Clearwater Beach is considered one of the Top beaches in the nation. It has been named the #1 beach in the nation several times and it considered to be in the Top 10 worldwide. It is consistently ranked among America's most beautiful, offering miles of sugar white sand, tranquil breezes, and crystal-clear waters.
Clearwater Beach is on the west coast of Florida in Pinellas County just west of Tampa, only 21 miles from the Tampa International airport.
With so many different things to do it is a great destination for the entire family. It’s very popular amongst spring breakers and a hot spot for tourists from all over the world. It is estimated that the Clearwater area brings over 6 million overnight visitors per year and this continues to increase annually as more people choose to vacation closer to home.
Our first stop was The Hilton Resort which is right in the heart of the beach and only footsteps away from Pier 60 it has the most amazing view of the beach.
Clearwater City has some of the best trained lifeguards I know. The lifeguard towers are equipped with AC as it’s warm all year around and super-hot over the summer months.
Right down the street on South Gulf View Blvd is the Opal Sands Resort, one of the newest Gulf front accommodations, located right on the beach. It has a cool tiki bar, an inviting pool and gorgeous views of the ocean.
As you explore Clearwater Beach, you’ll find many places to rent fun transportation like Fun Ride Rentals.
One of my favorite spots on Clearwater Beach is Shephard’s!! I’ve spent endless nights at Shephard’s. It’s a great place for entertainment. Our local station 93.3 use to have Saturday night live from Shepard’s on the beach and it was so much fun! I’ve seen so many celebrities here!
You can rent Jet Ski’s, Kayaks and Parasails. On your way out make sure to grab a cool souvenir from the store.
There is so much to see and do here at Clearwater Beach so if you get tired of walking you can always catch the Jolley Trolley to take you around and if you have children in your group be sure to stop by the Bungee Trampoline right off the Pier.
Speaking of the Pier. Pier 60 is one of the most attractive fishing piers in Florida! The sunset is here is by far one of my favorites. At night the pier is super fun with a celebration of art and street performers. This pier has very cool vibe in the evening.
Just to the north of the pier you’ll find more restaurants, bars and souvenir shops.
It’s safe to say that Clearwater Beach truly has it all making it the perfect getaway!
