Lido Beach

What a great place to fun, sun, and dine. Stayed at the Lido Beach Resort as was in town on business. Had a couple of drinks at the Tiki bar as we watched the sun head down. Two great pools and a gorgeous beach complete the experience. It got a little cool so we decided to grab the complimentary shuttle and to head over to St Armands Circle for dinner. Very crowded this night as March is in full swing and the tourists are a plenty. Stopped in for one quick drink at Tommy Bahamas and live entertainment was just getting started and sounded pretty good but we were in the mood for some seafood so we moved on.

Headed over to the Crab and Fin and a 45 minute wait. Ordered a bottle of wine at the bar and the time passed very quickly. By the time we sat down we were told the last order of stone crab just went to the table next to us. We ordered some Oysters instead and were not disappointed. Our fish selections were outstanding and perfectly prepared. We were stuffed and there was no room for dessert this night. There are so many good choices on the circle you can find a better one each evening. And don't leave without a trip over to Kilwin's for some Ice Cream or some Chocolate. Plenty of music and places to have a drink if you're in to the late night thing.

The Resort makes an awesome breakfast if you want to get a good start and there's excellent walking along the beach or the sidewalks through town. Head out Washington and you'll go through some pretty cool neighborhoods. A walk to the bridge and back is about a 4 mile jaunt. The Resort also has a great Gym if you'd prefer to stay in. Concierge will help you with anything else you need from kayaking to fishing, etc. Enjoy this great part of Florida.
