Overview

Clearwater, ideally situated on the Gulf of Mexico on Florida’s west coast, offers something for every visitor, whether they plan on spending most of their time in the area or venturing into other parts of the region.

A seemingly endless supply of sun and a mild and temperate climate make Clearwater one of the country’s most popular vacation destinations.

Add to that mix some of the best beaches in the country, a wide range of nature based attractions and outdoor recreational opportunities, fun events all year long, fascinating glimpses into the region’s history and heritage, the excitement of year round professional sports and a significant concentration of cultural attractions and performing arts! The greater Clearwater area is, simply put, the perfect place to spend some time in - or out of - the sun.

Plus, its location makes it an ideal base for daily excursions to places like St. Petersburg, Tarpon Springs, Tampa, Sarasota and Orlando. And with thousands of rooms and hundreds of restaurants to fit every lifestyle and budget, visitors won’t have any problems finding the right place to sleep or eat.
