I don’t like it. Not the place–the name, gomer. C’mon, to those Floridians reading this blog tell me that you would call something cultural. Most Floridians would laugh if you called something cultural. They’d probably look at you a little sideways, while the tobaccee runs down the side of their mouth.
But other than the name, I ain’t got a bad thing to say about this coast. There are so many things to do, from eating on the beach, to fishing in the Gulf of Mexico while looking at the grand monument to Florida: The Sunshine Skyway, to partaking in the, yes, cultural events. I have fished so many times on both sides of the Skyway. Both are great. For me it was closer to fish from Cockroach Bay, but Holmes Beach also has its beauty. I’ve fished by with buddies and with fishing guides Shawn Crawford and Matt Ercoli.
Dawn Henthorn, who we’ve mentioned in other blogs, writes another nice article on this coast. One of the quaint places–well, I guess that all depends on if the place is overrun by snowbirds or not– to eat on the beach is The Sandbar. For you pancake aficionados, there is Cafe on The Beach that serves all-you-can-eat pancakes.
