Dining on the beach offers a full course of sensory experiences, with sea-breeze smells, sounds of crashing waves, and tastes of evolutionary victory. Partake in pleasant perceptions with today's Groupon: for $12, you get your choice of $30 worth of fare and drinks Monday-Thursday or $25 worth of fare and drinks Friday-Sunday at Palm Pavilion, located in Clearwater Beach.

From a stunning, beachside vantage point overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, the Palm Pavilion has been serving up a quintessential seaside dining experience for more than 80 years. Stroll up the coast and perch on the shaded outdoor patio or take a break from the sea breeze in the casual, sunlit interior. The menu offers an array of landlubbing eatables and sea-faring cuisine, such as the Hurricane Shrimp, where three skewers of crunchy crustaceans are blown through a whirlwind of spices, landing safely on a cushion of black beans and rice ($14.99). Or, lose your sea legs with a 10-oz. black Angus top sirloin ($17.99). Sworn enemies of the sun can enjoy its colorful demise while sipping a cool piña colada ($6.50) and soaking eager ears in live music.
