Clearwater Florida

Florida's Beach is where you want to be! Close to everything, yet miles away.
Clearwater is a beautiful peninsula located on Florida's West coast. The area is
bordered by the Gulf of Mexico to the west and by Tampa Bay to the east.

Home to Caladesi Beach, America’s #2 beach in 2006. Also home to Fort De Soto
Park, America’s #1 beach in 2005, we offer 35 miles of white-sand beaches on some
eight major barrier islands. We're within minutes of many popular Florida attractions:
just 30 minutes to Busch Gardens in Tampa and 90 minutes to Walt Disney World
Resort, Sea World and Universal Studios Escape in Orlando. Clearwater and its
island beaches are one of Florida's most popular vacation spots. Because of our
world-renown beaches, our extensive recreational opportunities, including the largest
recreational fishing fleet on the West Coast of Florida, walking distance to
restaurants and attractions, and all types of accommodations designed to fit every
budget and taste, and nature-based attractions, we are the place to play in Tampa
Bay!

Termperate and mild, the area boasts an average yearly temperature of 73º F (23º
C) and average water temperatures by season: Spring 73.7º F, Summer 84.7º F, Fall
76.7º F, Winter 63.7º F.

Clearwater is safer, more affordable, quieter and calmer than other more prominent
destinations. In fact, in a Money Magazine poll, Clearwater was named the safest of
all Florida cities.

Because of Clearwater's proximity to Orlando, only 90 minutes away, it is logical to
make Clearwater-with its beautiful beaches, warm tropical breezes, and breathtaking
sunsets-"home base" for excursions.

of Tampa. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 108,787;
