Fun Fact

In 1897, a now well-known man named Ernest Tate, purchased an uninhabited wilderness known as Clearwater Beach Island - paying $200 for 164 acres. By the 1900s, the land became known as Tate’s Island, where he built a house for him and his wife - it was the only house on the island, until a hurricane took it in 1924. Today, Tate’s name has risen back to the surface in that nearby area, as ‘Tate Island Grill’, which is a Clearwater Beach Sandpearl Resort eatery.
