STROLL PALM LINED BOULEVARDS

NESTLED ON THE COASTLINE OF ST JOSEPH SOUND

Dunedin, Florida exudes the sort of charm that draws locals for the day and leaves guests dreaming of staying a lifetime. Stroll the vibrant downtown streets where you can grab a bite to eat, shop in quaint boutiques or listen to live music at the local pubs. Looking for something more active? Catch a baseball game at TD Ballpark. Play a round

of golf at Dunedin Golf Club. At day’s end, marvel at the natural artistry of sunset over the water—all while living the relaxed Florida lifestyle.

FLIP FLOPS REQUIRED

From sunrise to sunset and beyond, the only suit you will need in Dunedin is for lounging by the pool or on the beach. Whether swimming, sunning or sipping your favorite tropical beverage, flip flops are Dunedin’s most

fashionable footwear. And the easiest to kick off to feel the sand between your toes!

BEACHES, BOATING, AND BIKING YEARROUND

Dunedin boasts some of the finest coastal waters for boating, sailing and kayaking. The Pinellas Trail, an exceptional biking path, traverses Dunedin running through the heart of downtown.

Dunedin Marina offers transient and day slips. And no trip to Dunedin is complete without visiting Honeymoon Island State Park where you’ll find four miles of white sand beaches and extensive nature trails. From there, don’t miss Caladesi Island State Park—accessible only by ferry or boat.

DIAMONDS AND LINKS

While the city certainly sparkles, Dunedin’s diamonds and links are more of the sporting variety. Catch fan fever at the Toronto Blue Jays spring training. Then spend baseball season watching the up and comers of the Dunedin Blue Jays— the A-Advanced Affiliate of Toronto’s organization. Is golf more your style? Hit the links at the Dunedin Golf Club, designed by Donald Ross, for year-round play on a renowned and challenging course. Whether spectator or participant, Dunedin ensures fun for all ages.

FAMILY, FRIENDS & FIDO

From pet-friendly establishments and lodging to multi-generational events, Dunedin believes in entertainment for the entire family. The Dunedin Fine Arts Center galleries display rotating exhibits of local and national artists; as well as encouraging budding young artists through their incomparable interactive children’s gallery.

INSIDER SPOTLIGHT

Reflecting Dunedin’s rich Scottish heritage, the name (pronounced dun-EE-din) originates from “Dun Eideann”— Scottish Gaelic for Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland.

Dunedin, Florida is the sister city to Stirling, Scotland and Summerside, Prince Edward Island, Canada. Dunedin’s bagpipe band, comprised of volunteers, are two-time World Champions of the World Pipe Band Championship in Glasgow, Scotland.

HISTORY COMES ALIVE

Catch the wistful melody of bagpipes. Revel in the sea’s delights. Encounter locals attired in tartan and kilts. From your first visit to Dunedin, you’ll appreciate the city’s respect for those who came before.

FROM SEAFARING TO CITRUS

Founded by Scottish merchants

John Douglas and James Somerville in 1878, Dunedin embraces its maritime and commercial ancestry. Early on, Dunedin became one of Florida’s chief seaports and trading centers; providing harborage to the schooners and sloops that transported much of the area’s cotton and citrus. A.L. Skinner, a town settler, created a citrus empire focused on both citrus production and mechanization of the industry. First inventing early processing machinery, Skinner went on to create orange juice concentrate marking Dunedin as the birthplace of today’s frozen orange juice. With advancing transportation methods, the Orange Belt Railway replaced sailing vessels carrying citrus, vegetables, and passengers.

SAILING IS IN OUR BLOOD

Incorporated as a city in 1899, Dunedin’s love of boating continued to grow. The Dunedin Boat Club, located at the downtown marina, is one of Florida’s oldest sailing clubs. Established in 1929, the Boat Club encourages boating, sailing and yachting for pleasure and competition—hosting both the Dunedin Youth Sailing Association and the Dunedin Cup Regatta. Stroll near the marina most any day and

you’ll catch a glimpse of sailboats skimming along St Joseph Sound with their sails unfurled.

UNCOVERING A (NOT-SO) HIDDEN GEM

Sparkling in St. Joseph Sound, just off the shoreline of downtown, is Caladesi Island State Park. Originally settled by Henry Scharrer in the 1880s, the island drew many notables to Dunedin including Abraham Lincoln’s son Robert and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Carl Sandberg. Today, Caladesi Island’s unspoiled representation of Florida’s ecological past continues to be accessible only by water.

UPHOLDING TRADITION WITH PRIDE

In 1964, the city of Dunedin invited Stirling, Scotland to become a sister city, creating an exchange of ideas, culture and good will between the two communities. Dunedin takes great pride in its heritage, supporting civic groups such as the Dunedin Scottish Arts Foundation, the Scottish American Society of Dunedin, and the Dunedin New World Celts. Stroll the streets of Dunedin, many with Scottish names, and you’ll hear bagpipes playing, encounter locals in tartan kilts and yes, even hear a Gaelic accent here and there.

Dunedin History Museum’s Victoria Drive Sunset Stroll and Historic Downtown Walking Tour offer insight to Dunedin’s colorful past.

Kayak, boat or ride the Caladesi Island Ferry to Caladesi State Park—voted one of the top beaches in the United States.

For Dunedin resident and artist Steven Spathelf, it has been an idea and dream of his to see some of these beautiful labels brought to life in mural form in the downtown core and Weaver Park.

WHAT'S UP WITH ALL THE ORANGES?

Along with Dunedin’s rich Scottish history, we also have a history of oranges, orange groves and citrus packing. When the oranges were packed, beautifully designed labels were made to go on each side of the fruit crates. This goes back to the early 1880’s until the early 1950’s.
