CLEARWATER BEACH: THE BEACH OF YOUR DREAMS
Clearwater is a great place to call home due to its many outdoor activities, low cost of living, and great weather year-round. The city is also home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the United States.
These communities are ideal for families and retirees, offering beautiful views, entertainment, and nightlife.
However, some areas of uncertainty cannot be ignored. If you choose to live in Clearwater, you must have hurricane insurance like the rest of Florida. There is also the possibility of insect invasion and you have to deal with constant traffic in the beach area.
With hundreds of things to do on Clearwater Beach, the main attraction is still its perfect beach. Come visit and you'll see why it was named No. 1 in the U.S. on TripAdvisor's list of Top Beaches for 2019, 2018 and 2016.
Wonder what it takes to be named the #1 Beach in the U.S.? Beautiful white sands and clear, shallow water make this beach an ideal playground for families. But really, everyone loves a beach this gorgeous. From the activity along the palm-lined Beach Walk Promenade to the serene shores of Sand Key Park, you're sure to find your perfect spot in the sand on Clearwater Beach. Rent a cabana or beach chair and beach umbrella from a local vendor (simply choose which one you want, settle down and wait for an attendant to come by for payment), or walk toward the more residential north side of the beach for a little serenity away from the bustling scene of Pier 60 and Clearwater Marina. Getting here is a breeze, too. Take advantage of free parking in downtown Clearwater, then hop on the Clearwater Ferry for a traffic-free, sunshine-filled ride to the beach.
For good eats and entertainment, you won’t be disappointed with a night of live music and dancing at buzzing establishments such as Frenchy's Rockaway Grill, Shephard's Tiki Beach Bar and Grill and Palm Pavilion Beachside Grill & Bar. Your best bet for shopping in Clearwater Beach is at the Shoppes on Sand Key and the SurfStyle store on Beach Walk.
