Clearwater Beach includes a resort area and a residential area on the
Gulf of Mexico in
Pinellas County on the west central coast of
Florida. Just west over the
Intracoastal Waterway by way of the
Clearwater Memorial Causeway from the city of
Clearwater, Florida, of which it is part, Clearwater Beach is located at a geographic latitude is 27.57 N and longitude 82.48 W. The average local temperature is 73 °
F (23 °C), with fall and spring being the most comfortable seasons. In
January 2013, Clearwater Beach was awarded the designation of
Florida's Best Beach
Town by a reader poll from
USA Today readers. It competed against nine other Florida beach destinations entered in the poll.
Clearwater Beach is characterized by white sand beaches stretching for 2.5 miles (4 km) along the Gulf and sits on a barrier island. It has a full marina on the Intracoastal Waterway side and is linked on the south by a short bridge to another barrier island called Sand Key, where
Sand Key Park is located.
Clearwater Beach is approximately 20 miles (
30 km) from
Tampa International Airport and 25 miles (40 km) from downtown
Tampa. It offers shopping, restaurants, and activities such as parasailing, jet ski rentals, boat tours (with a common sighting of dolphins in the Gulf waters), miniature golf, fishing charters, and "pirate ship" cruises.
Pier 60, named for
State Road 60 which terminates in Clearwater Beach, is a central spot for beachgoers and has a playground, a snack bar with attached souvenir shop, and a long fishing pier.
It's the site of a daily event called
Sunsets at Pier 60, which includes street performers and musical acts. On the pier itself is a nightly display of goods sold by local artisans such as jewelry, candles, and other gift items.
The Clearwater Jolley Trolley has provided transportation up and down the beach since
1982. It currently runs to North Clearwater Beach and down to Sand Key, including
Island Estates. Mandalay
Avenue is the main drag on the north end of the beach with Gulfview
Boulevard being so on the south. Both areas feature a variety of businesses.
Clearwater has frequently been ranked one of the best beaches in the
U.S. Its Sandpearl resort was named one of the best beach resorts in the U.S. In 2009 an episode of
Brooke Knows Best was shot on the beach
