Make the Most of Your Clearwater Stay

A coastal destination shaped by conservation and culture

Clearwater anchors itself along Florida's Gulf Coast with nationally recognized beaches, but offers more than sun and sand. The Clearwater Marine Aquarium, a working rescue facility that gained fame through Winter the dolphin's story, demonstrates the community's commitment to marine conservation through behind-the-scenes tours and rehabilitation programs. Downtown's Capitol Theatre, a 1921 Mediterranean Revival landmark, hosts Broadway productions, while Ruth Eckerd Hall brings world-class acoustics to classical concerts and major acts.

Sophisticated dining and resort experiences

The culinary scene elevates beyond typical beach fare at establishments like Caretta on the Gulf, the area's only AAA Four-Diamond restaurant, where seasonal menus complement Gulf views. Island Way Grill draws its own boats daily for fresh catches with Asian influences. Business travelers find premium beachfront accommodations at properties like Sandpearl Resort offering conference facilities steps from shore. The nightly Sunsets at Pier 60 festival transforms the 1,080-foot pier into an artisan marketplace with street performers, balancing energy with Gulf Coast ease.

Navigating between beach and mainland

The Clearwater Ferry provides a traffic-free connection between downtown and beach, particularly valuable during peak seasons. Sand Key Park offers 95 acres of natural coastline and salt marsh ecosystems for quieter shores. The revitalized Cleveland Street District downtown presents dining and public art in a walkable setting, while nearby Dunedin and Tarpon Springs make worthwhile excursions for craft breweries and Greek heritage.
