Clearwater Beach

This afternoon we checked out Clearwater Beach. Actually, we went just slightly North to North Beach because you can bring your dog! Our plan sounded better in theory. It is hot at the beach and the water is starting to get really warm. It was still fun, but I think it was too hot for Blue. We gave her lots of water to drink and I kept putting water on her back to keep her cool. But I think we'll wait until it cools off a lot before we bring her back to the beach. She did really well. She doesn't like water, so she wouldn't swim with us. She stayed on our beach mats while we were in the water. She's not the kind of dog that runs away. Although she did chase a bird. She also enjoyed digging in the sand.

The beach itself was really pretty. All the tourists hang around Clearwater Beach, near the condos and hotels, which gets pretty busy. We went just a little North and there weren't very many people.

I realized I only took pictures of Blue and of no one else. I guess that was fine since this was her first time to the beach. However, I did get some videos.


Despite her smiles, she didn't have the best time.
