While Dunedin
(pronounced DONE-EE-DIN)
has a small town image, it is 
actually
a bustling city of 37,000 residents. One of the oldest towns on the
West Coast
of Florida, it has a wooded and subtropical setting with almost four
miles of picturesque waterfront, a relaxed lifestyle, and activities
for all
likes
and ages, making Dunedin a truly delightful place to live or visit.
Dunedin offers something for everyone. A
quaint and active downtown, beautiful parks, recreational activities for all
ages, history, culture, educational opportunities, a wide range of housing
choices, and much more. Begin your exploration with a visit to the Dunedin
Chamber
of Commerce, located at the west end of downtown, 301 Main Street, in its
beautiful, historic building, for the information you’ll need to discover
Dunedin.
The Dunedin area enjoys near perfect weather, with an average summer high of 80 degrees and a winter low of 62 degrees. Average rainfall is 50 inches per year with the usual summertime afternoon showers.
Just off the coast of Dunedin, the community
is able to boast of two of its most unique assets, Honeymoon and Caladesi
Islands.
Honeymoon Island State Park is less than a five-minute drive from the mainland,
and offers a natural getaway for boating, swimming, fishing, picnics, and
nature exploration. Caladesi Island State Park, accessible to the public by
ferry from Honeymoon Island or by private boat, has consistently been named
one of Florida’s top ten beaches. Along the Dunedin Causeway to Honeymoon
Island, within the protected waters of St. Joseph Sound, you will find all
the sun and fun activities such as windsurfing, sailing, kayaking, canoeing,
jet skiing, or just relaxing and listening to the surf.
The
City of Dunedin also has one of the finest municipal marinas on the West Coast
of Florida, offering safe harbor for sail and power crafts with dockside conveniences
of water and electricity.
Dunedin is easy to get to from all points in the Tampa Bay area. Highways serving the area include U.S. 19, making easy trips to Tarpon Springs to the North and Clearwater and St. Petersburg to the South. The community is easily accessible from major airports such as Tampa International, just 18 miles away, and nearby St. Petersburg/Clearwater International, serviced by some domestic and many charter flights.
Dunedin’s economy is firmly rooted in the service industry, tourism, retail, financial institutions and services, health care, real estate and some light manufacturing.
Delightful Dunedin, with its rich Scottish heritage, is home to the Annual Highland Games and many other community festivals, making it one of the most popular places to live, work and play.
