The beach stands out as the main attraction, boasting sandy shores and crystal-clear waters within a stone's throw of hotels and dining spots. It's no surprise that Clearwater Beach secured a spot on Travel + Leisure's 2021 list of "The 14 Best Beaches in Florida." Grab a cabana with shade for the day and simply relax as an attendant attends to your needs. For a quieter beach outing, stroll northward where the crowds thin out. Whichever spot you choose, you'll have easy access to numerous amenities, including a fantastic playground near Pier 60 that kids will adore.

For a peaceful and unspoiled beach day, venture south across Clearwater Pass to Sand Key Park, a tranquil beach with vast stretches of untouched shoreline.
