Safety Harbor is a city on the west shore of Tampa Bay in Pinellas County, Florida, United States. It was settled in 1823 and incorporated in 1917. The population was 16,884 at the 2010 census.The area has been inhabited since the Stone Age. In June 2008, a 6,000-year-old spearhead was found at Marshall Street Park. The inhabitants of the area at the time of Spanish exploration were the Tocobaga people, who lived in villages around Tampa Bay. The adaptation of this culture relied on wild resources. Safety Harbor sites have yielded pottery, and artifacts of copper, shell, and stone. The Tocobaga were known for constructing various ceremonial and communal mounds to bury the dead. Most of these mounds were destroyed in the early 1900s due to development. However, one of these ceremonial mounds is still visible in Safety Harbor's Phillippe Park (see photo). Shells found in these mounds were used to pave city streets.

So much more than a standard hotel or resort, Safety Harbor Resort & Spa is quite simply, spectacular! Classic and charming, pampering and luxurious, we offer guests timeless elegance and personalized service. Our breathtaking resort and spa features all the amenities you would expect from an Old-World resort overlooking the glistening waterfront of Tampa Bay. Our rich history, affordable luxury and endearing character combine to provide a setting that is positively paradise.

Brimming with historic elegance and charm, Fenway Hotel, Autograph Collection is exactly like nothing else. For over 90 years, the hotel has welcomed the world's most celebrated artists and luminaries to Dunedin, Florida. A Jazz Age landmark, Dunedin was home to the county's first radio station, and reminders of its musical past exist around every corner. Located near Dunedin Beach, our boutique hotel rooms and suites feature natural light and thoughtful amenities like free Wi-Fi and pillowtop bedding. Many rooms provide views of the Dunedin waterfront. Elsewhere at the hotel, we invite you to sample perfectly seared steaks and other specialties at HEW Parlor & Chophouse, our airy restaurant; then ascend to Hi-Fi Rooftop Bar and pair your cocktail with sweeping views. Guests hosting an event in Dunedin can choose from nearly 11,500 square feet of space, including two lush lawns and a unique ballroom. If you're in the mood to explore, attractions including Clearwater Marine Aquarium are easily within reach.

The Safety Harbor Museum and Cultural Center is home to several exhibits that display our city and regional history. The exhibits are owned and managed by the 501(c)3 Safety Harbor Museum of Regional History. Artifacts date back to prehistoric times and help to tell the story of Safety Harbor.
Philippe Park is 122 acres rich in history. This is the oldest park in Pinellas County and is in Safety Harbor. The majestic shade trees and the Native American mound welcome visitors to the park. The Temple Mound was built by Native Americans known as the Tocobaga. It is the largest remaining mound in the Tampa Bay region and is listed in the National Register of Historic Landmarks.

Owners, Jeff & Celeste began their journey and joined together in 1995 and traveled throughout the Florida keys on their honeymoon. Over the years living in North Florida they ventured to waterways and tiki bars. They fished, they drank, and they ate...throughout Florida to the Bahamas to the Cayman Islands.

They shared many happy times with friends and family and hosted get-togethers at their home in between travels. In 2008, their little fin was born named Ethan Finn.

Their journeys slowed down a bit but certainly did not stop. However, they found a sense of settlement when they moved to Dunedin, Florida and dreams began of creating their own place for others to enjoy and the ideas and planning started flowing.

In 2011 they landed in Safety Harbor, Florida and enjoyed walking downtown and sitting out on the dock watching Ethan Finn fish in the bay. They knew then that Safety Harbor was the place to make dreams become reality.

In March 2012, ‘Bar fly’ fly fishing bar and shop was established where old friends and new ones can share fish stories, cold brews and grab a cool hat or shirt.

In December 2012, they expanded ‘Bar fly’ and added ‘Saltwater grill’ restaurant to fill the need for fresh seafood and share a menu

of rawbar, nibblers, tacos, bites, cocktails & brews created from their samples of travels.

After 5 years Bar fly didn’t have enough space for everyone to enjoy and decided “we’re gonna need a bigger boat” and in July 2017 they moved to the new 5500 square foot location to allow more space to create more fun!

The new location houses the bar, restaurant, and shop. "We are thankful to be your place for good drinks, good food, apparel, and good vibes!"


DID YOU KNOW?
* Headline GDP was 2.9% in the 4th quarter of 2022 versus 2.8% estimates.....a shockingly strong number. Yet behind the headlines, much of this was from aircraft construction, raised inventories and weakness emerged in retail. Consumer spending continued to increase at a steady 2.1% and contributed about half of the GDP growth (with higher prices). The biggest concern was the 6.7% fall in fixed private investment, mostly housing (-26.7%), owing to the sharp interest rate hikes. (CNBC)
