Great news everyone, the construction in downtown Clearwater Beach is done! The businesses and restaurants are open. The people are friendly, and there is a lot of fun to be had by all.
Clearwater Beach is one of Florida’s most popular vacation destinations and is very popular with locals. It is also the only city in Pinellas County that has lifeguards on duty 365 days a year. The beaches’ location and close proximity to Tampa International Airport and to St. Petersburg-Clearwater airport, makes it easily accessible for weekends and vacationers alike.
Accommodations are plentiful since this is a resort and vacation center. You can choose the Hilton, the Holiday Inn, or one of many other resorts or hotels, or you can choose one of the delightful, locally owned establishments such as Barefoot Bay.
