“Generally excellent restaurants with an array of styles dominate the Beaches town center. They include perennial stalwarts like flying iguana for modern Mexican. Mezze for Mediterranean food. Also Sliders, North Beach Fish camp, and relatively newer spots like Dora, The Local and Hawkers Asian street food and Coop 303. Of course for ice cream there's always Whits.
They're also some cafés for visits earlier in the day, such as le Petit Paris and Southern Grounds.
There are some small fashion boutiques and places to buy beachwear and an authentically nice locally owned bookstore”
“Publix Supermarket
Very clean.
convenient locations and parking.
Super nice and helpful employees.
Pricey groceries... Or is this an expensive neighborhood? or is everything in FL expensive now? Groceries are cheaper in CA, for sure!”
“Tradewinds has two essential government offices (Clerk of Court and Tax Collector) located in this shopping center, along with a variety of shops and Wipeouts, a local restaurant and bar.
Motor vehicle registration and drivers license renewals, services, etc. are at the tax collectors office. The Clerk of Courts office provides for filing most county court documents and paying traffic fines. Both of the government offices have waiting systems that will give you updates on your place in the queue and tell you when it's your turn through mobile messages.
There's often enough time to have Wipeouts' awesome wings and a beer while you wait!
Easy access from and to Atlantic Blvd eastbound, though no easy and safe ingress or egress to Atlantic Blvd (State Road 10) westbound is available. When entering from westbound Atlantic Blvd, pass the shopping center and use the traffic signals at Mayport Road under the overpass to execute a safe U-turn. When leaving, to safely return to Atlantic Blvd westbound, turn right to the east, and proceed a few blocks to the traffic signal where a dedicated turn lane allows for a safe U-turn.”
“The Publix next to the Publix is very good. It's bigger than the average Publix. The Deli had a decent selection at close.
I would have to try the Publix next door to compare which is worth going to.”
