Helping kids in our community this holiday season

'Tis the season of giving, so we invite you to help us provide gifts for children in our community who are involved in violence prevention programs. When you dine with us at Frenchy's Saltwater Cafe, pick a star hanging in the restaurant that includes a child's age, gender and wish list.

Take the star with you, fulfill the wish list and bring the unwrapped items back to the restaurant by Tuesday, Dec. 13th!

Thank you for helping us make a difference in our community!

"Best View on the Beach" Photo Contest

CONGRATS to this month's winner Melissa Headrick!

Melissa and her twin daughters have been coming to Clearwater Beach every year for vacation since the girls were five.....they turned 12 this week. This photo was taken on one of their nightly visits to watch the sunset and has always been a favorite of Melissa's to remember those wonderful family memories the three of them have shared.

View our previous winners on our Facebook page.

What's YOUR favorite view? Is it the shoreline?...the boats?...the wildlife?...your awesome sandcastle?

Frenchy's 19th Annual Gumbo Tennis Classic and Silent Auction was a huge success! We are so thankful for the 300 tennis players who participated in the tournament and everyone who came out to bid on the silent auction items. Your support raised over $51,000 for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Pinellas County. It was a beautiful weekend for tennis and Frenchy's famous seafood gumbo...even Gilly had a great time!
