Florida Beaches and Sunsets

FOX 13 Tampa’s chief meteorologist, Paul Dellegatto, shared this gorgeous sunset on Facebook yesterday, and it was a beautiful reminder of just how spectacular Florida’s beaches—and especially its sunsets—can be.

You don’t have to make it all the way to the Florida Keys to find incredible sunsets. Florida’s west coast has plenty of its own breathtaking views, from the beaches around Tampa Bay to the Gulf Coast and beyond. 🌴🌊

I’ve been to the Dunedin Causeway countless times, but somehow I’ve never stayed long enough to watch the sun disappear over the water.

Sunsets like this have a way of making you slow down and appreciate where you are. And judging by this photo, I think it’s time I made a trip to the Dunedin Causeway and stayed for the sunset.

Here are a few of my favorite beach and sunset shots from south of Dunedin that I’ve taken over the past month. 🌅
