Clearwater Beach sits on a long, thin island off of Florida’s west coast within 25 miles of both St. Petersburg and Tampa. Though a trip to the town from the mainland takes just a few minutes, you’ll feel worlds away from the big-city atmosphere you’re leaving behind. This laid-back area is known for its beautiful coastline – U.S. News ranks Clearwater Beach as one of Florida’s best beaches – but you’ll also find a number of other attractions worth checking out.

Best Months to Visit
January-March
Temperatures are mild (think: daytime averages in the high 60s to mid-70s) during this time of year, making winter a great time for outdoor activities like hiking and biking. You may also catch a glimpse of some of Florida’s most unique wildlife, including roseate spoonbills and manatees, when visiting Honeymoon Island State Park in winter. However, this peak season brings an influx of tourists to the area, so hotel rates are higher. Consider reserving your accommodations months in advance to ensure availability.
April-June
Clearwater Beach warms up to the high 80s during the day by the end of the spring season, but it’s still a nice time to visit. Bird species like great blue herons migrate to the area in spring to lay eggs. You’ll also find more stingrays in the waters, which makes for exciting snorkeling adventures. When you’re visiting the beach, keep an eye out for sea turtle nests. Endangered species like loggerheads start nesting here in April. Also, keep in mind that June marks the start of hurricane season in the Atlantic, so while unlikely, storms may potentially develop late in spring. Because of this, hotel prices are typically less expensive than in other seasons, especially in June.
