    I had a model for this one... haha.

    Very chilly morning to take in the sunrise!! Definitely a well known spot for photos as I saw more people here than I have at any of my other morning locations from professional photographers to tourists. They also have a boat ramp and you can fish off the pier where while we were walking by a fisherman, he was reeling in some type of shark but lost it. It jump out of out water and scared the girls though. LOL. Lots of different areas to wander around to for the photos so can be a good repeat location.

    Nice to see people fishing on the pier. They had hand washing station and sitting area under the covered end.

    I'm surprised to find this tiny pier has a yelp page. There isn't much to it. You can park your boats, cars and bikes and walk around downtown Safety Harbor. There is a park with walking trails, public bathrooms, benches, and plenty of scenery. The pier itself is long and wooden. Not too rickety. The narrow walkway caters to fishermen as there are a couple of wash stations. The end of the pier is serene and peaceful. The benches underneath the rooftop offer a shady escape from the sun to enjoy the view. If you stare out into the sparkling bay long enough you many see dolphins and boats. The pier faces south, so, even though you're on the water you don't face sunset. The sky tends to be rather incredible regardless. It never hurts to venture out to the pier at dusk. One of my favorite local spots.

    On a sunny Saturday afternoon I was driving around the downtown Safety Harbor area, and drove along Safety Harbor's version of Bayshore Boulevard to check out the upper end of Tampa Bay. Then I circled back to just south of the Safety Harbor Spa and parked my car near the marina along Veterans Memorial Lane. You can get out and walk along past the boats, and then wander out to the Safety Harbor Fishing Pier. The walkway to the pier is a sturdy wooden boardwalk with high railings all the way out to the covered gazebo at the very end. Along the way you'll see a number of people with fishing poles and casting nets trying their luck with the little fishies in the brackish water below. There are a couple of cleaning stations along the walkway, and you can expect to see people slicing bait, restringing their hooks, and cleaning their catches as you walk out to the end of the pier. The gazebo at the far end is quite large with several benches, and most people walk out to the end to take in the view of the Bay with the kayakers, paddle boarders, and various boats. If you're lucky you'll see dolphins and possibly manatee, and a whole host of pelicans and gulls. I watched a couple of people hauling in mullet, and most were practicing the fine art of catch and release with their fish. It's a very pleasant spot to enjoy a sunny afternoon, or even some moonlight fishing, but don't expect to be hauling in any great big whoppers as this is the Bay and the best you'll find will be mullet.

    Take a right at the end of Main Street and you will find your way to the Safety Harbor Pier. Right behind the Safety Harbor Resort and Spa. You will pass by the marina and Veterans Memorial Park. A nice shady spot to watch the boats go by. I was glad to see the way the pier is well maintained and you will see the fishermen trying their luck. We spotted a manatee and I've heard it is also a good spot for dolphin sightings. They have kayak and paddleboard rentals that may be associated with the resort. The small park and pier is totally free to enjoy. I think the sunsets would be killer to view from the pier.

    Nice little park that is clean and well manicured. The pier has some shelter at the end from the rain or sun. There were a few fish cleaning stations that had running water available. I will say the water is extremely shallow so you most likely are not getting any fish here unless you go during the cooler months. So don't come for the fishing but go for a nice walk and some great views of the bay.

My husband and I had a wonderful time bouncing around to find different places to snorkel. We've never snorkeled in the area so we didn't know what we were looking for. The knowledgeable WKT crew had many suggestions and found spaces where we could enjoy the waters and sea creatures away from the crowds. The activities: We got to see the fort ruins, saw wildlife in the seagrass, and hung out in the sandbars where we found sand dollars and shells with every step. The ride: The World Cat was impressively stable on choppy water and operated smoothly. There is a sink and head to make those long outings comfortable. There is plenty of seating. A few people may be able to recline in the bow under a retractable bimini cover. The size of the boat made it possible for us to get into shallow areas and anchor wherever we wanted. If you're visiting the area or are a local looking for a private boat with a captain to give your small group a wonderful, custom tour, Wayward is the way to go!

    This was the highlight of our vacation to Clearwater Beach…read more We had SUCH a great time on the water with Captain Andrew. He took us on a private pontoon ride and pointed out all these crazy expensive houses that belong to famous people. He also played some awesome reggae music that fit the vibe so perfectly. An unexpected highlight was the dolphins. YES, DOLPHINS! Like, right next to the pontoon! There was a playful baby dolphin that kept swimming up next to us and blowing water. It was so cool to see an actual, real-life dolphin so close and in the wild! The tour lets you choose between renting a kayak or a paddle board. You don't have to decide until you get there. I chose paddle boarding, which was much easier than I had anticipated. I steered myself into the trees a few times, but I mostly got the hang of it. (; We paddle boarded to a BEAUTIFUL, remote part of the beach. We were barely south of Caladesi island, where the beach was covered in seashells, and there was no one around. It was picturesque -- white sand, clear blue water, waves. And it was a place that we wouldn't have been to on our own. It was breathtakingly beautiful. To top it off, we didn't have to worry about bringing our phones with us to take pictures since Andrew took pictures for us on his phone and shared them with us through text. It totally added to the tranquility and was an above-and-beyond aspect of the tour. When I come back to Clearwater Beach, I am 100% booking a tour with Paddle Out Adventures again!!

    Great time and a great captain! He took his time showing us how to paddle board and even took us to…read morefind dolphins.
