Tampa Bay Florida Gulf Coast Drive & St. Pete Beach Walk, LIVE Exploring (March 10, 2021)

hello everyone today is march 10th 2021 73 fahrenheit 23 celsius i am in clearwater florida today and we're going to explore the tampa bay area so just give me a few moments while i set this up i had a live stream earlier that i had to restart because the suction cup disconnected from the window windowsill windshield so hopefully this one will work better i use some water to wet the windshield area [Music] so [Music] okay i think we should be good let me just delete the other one because we don't need it anymore and also i need to enter my own live stream to put the comment in [Music] [Music] okay so i just pinned my message to the top i think we're good to go and kate unless the uh the suction cup mount fails again this time i think we should be all right but it's on pretty securely all right so let's get driving no one's behind me in this parking lot area [Music] okay let's make a right turn here and get out of this parking lot i actually know a left turn because that's better to get to the beach and i think i need to make a right on court streets yep court street is the next signal so that will be pretty fun so i'm gonna go towards clearwater beach which was a highlight of my trip here in florida and we're going to drive up clearwater beach down clearwater beach and maybe down the gulf of mexico coast to saint petersburg let's make a right here court street all right the pedestrian walk uh signals on but nobody's crossing the street so i think should be okay snow dove says do i know how to drive yes i do i have a driver's license but i don't really like driving in new york i try to drive only if i have to so we're going to drive on court street over the bridge to clearwater beach from downtown clearwater i'm gonna stay in this lane hopefully this drive will go pretty smoothly i think it's worth it to uh show this entire gulf coast dry because it's really picturesque i like the entire gulf coast i think according to google maps it should take about an hour to drive the gulf coast from clearwater beach to saint pete beach i think we're going to be encountering some traffic here so maybe it's going to take more than an hour text man saying what make and model am i driving it's a toyota camry not exactly sure the model it is but it has to be the newest one because there's only 1100 miles on it and i'll only be looking at the live stream if it's really really slow at a standstill like this or at a red light otherwise it's a little bit dangerous to interact with people so thank you for understanding that wow there's a lot of traffic up ahead i don't know if you see it but maybe i'll put it on regular mode this might look a little bit better for you instead of it being all distorted as saying fort de soto park is nice also the skyway bridge on the opposite end yeah i'll do the skyway bridge another time because i don't want to pay a toll to go over that bridge and then come back i'll do it when i actually want to go there towards sarasota i think i'll go there one day right now the time's around 12 15 p.m they're still doing um road services over here i think every all the lanes need to merge over to the right we might be here for a while ew saying it's a spring break traffic no i think they're just doing road work i'd driven past this before to make a regular video and they were doing some like uh mowing services on the trees and stuff there so that's what's causing a lot of this traffic there's a car about four cars ahead of me on the other lane they've got bicycles on the back that'll be pretty fun to ride a bicycle on the beach or wherever they need to go so so dt uk wants a shout out to the moderators today i always try to give shout outs to people if they're a moderator or not but the moderators do do a good job here keeping everything clean and civilized lauren sanyo has everyone anyone done a live stream cross country drive i don't even think that's possible because there's patches of bad service i even try to do a cross state live stream on the amtrak and that failed after like 10 minutes [Music] cell phone cell phone service in this country is uh not great in some areas it's got a long way to go but so far the service in the tampa bay area has been pretty good for me so far with my setup on the east coast of florida i had trouble and s saying the roundabout up ahead is always interesting to navigate in traffic it is it's a little bit tricky too this is a separate island to my right it's called uh island way in island estates so the left lane is closed up ahead so i actually don't even mind if the traffic's like this the entire way up and down the gulf coast the gulf coast you get to see more and maybe i can interact with people more because the traffic's moving so slowly but if i need to drive more than like five miles an hour then i won't be able to do that and even at slower speeds i need to concentrate on the road so so also to keep my phone from overheating i put in the windshield defroster and it's blowing cool cool air on the inside of the windshield melba beset with two pounds super chat thank you mal bessette s swan i can see the chats up to a certain point if it's too sunny if it's if i'm driving too quickly and i need to concentrate on the road then i will not be able to see the chat but i do not mind it just like this i've got a lot of patience all right so you should be able to see those tall buildings in front of me that's clear water beach i was there not too long ago walking along the beach and on the strip you gotta love that view in front of me it's gorgeous but not the view of the traffic though so it's because of frequent traffic like this is why i don't prefer driving in new york city i like to take public transportation bicycle scooter or even walk i'll be set with five pounds thank you again all right so this is officially clear water beach now you can even see a sign on the left if you can make it out says welcome to clear water i think it says clear water beach or clear water something like that but all right well the traffic um is opening up now let's go into this roundabout and i'll show you the main strip area on mandalay avenue here we go let's make a right this is where i was before and there's a shop to my right there called kilwins where i had my waffle bowl with mint chocolate chip ice cream it's very good trying to drive at a good speed so he can take in the sights and sounds without and uh not go so slow as to annoy the person behind me and put their horn up yeah i don't even need to go fast here anyway there's a red light up ahead so just take it easy and you can see all the sights and sounds well maybe mainly just the sights the sounds is just my voice talking that's a nice hotel to my left the sand beach no sand pearl resort and there's a popular restaurant around here called frenchies where i went to on my live stream walking um clear water beach i think this truck driver is gonna make a left it's okay wait a second i don't want to go here go straight 626 matt saying on the right there's some good food oh i like good food let's let this woman cross this is the not so commercial area of clearwater beach now i kind of like those little kind of go-karts that they have here i wonder how much they cost the rent but as i was also looking at some attractions around here there's a lot of boat tours dolphin tours even snorkeling i think they call those go-karts the iguana car so uh up ahead here is the residential area of clearwater beach i won't be going there but i'll be taking the roundabout all the way around and then turn around to go on the south lane of mandalay avenue and we'll just drive our way down the gulf coast towards saint pete beach and maybe then i could park and walk around because i want to see the dances are up close and we'll see what else is there we circle we just made a complete turn to the other side all right now we get to see this awesome area again from the car oh let's give this person some space up ahead so they can get out of the parking a lot of people getting out of their parking spots and in there's one who made a right turn in oh i think this toyo is making a right there no one's behind me so i won't get any kind of impatient drivers giving me the horn honk okay so this is the hotel area again of clearwater beach now let's get into this lane because i don't want to make a left we'll just go straight uh is this truck making a right here or standing still i don't know let's regardless let's go around them i guess not i love this area here so much activity here just go slow and see all the sites some guys on a hoverboard to my right there i think i'm going to approach the roundabout again this roundabout is a little bit confusing at times anybody coming nope we are good i'm gonna make a right over here and we'll see more of the beach let's go this way and the lot is full so we cannot go there but we will drive right next to the beach oh nice mal beside with three pounds thank you i want slower traffic so we can go slower and see more of the beach wow look at that there's someone driving a bicycle on the right there oh now this utility car is blocking the view look at this beautiful pink hotel to my left i think this is the hyatt if someone uh if i remember someone said this is the hyatt yeah it is i see a sign it says the hyatt lobby and parking entrance the hyatt regency of clearwater really nice kelvin you didn't know the beach was there yes this is the beach it's clear water beach i'm having a lot of fun just looking at this if you want to see um the beach itself i did a live stream where i walked on the beach i think it was like two days ago i did it let's let these people cross and the restrooms are to my right and i think a place you can get some stuff to eat oh people here just walking in the middle so you gotta be a little bit more aware okay so i think these guys are about to cross let's wait for them and these people too okay i think the parking situation here is very tight not easy to get a parking here all right there's no one behind me so i could slow up now great wow what is that edge that's a nice looking building and then this is hamden drive i guess i'll just go straight from here towards the gulf boulevard i believe hey budweiser don't drink and drive though not recommended 291 a gallon for gasoline at speedway seems like the prices of gasoline are going up and up there's the mini golf station i was um passing by that other day okay let's go on the bridge i think we're going over the bridge into the sand key now i'm a little bit more familiar with these areas now that i've been here for a while look at all those motorcycles they're having fun all right this is an area where i cannot really drive slow or the people behind me are going to get mad so we'll keep it around like 40 miles an hour i think that's good speed i'm not on the gas anymore just cruising down the hill because these things can get a little bit tricky sometimes there's probably going to be like a speed limit thing on the bottom here telling you how fast you're going look at that huh you're going 26 i'm going 28. look at my speed i'm 31 i'm below the speed limit speed limit's 35. all right so this is sand key to my right here is sand key uh county park i thought it was a very good park there and um you can go in there it's five bucks for the entire day for parking now this area over here i think it's called um oh wait this is sand key yeah sand key there's a lot of hotels here nice ones too the marriotts in my left really nice and we're gonna see a lot of like expensive homes too this over here is like exclusive i don't know how much the hotels on this side cost you can stay on the clearwater beach area or the sand key area over here there's more hotels but less restaurants and entertainment options on the other side clear water beach it's more busy but you have a lot more restaurants and also the trolley goes over there for free too so you don't need to you know worry about transportation that much not sure if there's any more hotels anymore i think we're going to be entering private residences now sand key club to my right i smell cut grass all around me bayside gardens number two you're gonna see a lot of homes here that's gonna be like a million dollars and up and large high-rise buildings too all right uh the car behind me is a good distance away i think driving 30 over here will be a good speed oh nice spots on the left there what is this place bel air beach oh i think this is the upscale uh residential section not so much high-rise buildings but a lot of nice homes oh we got some construction here let's slow up don't want to speed through this all right we're past the work zone yeah look at these homes here there's some really nice homes now we got the joyride car in front of me let's uh go around them and another work zone area let's slow up and get through this work zone that's my car telling me i'm off the lane i don't even know how to turn that setting off these new cars are too complicated for me i make all these beeps and warnings it's like ah what's that there's a setting on my dash it says this on the pcs mode i don't even know what that is there's lta pcs drcc and rsa right now it's on pcs and there's an image of like a head-on collision right next to else pcs so so mr ducabre is saying did i read the owner's manual no i did not they just gave me the keys of this rental car and hey enjoy it heck i didn't even know how to adjust the seat back and forward and the guy told me oh it's electronic you just you just push it and you pull it meanwhile i was like pulling up and down on and meanwhile you push it forward and the lever looks like you could pull it up it's like that's how old school i am with cars i've never owned a car before now looks like uh we're getting into some more restaurants casa italia we might be in indian shores now i'm not sure indian shores i think is the next uh neighborhood over from bel air beach or not indian shores indian rocks beach i could pete dora with a super chat of five bucks thank you ew saying when did i last drive a car over a year ago before this trip no way maybe it was a little less than that i can't remember now yep this is uh indian rocks beach i just passed the sign for it on the left side so far a nice quiet cruise down the gulf boulevard along the gulf of mexico coast we'll go all the way to saint pete beach and hopefully i could find a parking spot there and walk around for a bit there's a nice good cruising speed guest make with five bucks and that's a very long paragraph i won't be able to read right away but maybe i can because i'm at a red light if it stays if not then i'll have to pass up on that sorry but safety comes first yup sorry i wasn't able to read the message but so to my left is the bridge to um largo florida which is another city or town i believe i don't know if it's a city or a town but that's where i'm staying largo oh this drive was a little bit aggressive with his right turn but it's okay just let him go this is still uh indian rocks beach there's a lot of good places to my left here cash makes saying what's my favorite beach in florida uh favorite beach in florida still huh give me some time to think about maybe south beach because that's the one with the most activity in miami beach i know it's crowded but that's part of the appeal of it too all right we got ups here making deliveries okay good to know ups serves this area as well beautiful waterway to my left oh there was a cool little place there called sun and fun well i actually thought those figurines to the left back there were real they look real enough to be people so so i think i'm already in indian shores if i'm not mistaken hey look at that the board is right here welcome to indian shores seems like i'm getting used to this area already oh there's the trolley coming on the other side which is actually a bus it's designed like a trolley but that one goes all the way back up the other way where i came from to clear water oh bay one ice cream and cuban sandwiches to the left that looks kind of cool that crazy disney lady is here saying clear water is very pretty yes definitely is i like indian shores and indian rocks beach as well the actual beach because there's not as many people there and you can enjoy a little bit more of the natural scenery but clear water beach is where all the entertainment is there's a strip mall on my left there called golden shores village and so far the livestream seems to be holding up well the uh front air is working well the defroster is blowing the cool air over the phone i thought about recording this drive on my gopro but then the battery doesn't last as long and i need to put it on the outside of the car which always makes me just a little bit nervous even though the suction cup is uh pretty strong as long as you wet it and it's clean then it could even like withstand speeds up to like 120 miles an hour but doing it this way i don't have to get out of the car and it's much easier for me to uh to deal with because it's just aired live on youtube i don't really have to do any editing so there's the indian shores town square to my left and i think uh there's another street coming up called park drive and you can go over the um to the mainland that way all right time to get some water because i'm thirsty what's up now that goes away and i gotta prepare for the light to turn green so this is south 699 oh we got some mile markers up ahead madeira beach four miles treasure island is seven let's uh switch lanes to give this person on the recumbent bicycle some space i know when i ride my bicycle i appreciate drivers who do that for me alright so this is the next city down reddington shores and this is very confusing too because i believe there's a reddington shores and then the next one south of here is called north reddington beach and then the next one south of that is called reddington beach so there's redington shores north readington beach reddington beach like they can't make it more confusing and then we just came from indian shores and then after indian shores there's indian rock beach it's like all the city names are so confusing but so far this is a pretty nice drive not too much traffic except for the clearwater beach portion there hey look it's fort knox sports bar to my right it actually kind of looks like a fort too speed limit here is 35. pretty much i'm going like 30 35 most is 40. a lot of vacation rental spots here you see now here's the city limits for north reddington beach so we went from reddington to reddington except this one's a beach and the other one was shores like are they any different from each other oh we got some hotels to my right doubletree resort by hilton and there's sandalwood beach resort some motels here malibu resort to my left is in malibu and california maybe they want to appeal to the californians to who want to come here for a vacation all right we got the next city over now it's reddington beach reddington beach city limit you know it's kind of strange the sign says reddington beach city limit and then the sign after that the one that's all designed very well it says town of reddington beach so is it a city or a town or is it both i don't know does it even matter i think we're going to hit madeira beach pretty soon madera beach is home to the uh famous entertainment area called john's pass and i actually went there a few days ago and i recorded a walking video through there maybe i'll upload it and publish it tomorrow but i really like the johns pass area i don't really see any hotels here's a lot of like small homes and maybe condos too oh madeira beach right here city limits i think you might see john's pass coming up i forget exactly where it is but it's on the left hand side somewhere the city hall and the library is to the left so this is the tom stewart causeway 1015th avenue tom shaffer saying two miles to go for john's pass at the end of madeira before the next drawbridge he had john's pass amazing place reminds me a little bit of the south street seaport in new york city but with a lot more activity and with multiple levels all right so three miles to go for treasure island and saint pete beach is six miles this time for saint pete beach i want to go past the downtown area past quarry avenue and do walks near the don cesar and also the beach there because i think the don cesar and corey avenue the downtown area is a little bit far to walk to that's why i didn't go there and uh the video i did of uh the downtown saint pete area i was timing it to catch my trolley which was gonna leave in like a few minutes if i missed that one the next one was gonna leave in like half an hour and i was like nah i'm not waiting half an hour otherwise i would have walked down there to don cesar but even then that would be like a long long video i don't know how much like cool sights are between downtown and the dances are but i didn't do that there's 140th avenue now john's pass should be coming up very soon by the way it's funny because uh john's pass was actually named after a guy named john who discovered the area after a hurricane created it so they named john's pass after this guy named john all right this uh ford truck driver in front of me he's going real slow i don't mind we get to see a lot more man look at this beautiful pink building to my left there that's madeira bay resort and spa all right ford truck is making a left up there's a fire truck coming up behind me but the whole left lane is open [Music] and there's also an ambulance coming okay oh here's john's pass to my left in fact why don't i just go there let's make a left here and i'll uh drive into it you're going to see this this is really cool i really like this area i'm not going to go into the parking garage area but there's more shops to the right and also to the left i think i'll go to the right first all right she's letting me go see there's a lot of stuff here i ate a new york city uh new york pizzeria slice to my right there this the sodos delosas the losses pizzeria i'm gonna make a left turn here there's also a nice little boardwalk all right ernest you like the johns pass area yes awesome here hopefully i can get out of here without having to pay for parking or get forced into a parking garage street wow still a one-way street over here what does that say no no right turn residence only okay so i gotta make a left turn and is there anybody coming to the right nope oh good i think we can go out this way perfect perfect uh was this the main area no this is behind it oh the welcome center is to my right here let's make a right this area is super super cool as you can see a lot of shops here there's even like a good um sweet place to my left they put like everything there you can think of covered in chocolate in fact about that in john's past there's like so many areas where you can get sweets oh this guy's letting me go okay so um i'm gonna make a left here but it's gonna be a little bit tricky i'm not making a left anytime soon there's a lot of traffic coming this way all right after these two cars i might be able to do it all right let's go quick rough time all right so now we're going to the next area after this drawbridge i think it's called treasure island yep treasure island city limit i think this is a um a well-known tourist destination too treasure island also because of the name oh more hotels over here circle k residents in marriott actually is a good spot for hotels because you have john's pass right behind me all those restaurants and cool little places there and there's the sherry lynn motel to my left [Music] oh hd supply always on the job good right turn by hd supply trucking here's the treasure island ocean club bayside inn and marina to my rights south beach condo hotel to my right man a lot of hotels and motels here's no wonder why john's passes a lot of people there i think uh saint pete beach is after treasure island so tom saying vip mexican place coming up on the left it's a die but great food awesome oh look there's a nice spot to my right called thunderbird sounds like a fancy name for a restaurant thunderbird we got pedestrians crossing this is a 104th avenue you know what i realized just now like i won't have to worry about this for a while but when i do refill my gasoline tank i don't even see the button where the gas tank is to unlock the gas tank but that's another issue i'll worry about it when that happens or look up the owner's manual there's the sun coast motel and apartments and the sun coast of bishop villas so there's treasure island police to my left it looks like they pulled someone over someone's being naughty jerry's saying it's usually on the floor all right i think this might be saint pete beach now because it says first streets yup what did i tell you the sign there says saint pete beach uh what the heck it just changed now to the right is west the gulf boulevard strait is gulf boulevard and left this first street huh i think i need to make my way over to the right but it's already too late so i'll find a way to like turn up ahead somehow what the heck is this guy doing i think i'm driving away from st pete beach now let me just pull in here oh shoot this is one way let's not do that let's go in here and then reverse the right way [Music] someone made the same mistake i did and i just pulled up so they could get by [Music] doesn't help that there's like no markers here it says this one way or anything until you actually get in there so it doesn't make any sense and i can make a left here now i think if i continue there to uh golf boulevard i'll head back into the mainland towards saint petersburg proper traveler gstc saying this is a dead-end street oh no oh man well i need to make a left here anyway i'm already in this lane but i'll just go down here until i um can't go anymore and then i'll turn around i guess it says no outlet but unless it says like residence only or whatever then please note side street parking slow okay i'm definitely lost beach parking lot ooh treasure island do not enter valley parking only well let's just continue going oh this is sunset beach this is a separate area now can i make a left here or get out of here somehow let's get out of here this way oh let's just go oh wait not enter i think i can continue going this way i just go like super slow stop sign there's a very residential area no sidewalks there's people walking around no outlets to the rights but i think this is golf boulevard coming up all right right turn and there's a stop sign let's go here past this tow truck there we go now we're on the right path [Music] center lane is right or left only seems like this area is a little bit more quiet than the other side oh that's a nice charge to my right there okay so we got some signals here south pasadena corey calls way to the left saint pete beach to my right i want to go to saint pete beach so we may go right here let's see uh can i make a right yes i can so um i know to continue more south i need to make a left there but i do want to check out the beach here because it's pretty neat this is sunset way got a beach bar to my left and also some parking to my right you know what let's go to corey avenue because um i haven't eaten lunch yet we'll get some lunch at corey avenue and uh maybe i'll continue on with this feel star 84 asking what's for lunch i don't know we'll see what they got here but i'm hungry now yeah tom i know um i need to make a left onto golf but now now it's a right but i wanted to show people the um the back area over here and now i'm need to i'm going to stop over here for some lunch tip or net have i had my fill of grouper i didn't have grouper yet but it might be pretty neat to have some before i leave maybe i can get an outdoor table all right corey avenue might get a little bit more busy to park up there but we'll see let's let these people cross the street and can i get a parking here let's take a look hmm well there's some parking on the other side but it's a little bit difficult to pull in there from this side of the street my driving skills aren't that good yet i can always turn around let's go this way let's pull into here let's wait for these two cars to pass okay now a left turn and i could pull into one of these spots easier i saw a few spots available here i think this is one okay good we are parking here shopping parking only no beach barking all right so let me get settled also need to use the restroom so we'll do that let me put my electronics in my bag so they don't burn up in the car uh what should i do now oh yeah i'll just do it outside on the bench the suction cup can stay here because i'm not moving it so right now it's getting rather hot okay so okay well i'm all cord tangled up now let's set up over here and we could probably get something to eat over there this is the problem with live streaming all these cables coming out and uh do i have to pay for this parking or is it completely free i don't see any meter here to pay i think it's free all right good so uh i don't want to get a parking ticket so all right good here's the toyota camry and we will look for a pay meter but i don't think there is one here yeah we're good we're good john ps3 wants to see the gas cap okay this is the gas cap let's eat over here and we'll eat outside this place looks cool chill soup of the day entertainment 6 30 happy hour looks good entrees is there a grouper sandwich somewhere here yeah there is grouper sandwich maybe we'll get that okay okay let's eat here this is

here [Music] yeah that's what i thought fried is uh the best so i hope all of you are enjoying the livestream so far not much walking yet the only walking i've done so far and this was from the cars to the restaurant i mean for the most part it's a pretty smooth drive just a couple of turns that weren't really direct and i had to turn around and also get into the parking spot but i did it let's also check out um where else i should go oh my gosh it's so bright the sun is hard for me to see the screen um don cesar is wow i didn't realize how far all these places are [Music] the dances are still 13 minutes driving if i were to walk there it would take 50 minutes and that's why i didn't do a walking video of saint beat pete beach and i said saint pete beach because i just did downtown for me to go from here downtown will be another hour video but now that i have the car i can go down there park somewhere in the lot if there's available and then just walk around there and then i'll hop into the car again somewhere else so pretty good [Music] yeah it is pretty awesome right pov hfr the day is really nice crypto and the revolution in five bucks enjoy your lunch appreciate it jason m saying awesome greek food in tarpon yeah tarpon springs i've heard about it i may take a trip up there [Music] and uh let me double check how the toyota camry does the gas [Music] because [Music] how do you open the gas tank on a toyota camry turn off the engine switch ensure that the doors and windows stop turn off engine start stop switch off ensure the doors or windows are closed pull up the opener to open the fuel fill the door turn the fuel cap slowly so you just push it that was a long explanation well i'm gonna have to fill up the gas because if you don't the rental company they charge you a lot more if you uh return it with not a full tank of gas they'll charge you like two dollars more a gallon over the market price to fill up the tank oh thank you brian davis i still have the driving notification now i forgot i gotta take that off all right so it's working now i just unpinned it [Music] good i'm excited to try this grouper sandwich and actually i should uh sit on this

40 minutes back it's gonna be another two hours my goodness and i've already got driven for like almost two hours but oh yeah i guess i might have to do it right [Music] well maybe i don't have to walk the whole thing i can go to let me see i want to do this because the dances are it's just an iconic building i'm not even sure if it's good to walk around there maybe i'll park near the end of saint pete beach and walk around there and then just drive back might be better that way yeah it's called uh pass a grill historic districts [Music] wait it's not called saint pete beach down there anymore it's called pasta grill gosh let me see what google says saint no saint pete beach is this entire island it's just pasta grill beach is a section of saint pete beach which makes it a little bit confusing all right that makes sense now i guess [Music] hell smith saying you would park at the bottom and walk up is it is there even a parking lot down there let's look because i'm going to need one for at least an hour if i were to walk around a parking lot parking garage anything down here nothing's even showing up when i put in parking on google nothing at the tip there is sean p with

there we go good view of that let's take a picture of it because everyone wants me to try this grouper sandwich right all right wow the sun glare is so bad i can't even read it right now in fact in order to read i need to take off my shades this is the problem with all right whatever i won't be able to read your messages because the sun's too bright on the screen but you got a good view of the food which is the most important um there's no way i can pick this up to begin with so let's just dig in there with a knife and fork and uh whoa this napkin is going to fly away unless i weigh it down goodness gracious this is one big piece of fish look at this thing i gotta cut it oh man that's good look at this it smells so good too there we go that's that looks a little bit more presentable right now another picture [Music] all right i don't think i'm gonna put ketchup on it yet i want to see uh how it tastes like without ketchup first yeah there's no way you can pick this up unless it like falls apart okay well the bun and everything separated but we got it we got it still let's do this cooper sandwich fried cooper sandwich at chill restaurant [Music] um really really good oh fried to perfection [Music] the fish is very moist lettuce tomatoes very fresh the bun is very tasty can't go wrong ooh [Music] they do it good here really good anonymous anonymous with pen 199 thank you so um to not bore you while i finish the rest of this meal i'll point the camera the other way so you can see some scenery i appreciate you guys [Music] well [Music] this view might be better over here [Music] [Music] thank you so much [Music] if i like urbanist yeah he's a great content creator i think he's actually live now he's doing a bagel tour with a few people i've collaborated with before the marathon walkers highly violet yeah this grouper sandwich you do not need ketchup on it or any kind of sauce even i mean you could add it if you want to but i think it's very moist already [Music] yeah snow though they didn't um put tara sauce on it no sauce at all [Music] this is excellent good so we like to hear i know don't need any toppings on no perfect no ketchup no taro sauce great just the way it is group of sandwich here is awesome they also put it as market price so i don't know how much it is but i can't imagine it'll cost more than 20 bucks for this uh jamesxj asks if you have to tip you're from the uk so you have no idea well a tip is really expected in restaurants like this where you get waiter service you don't have to tip but it's a social norm to do so it's expected to do so around um 18 minimum [Music] i wonder how much this group was going to be we'll see the french fries are really good too also it helps a lot if you tip in cash because many of these waiters they can use the cash right away whereas with the credit card sometimes it takes longer to process and also with a credit card there's a paper trail many of these waiters they um they don't report everything to the government for taxes so that's one way of getting paid a little bit extra oh you hear the music in the background uh oh well at this point i don't think i could um fix whatever's done already but i think i'm far away enough from the music that it won't be an issue [Music] american empire might get flagged well no we'll see [Music] thank you oh [Music] finishing up the sandwich soon [Music] [Music] i always wanted to eat down here at saint pete beach and now i've been down here it's a cool place less busy than a clear water beach for sure [Music] why i don't say [Music] all right mary's saying i have the best youtube channel thank you i'm flower you say that okay [Music] oh [Music] [Music] um [Music] thomas they tried paying cash they put it on paper sometimes the tips are divided behind between all the waiters yeah sometimes that happens where they have a tip jar where everybody shares it a lot of times too is um the waiters they're always the most visible between the customer and the restaurant and the cooks in the back and the people in the kitchen they don't get enough credit people who make you a meal and everything not all the time do they get tipped [Music] um [Music] foreign [Music] huh bright squirrel asking where is this now this is the show restaurant and bar in saint pete beach florida after this i'm going to drive the rest of gulf boulevard down to the tip and i'll try to park near the end and walk around [Music] [Music] oh [Music] lynn likes walking and driving with action kid yeah i guess the driving now is uh completely new to people watching this channel [Music] maybe the dances are have a lot there i can pull in and look at it i don't know i don't want to do that though [Music] intrusive i think [Music] great [Music] you want me to drive south of the donza czar by five minutes oh that's past the grill okay [Music] oh it's a big lunch all the fries and the sandwich [Music] you can't park out dances are yeah so we'll just go to the end why is [Music] all done i just left the pickle really yeah i'm not eating the pickle i hold too much for me let's ask for the check now i definitely need to walk this off i'm not used to sitting around in a car driving for a long period of time the pickle is the best part okay let's do it foreign oh sour all right thank you delicious clean the plate sounds good all right all right let's see how much this is no it's easier to do it this way rather than it's uh gosh still not focusing there we go 15 not bad not bad at all uh-oh my receipt just fell thank you very much it flew away all right [Music] let's pay for this thing [Music] also let me put these back on because it's so sunny [Music] i just stopped spinning finally 15 bucks for that plate is really good all right my gosh everything falls out if you uh just leave it be okay [Music] that was a great sandwich for 15 bucks there's a lot of a lot of fish in there oh be right back [Music] okay all right and after tax i think it was uh 16 something so [Music] let's leave uh three dollars a tip [Music] that's why i have three bucks yes i do i got three singles [Music] perfect and hopefully this music doesn't get me in trouble with youtube but we'll see what happens i think it's quiet enough and i'm away from it enough that it won't give me issues but i don't know [Music] yash singh does the percentage of the tip vary with the state um that's a good question i'm not really sure i think it's pretty much similar throughout the country all right thank you hey okay all right so we got a sign for the credit card all right we are good let's just put this away and we'll get back into the car and drive down to the tip of gulf boulevard all right [Music] all right that was a great restaurant chills restaurant and bar recommended by me for a grouper sandwich it's awesome [Music] and now let's get back in the rental car [Music] no ticket so we're good all rights oh it's hot in here florida heat okay turn this on as i need air conditioning [Music] and we could turn this gimbal off yep it's off now this can go back over there alright it's hot just make sure this way all right hot hot hot i'm gonna put my gimbal away now stacy this is a toyota camry very nice car it handles very well it's the rental car i got all right okay let's roll the windows down just a little bit [Music] all right i think enough cool air got into the car [Music] all right safety first don't want to drive without this thing if it's available okay now we are going to get out of here so okay let me just fix this a little bit that's better so gulf boulevard coming up oh i forgot to put the message up saying i'm driving i can't read the comments oops but i think it's understandable at this point and i don't plan to drive for too much longer anyway because i'm going to um the other location in saint pete beach so gosh what's with that driver oh my gosh just made a left turn without looking i had to use my horn all right so we'll just drive all the way to the end and then scout the area out and see if there's any kind of uh parking there i know there might be so lane closures southbound begins march 18. all right that's way in the future so we don't need to worry about that now so this is all new territory of me i haven't been down here yet coral reef a beach resort to my right oh look all the drivers on the right need to merge to the left now just let this guy in the jeep so i think we should be seeing the dances cesar building pretty soon it's like a big giant pink building ronald's asking if fort de soto park is on my to-see list i know it's at the end of this area i don't know if it's that interesting but i do want to go to the end of saint pete beach man so man if i walk this that other day saint pete beach down to here or downtown to here it's it'll be a long long walk and not so much stuff to see doing it this way is a lot better oh there's the don cesar you see it right there to my right the big pink building looks like i need to get into the right lane here i'm not going to that pinellas bay way man this is a nice looking building oh i like this area pass a grill beach is there a parking around here i may have to go more so there's a long stretch of like nice looking homes here really nice all right stop sign up ahead bridge traffic construction ahead raul says i need to make a right on 21st avenue and i'll see the beach okay let's hope that um i can reach some parking over there this is not moving at all so oh there's a police officer up there guarding traffic or something okay who's waving me through so 21st avenue oh i missed the turn oh gosh oh well what i'll do is i'll drive to the end here just to get a feel of how long this is and see if i could um actually do this walk oh this might be the end or not oh nice view to my left there so very very cool looks like there's a good amount of street parking islands and resort is this the end of it i guess so first avenue that's the end no parking private property gulf way looks like i might be able to get some parking over here oh look at this there's plenty plenty of parking here you got to pay for this or i guess so let me just make sure where i am yeah i'm pretty much at the end of it i can all right looks doable let me pay for the parking and we'll get out and walk around so so i need to do some walking around to burn off all that food that i ate i should also bring my water bottle oh no what happened for some reason my battery charger was not charging the phone and i had five percent battery left but i just pushed the button and now it's charging it oh [Music] hopefully this does not cause a problem i don't think it should what all right right let's finally do some walking in this live stream i'm tired of driving around all right i got my keys by the way i found i wore the gas cap thing is it's right there i couldn't see it because the steering wheel is here and was blocking it but it's this button here okay let's turn this on and pay for the parking space i see a parking thing right there pay here press start first please wait 325 per hour 12 hours max oh that's expensive enter your space number uh i remember what it was but i'm not gonna show it here verifying space space verified space number [Music] insert oh they don't tell you how much time you want you just pay for it okay well that's pretty odd oh [Music] wait why does it say hour five minutes [Music] oh you can add five minutes let me see i'm just going to set it for 6 p.m just for all right nine dollars and 48 cents i'm paying if you wish to document your transaction please take a photo this is weird oh no oh well whatever i don't even get a p receipt to put it in the car but i'm good until six something so three hours i pay like nine something for the parking oh well let's go walk around now i don't even think i'll need that much time but better to be safe than sorry saint pete beach beach access [Music] whoa this is really really nice first avenue beach access john ps30 with 10 bucks thank you john ps30 appreciate it oh man look at this sorry while i take a picture of this because this is amazing beach view is right look at these rocks whoa gulf of mexico first avenue beach access this is what i drove like so many hours for look at all these shells too they're nice and big this is kind of like the local spot i think there's more shells here than rocks oh man that rock just moved on me almost fell oh man this is awesome well if you think about the parking i didn't pay for the parking space at um downtown but i had to pay for the parking over here this is beautiful wow well i can see the dances are over there i think we should walk along this beach it's so nice to ignore it and not do it and i might even just go up to the don cesar and come back i think that's be the plan the don cesar is like 40 minutes away and i paid for like three hours of parking so we're good as long as i get back to the car before six i think we should be fine wow baby man look at this iris just drinking up the water [Applause] yeah this is not a crowded beach at all very relaxing beach uh fun viz this is saint pete beach i cannot tell you lynn saying although this beach is gorgeous siesta beach will literally take my breath away we'll have to see about that i plan to go to siesta as well okay siesta has the widest sand that little kid you saw the size of that shovel he was carrying wow zap saying you could walk on the beach all day yeah i probably could also just walking all the way up the gulf coast l smith45680 saying i'm in for a parking nightmare going to see us the key close to spring break [Applause] uh-oh yo hey my gosh i'm here good to see you too whoa he was all the way over here and recognize me um [Music] i even think uh saint pete beach was named the number one beach by trip advisor i can see why now whatever the don cesar up ahead i would expect that portion of the beach to be a lot more crowded than over here [Applause] ready all right we're getting to the crowded section now oops pull on the cable thank you you know what i think i'll do because i want a 4k version of the beach walk here i'm going to walk to the dances are and the live stream and then make a pre-recorded video because this is too beautiful that way you can see it on your big tv in 4k and i'm gonna label like number one beach in the united states saint pete beach walk or something like that i know pov hfr videos i was just thinking about i was like you know what this deserves a 4k video thank you lynn say the beach and siesta beach are not commercial much more peaceful try to get to siesta before the weekend or get there very early parking is free okay now i'm getting the warnings i have to get there early i don't know how early but that should be fun [Applause] [Applause] bluesy box saying 4k live streams would be nice one day it definitely would definitely would i would love to have that and i hope the price of a 4k livestream is reasonable knowing the cell phone providers in florida they'll probably be charging a lot of money for it shot by scott d i seem to appreciate the chill west coast vibe more than the hustle and bustle of south florida fair i'm sure both have their points but what's your preference so far i like it when there's more activity i like the east coast this was such a good plan to walk up to the dancers are it's getting closer and closer looking more and more pretty and the beach just got a lot more wider uh got the little selfie you know what i have to do i think when i do my 4k video maybe i'll just talk the introduction up and then the rest of it i'll just let the sounds of the waves and the scenery make the video man these seagulls are really aggressive might be better when i go uh make the video later because then the sun will be a little bit lower in the sky oh charles saying the sand and siesta key is from the appalachian mountains whoa [Applause] oh there's a lot of people here just resting their feet in the water and lawrence wants to know how much it's a super chat to get me in the water i don't know if i'm not really prepared to go in the water i've got jeans on long sleeves electronics don cesar not so far away now oh what happened here there's not so many people on this side this area is very quiet you want to see a close-up of the sand all right it's what it looks like what's up with that bird okay you know it kind of looks like the don cesar doesn't really have that many people in front of it but i could be wrong kick to the curb with 4.99 after 60 years living in virginia my dad moved the floor at 83 years old so happy for him he walks four miles a day in pinellas park wow that's so inspiring kudos to your dad he's awesome minnie lives in florida but not in tampa but from all the videos you've seen from me it really makes you want to go to be honest i thought tampa wouldn't be as nice as like the east coast but it has its good points too i really like this beach has a different kind of nature to it thank you my my heat saying be careful of the sea lice and sand fleas that'll make me itch what there's sea lice and sand fleas here oh goodness that i was not warned about all right there's the pink pretty hotel i'm gonna start walking towards it now the shortest distance directly there well you know what i see more people on the other side i'm gonna walk over there kind of saying didn't oil get dumped in the gulf of mexico yeah i think it was called the deep water horizon incident happened a few years ago but that was a major incident then i think that leak is still ongoing but from what i can tell whatever happened they um they cleaned it up mostly because i remember at that time there was like oil washing up all over florida louisiana mexico everywhere i mean it could be another thing too maybe they put in some chemicals in the water to like disperse the oil and it's still all on the ocean floor or maybe they just made it so microscopic that you don't see it anymore but i don't know okay so it's all cleaned up now good because that was a big deal back then i remember that we're really close to the don cesar hotel now zap saying how many miles did i walk a lot less than yesterday because i've been driving for a lot of the day so far i did 4998 steps so the cheapest room is 350 a night at that hotel don cesar good brian giles with five bucks so of all the places in florida you visited now which neighborhood or city could you live in i think i could live in miami that's my my favorite so far just because it's a big city like new york and it has a lot to offer but i could also see myself living in fort lauderdale as well as any of the neighborhoods between fort lauderdale and miami all the way up to probably uh del ray beach down to miami any of those places i could see myself living in all right so uh once i hit this first group of people um in front of me i'm going to end this live stream and then start my walk back and record it because i think this will make for a very good video there's the don cesar look at that building it's amazing all right i'm going to end the live stream here folks well everyone this has been a blast driving all the way from clearwater all the way down here to st pete beach and then walking this beautiful beautiful beach with this grand hotel right behind me this thing is awesome but yeah i'm going to get going now i'm going to record my way back down to first avenue in saint pete beach and i'll make my way back because i don't feel comfortable driving at night especially during roads i'm not really too familiar with but thanks again for joining in appreciate it bye bye i'll see you next time
