Keegan's Seafood Grille

There are several Frenchy's locations, but Frenchy's Rockaway Grill is the best because it is ON the beach with beach views on Clearwater Beach. This is a great place to park and enjoy a day on the beach, easier to get a parking spot in this location verses Pier 60, meals/drinks at Frenchy's and short walk down (south) to Pier 60.
