All about Clearwater

Sitting on Florida’s Gulf Coast, just 20 miles northwest of Tampa, Clearwater is a blend of small beachside town and metropolitan hotspot. Here you can bask in the sun on the sugar-white sand beaches while boats bob in the Clearwater Harbor Marina. Along the Beach Walk promenade flagged by mangrove trees, five-star restaurants bump elbows with casual beachside seafood eateries, featuring local specialties like freshly caught stone crab or grouper sandwiches. In the evening Pier 60 holds a nightly sunset festival, where vendors set up stalls and street performers show off their music, magic, and more.

Caladesi Island State Park, which can be reached by ferry, offers miles of hiking or biking trails and the chance to kayak over the crystal clear waters of the gulf. This pristine island is home to several natural habitats that are crucial to the survival of native plant and animal species.
