Editorial Review for Clearwater Beach – by Eric Vician
Overview
Clearwater Beach is actually an island several miles long but only four city blocks wide. The average year-round temperature is 73 degrees, 75 in the water. Every moment presents itself as a photo op here, starting with the roundabout and fountain at the entrance to the beach. It's all picture perfect--from the white beach to the gulf waters and all that's in between.

Clearwater Beach is one of the nicest beaches you'll find. Unlike the gritty sand or crushed coral you'll find in Ft Lauderdale, the soft sand is so white, it'll blind you! Make sure you bring your shades. The water is clean and clear. Not to mention, being on the gulf, you can walk rather far into the water before going over your head. Not to mention, you can see where you walk in the water! There's a variety of things to do there. The weeks are calmer than the weekends. Parking is pretty good considering it's such a busy place. You can also stay and watch the sunset! Most weekends, you'll find a band playing with covered shelter for you to sit and listen. There are ample showers and places to change your clothes if you like. Then head across or down the street to get some great fresh seafood. Yes, there is more than seafood at most all of the places. It's a long strip of white sand, so if you love long walks on the beach, this place is for you. A good mixture of people makes it just right. Do I like it? Oh yeah... So much, I moved here now! Jealous? =)
Pros: Sparkling White Soft Sand, Volleyball, Sunsets
Cons: You have to share the beach with other people
