Dunedin - what to do

Dunedin has SO many great spots, but, here are my top recommendations. If you are here for only one night, or several, here are my personal recommendations of spots not to miss in order to get the full Dunedin experience. Everything here is within walking distance of the apartment (along with most everything in Dunedin)...
Dunedin Marina is .5 mile / .08 km away. Walk to view the sunset, and grab a bite to eat at any one of the many restaurants in town.

Breweries

Dunedin is known for its breweries - there are now EIGHT of them! These are all linked in the Breweries area of the guide, but here are my top three...
Not the biggest place, and it sits right on a street, but my personal favorite in terms of the beer itself. Dunedin has alot of competition for beer, but 7venth Sun's IPA's and are the best (according to me ), along with the rest of their offerings. Grab a flight, and sit at the open air window, and hang with some locals debating baseball.

The OG! Florida's first and oldest craft brewery. A must visit while you're here. Good beer, two patios to sit outside on, or hang inside and take in the view of the brew cylinders and be sitting next to a brewmaster, and not even know it.

One of the newer breweries, but high on the list in terms of beer quality (again, according to me). A large tap list of their own beers, and they don't can (yet), so try as many as possible while you're here!

Dunedin - where to eat Breakfast / Brunch

Dunedin has SO many great spots. I've linked several places in the Local Area Guide, BUT, here are my top recommendations. If you are here for only one night, or several, here are my personal recommendations of spots not to miss in order to get the full Dunedin experience. Everything here is within walking distance of the apartment (along with most everything in Dunedin)...
Great brunch spot, for both weekdays or weekends. Get a table outside in the back, under the big covered outdoor back patio and sip bloody mary's or mimosas while scarfing down their famous cinnamon buns, and other pastry specials.

Quite small, but this converted house-turned-bakery is super quaint and worth checking out. The pastry chef is fantastic, and their offerings change daily. Informal and low-key with good breakfast sandwiches. Located right off of the Pinellas trail, so you can walk to it easily.

Small bar and restaurant that sits right above Dunedin Marina. Wear shorts and flip flops and sit outside and sweat a little, and grab fresh catch of the day fish tacos and regional beers, and you're set! Other fresh seafood options too.

The tiniest of spots. A converted ATM that is now a taco stand serving ala carte fresh tacos. Worth picking up a couple tacos on the go, and walking to park and take in some sights.

A texmex / asian fusion concept that works really well. Sit outside on the patio, or inside with their cool decor, and the local owner and head chef, Tracie, has daily specials that are super tasty. Great wine selection and a great spot for a dinner date.

Super tasty Mexican food, and long-time Dunedin staple restaurant right on Main Street. It is usually loud and boisterous, so have fun and take it all in. Everything on the menu is good, and filling.

Another Dunedin staple right on Main St. Walk to or from the marina for sunset, and grab a cone from this family-owned shop. Take a seat outside and smile while eating some homemade ice cream. What's not to like?
