Sure, enjoying various sporting and recreational activities on the water is great, but opt for something a little different when you get on board the StarLite Cruises. This sleekly modern 115-foot ship offers day and evening dining cruises six days a week. The menu is packed with such mouth-watering choices as filet mignon, fresh seafood and an impressive wine selection.

Many people yearn for the good old days when things were simpler. Instead of yearning for them, you can actually travel back to them when you visit Heritage Village. In the wake of fast-moving progress, there were several buildings in Pinellas County slated for demolition. Luckily, these places were saved and moved to this location which features two dozen structures that include a store, a church, a school, an outhouse and several private residences from yesteryear that are still very much a part of today.

For something a little different tonight, get ready for the classy nightlife experience that is Bobby's Bistro and Wine Bar. Located a block from the beach, this is an extension of Bobby Heilman's main restaurant and offers delicious a la carte dining in four separate dining rooms. The wine bar is the obvious highlight, as its extensive inventory includes more than 20,000 bottles. The menu is equally impressive, featuring such delicious fare as sherry garlic shrimp, a half-rack of JamAsian baby back ribs and gourmet pizzas.
