What to do in Clearwater

Part of the Pinellas Suncoast, a 28-mile stretch of sand as white as milk and water as warm as the coffee you put it in, Clearwater sits on the western side of Florida as a pristine stretch of beachfront property on the Gulf of Mexico. It’s the third component of the Tampa Bay Area trifecta—enclosing the triangle with nearby St. Petersburg. The city takes full advantage of its prime acreage, influenced heavily by the “life’s a beach” mentality—both Hooters and the Church of Scientology are headquartered here. The most popular beach, Clearwater Beach, is the only one that’s watched by lifeguards year-round, meaning the water temperature and sunshine is near-perfect 365 days a year. To get the best view of the city, visit Pier 60 during a setting sun. Loved by locals and street performers, the pier is a good gauge of this city’s character.
