Located to the North of St Petersburg, Clearwater Beach attracts a lot of straight folks, and an especially large quantity of college-aged beach-goers. Especially during Spring Break, beware though…as most are straight. Plan on a long drive there and hope for some parking, but it is said to be “the beach to go to in Fl, if you don’t want a big-name beach.”
Wide sugar-sand beaches and emerald-clear waters (you might spot a dolphin or two!) make this the perfect beach scene. Soak in the sun, then dust off the sand and enjoy all this city-beach has to offer from Beach Walk's shops, to waterfront restaurants such as Frenchy's, and rooftop bars including Jimmy's Crow's Nest.
