Clearwater Beach always get ranked as one of the best beaches in America. But what about another staple of Florida life? Beach bars!

Florida Beach Bar is out with their 2019 list of the best beach bars in Florida and two local favorites landed in the top 10.

At #3 is Jimmy B's Beach Bar at St. Pete Beach. Voters liked the bar's rustic look and how chilled out the vibe is. Having live music plus an air conditioned bar area got props from reviewers.

Also in the top 10 at #7 was Caddy's On The Beach in Treasure Island. Caddy's made the list for being a spot you can spend the whole day at given their early 8AM opening time. They also scored point for their sunset saxophone player.

So where do you have to go for Florida's BEST beach bar? That requires a short drive down 75 to Venice. Sharky's on the Pier took top honors for the second year in a row.
