once parking is full, you can either turn around, or wait for a spot to open up. Lunch at Willy’s Tropical Breeze Cafe is a fantastic way to get away from the work day – even if only for 30 minutes or so.

Monkey Island in Homosassa, FL
by Josh on May.10, 2009, under Day Trips, Homosassa Springs, Monkey Island, Nature and Wildlife

One of the neatest oddities in the area. Monkey Island is a small island in the middle of the Homosassa River. Right across from the Riverside Crabhouse Restaurant and the Homosassa River Resort – the owner of the resort put the monkeys on the island in the 1960’s to try and boost business. There are now 5 monkeys living and playing happily on the island and you can see them in person or on the monkey cam!

Also just a short ride from Spring Hill, FL, are the delicious Greek restaurants along Dodecanese Blvd. Enjoy a stroll along the Sponge Docks, or better yet, catch a tour and watch a diver harvesting sponges as they once did in this beautiful port town.
