Clearwater Beach · Bach Weekends
Florida's oldest beach pavilion, approaching its 100th year — daily breakfast, beachfront tables, live entertainment.
for the wedding weekend
The all-hours beach clubhouse: breakfast at 8, live music by afternoon, and unforgettable Gulf views the whole time.
The beachside pavilion at 10 Bay Esplanade is a Clearwater Beach institution approaching, by its own count, a 100-year milestone — Florida's oldest beach pavilion, stewarded by the Hamilton family for nearly 65 years and now run by Beachside Hospitality Group as Crabby's Beachside Pavilion: a place, in its words, for gathering, community, and unforgettable views of Clearwater Beach.
The rhythm suits every wedding-weekend hour: breakfast on the beach daily from 8 to 11, lunch and drinks through the afternoon, and an entertainment calendar that promises there's always something happening — check the live-music schedule and aim the welcome crowd or the bach crew at a band slot. Weekends run to 11 p.m.; the sand starts where the tables end.
