We recently visited Dunedin (for the second time!), and it did not disappoint.

Breweries We Loved
Dunedin Brewery: As Florida's oldest craft brewery, Dunedin Brewery has been serving beer enthusiasts since 1996. Their handcrafted brews, live music & other taproom events, and vibrant atmosphere make it a must-visit destination for beer lovers. Our favorite thing, though? The "Keep Dunedin Weird" mural outside. We love to see it!
Woodwright Brewery: Known for its small-batch, artisanal beers, Woodwright Brewery is a hidden gem nestled in downtown Dunedin. The cozy taproom offers a variety of brews. When we asked the bartender what they recommended, their response was, "We don't make bad beer." And they were not wrong.
7venth Sun Brewing Company: With a focus on innovation and quality, 7venth Sun Brewing Company offers a diverse selection of beers. From traditional styles to experimental brews, this brewery's taproom invites you to embark on a flavorsome journey. While this taproom is a bit smaller, they do have a covered outdoor space where you can enjoy your brews on a sunny day!
Active Things To Do
Pinellas Trail: Lace up your sneakers or hop on a bike and explore the famous Pinellas Trail. This 47-mile paved trail winds through Dunedin, providing a scenic route for walking, jogging, cycling, and rollerblading. Enjoy the refreshing breeze and immerse yourself in nature as you traverse this fantastic trail. The trail is conveniently right around the corner from The Fenway (our favorite hotel to stay at while in Dunedin!), and it's our favorite way to scoot into town!
Honeymoon Island State Park: Just a short distance from Dunedin, Honeymoon Island State Park awaits outdoor enthusiasts with its pristine beaches, nature trails, and diverse wildlife. Explore the park's nature trails, go swimming, kayaking, or simply relax on the sun-kissed shores. Definitely bring an umbrella for the beach in the Summer, as well as a lot of sunscreen!
Additional Things We Loved
Seeds: Uniting plant lovers and craft beer enthusiasts, Seeds is a unique plant store with a bar. Browse through an extensive collection of plants, succulents, and terrariums while sipping on a refreshing craft beer. It's an experience that seamlessly combines nature and brews. Let's be honest, we walked out with a plant (and it has a new home in Charlotte).
Dunedin Downtown Market: Indulge in the vibrant local community at the Dunedin Downtown Market. Discover an array of fresh produce, artisanal food, handmade crafts, local coffee, and live music. This bustling market showcases the town's vibrant spirit and offers something for everyone.
