Sand Key to Pass-A-Grille in Under 3 Minutes

Join us for a tour down Gulf Boulevard and through the beaches at over 500 miles per hour!

Do you ever wish you could coast down Gulf Boulevard from the edge of Clearwater Beach to the Don Cesar in the period of one pop song?

Unfortunately, you can't really do that (at least in no legal way), but you can at least watch it being done.

Here at Pinellas Beaches Patch, we wanted to give you a tour of the most prominent road on the beaches and do it in a special way. We hooked up a camera to our vehicle and sped along the road at the speed limit the whole way.

The result was a 45 minute video detailing the trip from Sand Key to Pass-A-Grille. Since it's not really interesting to see 45 minutes of beach road, no matter how beautiful they are, we sped the footage up by 1600 percent to cut the time to two and a half minutes.

Enjoy the speedy tour video of all the beaches we cover. Maybe one day we'll be able to traverse that amount of ground that quickly in real time.

If you have some great video from Gulf Boulevard, make sure to upload it as well. We'd love to see it!
