Apollo Beach

This laid-back beach town is a haven for mariners, where waterways create a woven pattern through the neighborhoods. Stunning waterfront homes vary in style from sleek modern lines to Mediterranean-inspired stucco and clay tile shingles. Most homes in the area are single-family dwellings, but there are a few trendy townhouses as well. 

What to Love

• Private docks and a full-service marina

• Mesmerizing Tampa Bay sunsets

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

Apollo Beach boasts many mouthwatering restaurants, so the hardest part about finding a place to eat is deciding where to go. Circles Waterfront Restaurant & Bar offers a range of experiences at Land’s End Marina. Voted “Best Steakhouse” by The Tampa Tribune, Circles’ indoor restaurant creates an intimate atmosphere with a world-class menu crafted by Executive Chef Chris Bodensky. For the same high-quality food with a view, consider their waterfront patio for a sunset dinner. Circles’ main bar is located indoors, but outside, the more casual Tiki Bar is perfect for handcrafted cocktails in shorts and sandals after a day on the water. The Waterside Cafe is a walk-up bar with an extensive food and drink menu where sandy, beach area dining puts guests right on the waterfront next to the marina. Nearby, Ricky’s Apollo Beach Sports Bar & Restaurant is a family-owned diner located close to the beach with a menu of elevated pub fare favorites, coast-inspired entrées, and kid-friendly options. 

Pine Key, colloquially known as Beer Can Island, is an 11-acre private island frequently used as a backdrop for weddings, bachelor or bachelorette parties, and birthday celebrations. Tiki Bay Island typically caters events on Beer Can Island with a knowledgeable, hospitable staff where your event can be personalized to your liking.

​​​​​​​Land’s End Marina is a full-service boatyard that helps residents spend more time on the water. With high and dry boat storage, a fully-stocked parts department for repairs, and high-end security, Land’s End prioritizes customers to ensure satisfaction. Plus, call ahead, and your boat can be launched before you arrive, and when you’re ready to dock, boathands will wash your yacht, flush the engine, and store it so you don’t have to worry about anything except the clear, blue waves.
