Check out Watercolor Grillehouse at the Marriott on Sand Key Beach

??‍♀️??‍♀️??‍♀️??‍♀️ HEY Pinellas County!!

Depending on where you live in the county, a truck to the beach can sometimes be daunting (especially at high traffic times).. BUT, if you time it right and want to experience something refreshing and delicious, I suggest you try Watercolour Grillehouse! This renowned restaurant is located inside the Marriott hotel on Sandkey beach.

Whether you are staying at the hotel or not, a perfect day may include a picnic and walk on the famous Sand key beach in Sand Key Park AND afterwards, a lovely lunch or dinner at the Watercolour Grillehouse, located directly across the street from the park.

The cuisine is American and they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Besides the variety and wonderful food offerings on their menu, the views are breathtaking over Clearwater intercostal waterways.

If you haven’t eaten there, I highly recommend to give it a whirl ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
