Downtown Dunedin has a nice mix of places to grab a bite or quench your thirst. You can purchase adult beverages, and on the weekends you can hear some live music. Try the Blur, at 325 Main Street. ★★★★

Dunedin Boat Ramp

Surprisingly, the City of Dunedin has a small boat ramp, just one block from the Dunedin entertainment district. It is only one lane, but has a good amount of parking spots. They offer various packages for local boaters, or a one time fee of $5. You can swing right over to the Gulf and hit Clearwater Beach. This ramp is about five miles north of Clearwater's Seminole Street Boat Ramp, which is multilane and is the most popular ramp around central and northern Pinellas County.
