This beach area has a wonderful parking area just beside the beach. We were there in April 09. Easter holiday. Good weather so it was a bit too crowded for my taste. The beach itself is beautiful with white powdery sand & shallow waters, great for children. Lots of young people around having fun & playing beach volleyball. more

This was our 2nd visit in 2 years to Clearwater Beach and let me say, Clearwater Beach Rocks and it just keeps getting better. I am not even a beach person and I love this place. I love the white sand, the people, the sites, the night life, the streets, Pier 60...Man, It is awesome. Clearwater is good for families,... more

I've been to Clearwater Beach many times as my dad lives just a short 15 minute drive away.The sand can be a little shelly, and the beach can sometimes have seaweed, but the amazing sunset is totally worth it.

This is not a good place for anyone interested in night life. There were several good restaurants (Post Corner Pizza & Restaurant a stand-out), but almost everything closed... more

We went on Easter Sunday; we got to Pier 60 area early, around 10 and found no parking, but found more easily just past the pier - fed the meter and then went to the Marina - went on the Sea Screamer and saw ALOT of dolphins - they get the dolphins to play in the wake of the boat... more

A very cool beach. We were here for spring training and the beach was packed with spring breakers. We drank on the beach, which is not allowed but kept to ourselves and everyone left us alone. I did see the police ticket some spring breakers, even though they were drinking from cups, but it turned out it was just a... more

Long lines getting over the bridge to get to beach and no place to turn around..bring your quarters! more

It may be one of the best beaches, IF you can get to it. On a beautiful late April day we wanted to see the sunset from the beach but with very heavy traffic and NO parking places anywhere we left. Note: all parking is metered. About a mile down the road is another small beach, but the ubiquitous meters... more
