Wanna party like a rock star on the beach? Unfortunately it is illegal to drink alcohol on most Pinellas County’s beaches, unless you know about these next five locations. Here is our list of the best beaches to legally drink on in Tampa Bay.

——————————–

The Beach at Caddy’s
9000 W Gulf Blvd., Treasure Island, FL 33706
(727) 360-4993 | www.caddysotb.com

Sunset Beach in Treasure Island is a great option if you want the Florida barefoot on the beach alcohol loaded party scene. This beach is a meat market that is packed with hot babes and drooling guys…old and young. If you are going to lay out and drink on the beach get there early or you will be stuck at a picnic table on the beach wiggling your toes in the sand while drinking a brew. Life sucks on the beach right? Tip: Parking at Caddy’s cost $5 and is valet. There are a few parking meters down the street.

Shephard’s Beach Resort
619 South Gulfview Blvd., Clearwater Beach, FL 33767
(727) 441-6875 | www.shephards.com

Shephard’s is the hottest party beach because its bar and a private beach all in one. Boaters drop anchor wade to the shore and party all day and night at this hip and young hang out. The beach Tiki Bar & Margarita Grill offers nonstop music, tropical drinks and lots of half-naked bodies getting drunk on Shepard’s private beach or great pool. After the sun goes down meander over to the Wave nightclub featuring awesome live hip hop bands and deejays or you can dance the night away at the trendy Sunset Lounge. Tip: if you get too drunk you can always get a room Shepherd’s because they are a hotel too.

Whiskey Joe’s Barefoot Bar   
7720 W Courtney Campbell Causeway | Tampa, FL 33607
813-281-0770 | www.whiskeyjoestampa.com  

Only Boat-up barefoot beach bar on the Tampa side of the bay. You can drive your boat, waverunner or raft, right up to the sand. Eat, party, play and suntan on their private beach. The tiki hut has plenty of TV’s to watch sports while downing a beer in your barefeet. Whiskey Joe’s has a full Bar with great seafood, oysters, sliders, po’boys and fish tacos. There’s Corn Hole, Firepits, live bands and booze specials. There is no other place quite like it. It’s young hot and fun.

Three Rooker Bar

Three Rooker Bar is not your typical bar because it’s really a small Island or sand bar just of the coast of northern Pinellas. Partying here is the nautical equivalent of tailgating in a parking lot before a football game. Boaters just drop anchor and get crazy. On weekends it’s crowded and loud but the water is Caribbean blue and the sand is white and sugary soft. This party paradise is accessible only by boat or personal watercraft. The closest ramp is probably Dunedin Marina and Anclote Park.  Click here for a link to boat rental companies or for more information on beautiful Three Rooker Bar click here.  Tip: No glass allowed on the beach. Pets must remain on a leash of 6′ or less in all other areas, except in water.

Undertow Beach Bar
3850 Gulf Blvd. / St Pete Beach 33706
(727) 368-9000 |  www.shephards.com

The Undertow on the beach off of Gulf Blvd in St Pete Beach. There is an open-air bar with stream running down the bar top which is cool, but its the bartenders that catch everyone’s attention. The bartenders are mostly female and wore very small bikinis. Outside are numerous tables and chairs to watch more hard body action and a eventually sunset. During the day you can also play volleyball with other patrons, or kickback enjoy the music and the beach hotties. For you night owls the Undertow has a Midnight Happy Hour 12am to 3am Monday – Sunday.
