There’s now a chance to sample the beach restaurant scene, $10 at a time.
Tampa Bay Beaches Chamber has announced Taste of the Beaches a nine-day event featuring more than 50 restaurants from casual staples like Indian Rocks Beach’s Coco’s Crush Bar (offering crab cake sandwich with a side and the boozy Orange Crush drink) to fancier spots like Clearwater Beach’s Shor (serving its fried conch and snapper tostada).
Tickets, which are $10 each, are available at four locations: Tampa Bay Beaches Chamber office in St. Pete Beach, Wyne on Indian Rocks Beach, or and the Smith & Associates and NextHome real estate offices in St. Pete.
“Every Taste ticket helps bring customers through their doors, and we’re proud that a portion of the proceeds will also support Habitat for Humanity Tampa Bay Gulfside,” Charlie Justice, President and CEO of the Tampa Bay Beaches Chamber of Commerce said in a press release.
