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.
