Dunedin

Dunedin is a charming coastal city on Florida’s Gulf Coast, known for its strong Scottish heritage and vibrant downtown. Its name comes from the Scottish Gaelic word for Edinburgh, Dun Eideann. The city celebrates this connection with annual events like the Highland Games and the Celtic Music Festivals.

Located just north of Clearwater, Dunedin is a destination for outdoor enthusiasts. It is the gateway to two of Florida’s top beaches, Honeymoon Island and the ferry-accessible Caladesi Island State Park.

The city’s walkable downtown is a hub of activity, with numerous independent shops, art galleries, restaurants, and Florida’s oldest craft brewery.

Dunedin is also very bicycle-friendly, featuring the Pinellas Trail, a 45-mile scenic path that runs through the city. It is the spring training home for the Toronto Blue Jays, and its waterfront parks offer beautiful views of St. Joseph Sound and the Gulf waters.

This Florida town offers a relaxed pace and a lively, diverse community spirit.
