Our world-renown beaches, extensive recreational opportunities, nature-based attractions, and the availability of accommodations designed to fit every budget and taste, are all reasons why Clearwater and its island beaches are one of Florida's most popular vacation spots. Come put yourselves in our shoes!
Clearwater Beach is the Best City Beach on the Gulf of Mexico according to Dr. Stephen Leatherman ("Dr. Beach") , a Florida International University professor who has been ranking America’s beaches for over a decade. USATODAY.com readers have ranked Clearwater Beach in their Top 10 List of Best Beaches from Maine to Hawaii. Conde Nast Traveler has also recognized Clearwater Beach as the Best City Beach on the Gulf of Mexico and the Travel Channel has declared Clearwater is the Best Activity Beach in the United States.

Caladesi Island State Park is currently ranked the fourth best beach, primarily for its water quality, rustic charm, clean beaches, on-site amenities and its emphasis on wildlife. Pinellas County is the only Florida destination which can say it has two of the top 10 beaches; in fact, Fort DeSoto Park is ranked the #1 Beach in the United States.
Clearwater is very proud to be designated a Blue Wave Beach. This certification program, overseen by the Clean Beaches Council, promotes beaches which are managed to protect their natural assets. This designation assists the public in identifying the nation's cleanest and safest beaches. Caladesi Island, Honeymoon Island and Sand Key Park beaches have also received the Blue Wave Designation.
Clearwater Beach is undergoing a dramatic renaissance, the most significant improvement to Clearwater's tourism economy in decades. Our Billion Dollar Beach includes over one billion dollars in private development, a mix of upscale hotel accommodations, residential condominiums and Beach Walk, the City of Clearwater's beautification program. Beach Walk will dramatically complement the beach's landscape - and the visitor experience - by adding green space and public areas with more amenities as well as improving pedestrian access. Several private projects are already underway, including four major hotel/condo properties. Phase One of Beach Walk construction began in January 2006 and will last approximately 12 months.
