On the Pinellas Peninsula, across Tampa Bay from Tampa, you will find the city of Clearwater overlooking the beautiful Clearwater Harbor and intra coastal waterway that surrounds the Gulf side of the peninsula. Just a short drive across this intra coastal waterway will put you on Clearwater Beach, one of the most popular city beaches in Florida. Known for its silky sands and many public amenities, Clearwater Beach is the perfect spot to enjoy the warm Gulf waters. After spending a day at the beach be sure to hit St. Petersburg for some of the best shopping, dining and night life the Pinellas Peninsula has to offer. For an adventure with the kids or if you just want to learn a little bit about the marine life in the area visit the Clearwater Marine Aquarium while you are here. For those nature watchers, Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary in Indian Shores has an average of 500 sea and land birds for you to watch and enjoy. If that is not enough, don’t forget about all the attractions that Tampa itself can provide. From professional football to a night at the opera, Tampa is a great city to visit while you stay in Clearwater. Tampa also houses the nearest airport, Tampa International Airport (TPA, 20 miles) |
