The Brass Monkey
It’s a fabulous place just to chill out, watch the fishermen, chat with the locals, and chase pelicans. The whole deal!
It’s just a 2 1/4-hr. drive to this well-kept secret, one of the most beautiful beaches in Florida. Upon our approach, you’ll enjoy this community’s Caribbean-type feel with its narrow side streets and pastel-colored buildings.
We feel this lovely town is ideal for summer because of the short depth of the beach. As you can see below, there’s only a few steps from the coach to the water, great for easily conveying your personal beach chairs and umbrellas.
Just be sure to bring an ale home for your backyard buddy ~
We’ll enjoy a relaxing stay here
from about 11:00 ‘til 3:30.
The Hurricane Seafood Restaurant
But, if you’re feeling too relaxed to walk even one block (you lazy American, you), adjourn instead to the Hurricane Restaurant or the Brass Monkey right across the street from the beach for lunch.
Miller’s Ale House https://millersalehouse.com/menu/
The Seahorse restaurant near Merry Pier--which is open only until 2:30--would offer you the opportunity to have a bite to eat while watching boat traffic pass by on the channel.

This will only need to be done one time; not yearly as in the past. Please click on link below, print and sign, and give the form to your bus leader on this trip.
8th Avenue, just off the beach, offers whimsical shops and Paradise Sweets for a mid-afternoon stroll.
In Pass-A-Grille, prepare yourself for a laid-back refreshing dip into the past. The city’s motto is: “Practice the Art of Loving Life”
The stunning beach is immaculate and the water, a lovely shade of turquoise blue. The Paradise Grille is right on the beach, offering delicious fare, public restrooms/changing area, outside showers, and a little beach shop. As shown, there is a patio area with picnic tables and other seating. They have offered chair/umbrella rental in the past but a new vendor is taking over on June 1 so we do not know the price at this time. We will keep you informed if you express interest in rentals on your application.

******************************************
As if that isn’t enough to whet your appetite, here are the 3 restaurants (pictured below)--all within about 2 blocks of each other--that we are asking you to select from for our dinner in Tampa on the way home. Because their managers need to bring in sufficient staff and delicious food to meet our needs, they would appreciate knowing how many of us to expect. So please take a few minutes to look at their menus to help you decide which of these three might best interest you. (Note: If just a few of you change your minds that evening, that should not be a problem.)
And while two of the following restaurants are on Boy Scout Boulevard, we don’t expect you gentlemen to actually behave like one.
