We haven’t been to Indian Rocks Beach and almost a year since the Hurricanes last year it has been demolished and some of our favorite spots are gone but we returned this past weekend and was pleasantly surprised at how great the beach was.
Indian Rocks Beach
The family
I went with my wife, her sister, and her two kids, so we had a pretty big group, and we carried all of our beach supplies so we can be very comfortable on the sand.
Our beach setup
The water was a little ruff
The water was a little rough and a little cloudy but we still had lots of fun in the water. It wasn’t too cold but it could have been a little bit warmer.

To complete the meal, I also enjoyed three bowls of soup and two breadsticks, bringing the total to approximately 1,890 calories and 74 grams of protein. This hearty combination provided a satisfying balance of carbs, protein, and fats—perfect for fueling strength and maintaining muscle at 58 years old.
Doubles is a Trinidadian street food sandwich made of two fried flatbreads, called bara, stuffed with curried chickpeas, or channa. The snack is commonly enjoyed for breakfast but also makes for a tasty lunch or late-night treat.
Customization:
Doubles are often customized with flavorful condiments such as:
Pepper sauce – for a spicy kick
Kuchela – pickled green mango with a tangy bite
Tamarind sauce – sweet and tangy for added richness
History:
Invented in 1936, the name “doubles” originated when customers requested “a spare bara” to make their order a double-decker sandwich. The extra bara soon became standard, giving rise to the name.
Taste:
The chickpea filling is lightly curried, offering a savory and earthy flavor, while the sauces add a spicy-sweet and tangy burst of taste.
Where to Find Them:
Doubles are widely available from carts and stalls throughout Trinidad, often near schools, hospitals, and bustling street corners.
Doubles in Tampa:
Today, we’re in Tampa, and the only place to get decent doubles here is Trini Spice. That’s exactly where we headed in the video above to satisfy our craving for this authentic Trinidadian street food.
When I was young in Trinidad, a Rasta stepped onto our property. He wore nothing but a loincloth, his long dreadlocks and beard flowing as he carried a cutlass in hand. I was terrified and hid behind my father. The Rasta approached one of our coconut trees and climbed it with ease. He picked a few coconuts, letting them drop to the ground at the base of the tree.
Once he descended, he took his cutlass and sliced open a coconut, drinking the fresh water inside. He handed one to my father and offered me one too, but I was too scared to accept. After my father finished drinking the coconut water, he returned it to the Rasta. With skill, the Rasta split the coconut open and fashioned a scoop from part of the shell, allowing my father to eat the soft jelly inside. When he was done, the Rasta took a few coconuts for himself and left a couple behind for us.
I turned to my father, confused and upset. “How can this Rasta just come onto our property and take our coconuts?” I asked. My father looked at me and said, “Curtis, the Rastas believe God put everything on this earth for everyone. We couldn’t climb that tree to get the coconuts, but he could—and he shared them with us.”
That moment taught me a profound lesson: God didn’t create borders. God made this world abundant, with more than enough for everyone. It’s man who changed the rules.
The Takeaway: This encounter with the Rasta, rooted in my Trinidadian upbringing, challenged my young mind’s ideas about property and borders. My father’s words offered a gentle yet profound shift in perspective—one that resonates far beyond that moment. Whether you see it as God’s design or nature’s gift, the world was made abundant, and it’s human rules that draw lines and create scarcity. This simple story carries a big heart, inviting us to rethink sharing, community, and what truly belongs to us all.
