Things to do in Clearwater

Clearwater is best known for Clearwater Beach, a long stretch of soft white sand and clear, shallow Gulf water that regularly appears on national best-beach lists. The beachfront has a relaxed, family-friendly energy, with a nightly sunset celebration at Pier 60, charter fishing boats and dolphin cruises leaving from the marina, and resorts lining the shore. Barrier islands to the north, including Caladesi and Honeymoon Island, add quieter, undeveloped beaches.
