CLEARWATER BEACH, Fla. â Beachside business owners are hoping for a resurgence as visitors flock to Tampa Bay for spring break.
It was one year ago this month when Pinellas County temporarily shut down its public beaches, dealing a crippling blow to restaurants, bars and shops along the Gulf.
Monday marked the start of spring break 2021 and crowds are already lining up to dine at local restaurants.
Rusty Pearl says the pandemic ate into 80% of revenue at Pearlyâs Beach Eats over the last year.
