Caretta on the Gulf Menu

by

Luxurious beachside resort eatery offering carefully sourced, sophisticated New American cuisine.

Named for the loggerhead sea turtles that grace our shores, Caretta on the Gulf invites guests to experience Clearwater’s only AAA Four-Diamond Awarded restaurant. Breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico are complemented by fresh, seasonally-inspired cuisine. In addition to Caretta’s standard menu, we are also pleased to offer an all-natural, organic menu with expertly paired organic wines. Culinary connoisseurs will also enjoy the chef’s dinner tasting menu, which includes dessert and wine pairings carefully selected by our professional sommeliers. Caretta enjoys an inviting atmosphere where jackets aren’t required to dine in style and guests can choose from both indoor and outdoor seating.
