Clearwater Beach

Clearwater Beach

6.5
4.8/5
26 reviews
Clearwater Beach is located on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. The stretch of white sand beach is made of fine, soft white quartz sand, which feels soft and clean under bare feet and doesn't get hot even in the heat; the bay has warm water and gentle waves, and the near-shore waters are shallow and calm, making it safe for children to play in the water, which is why it is a popular family-friendly destination. Pier 60, which extends into the sea, is a landmark of this beach. You can walk on the pier, watch people fishing, and sometimes even spot dolphins leaping out of the water. Around sunset every day, street performers and craft stalls gather near the pier, and people wait to watch the sun slowly sink into the Gulf of Mexico, painting the sea in shades of orange and gold. This long-standing sunset gathering is a signature scene here. During the day, you can also take a dolphin-watching boat tour, or try activities like paddleboarding, kayaking, and jet skiing.Clearwater Beach · 28.9 km from St. Petersburg

It's worth going. You can watch the sea, listen to music, enjoy the view, plant flowers, and enjoy delicious food and entertainment. It is the safest and most comfortable place for babies to relax and play. It can be called the Hawaii of the East.

what do you want to shop for? name a store. this mall has everything, best shopping mall around and you could spend a whole day there with everything there is here. they also have tons of restaurants, a movie theater, an eat and play arcade, and other great things to do with the family or with a date. used to be shaped like an alligator when they first built it but with all the additions to the mall probably doesn't look like an alligator anymore. easily will walk over a mile if you walk this entire mall
