I'm wondering if anyone has been there, and is this 1.5 hour drive time for real? The closest non-leash dog beach we've been to so far is Venice Beach, which is not close at all.

It's probably closer to a two hour drive. Once you get across the Courtney Campbell causeway, you have to drive clear across Pinellas county. It is all stop and go, no east-west expressways. And once you get to downtown Clearwater, you have to go north a few miles to Dunedin on 19A, again all stop and go. The good news is, this time of year the traffic is lighter, and there are no lovebugs in Pinellas county.

You could also swing by the new South Tampa Trader Joe's on your way home, if that interest you.
