Clearwater Holidays

The island of Clearwater Beach, linked to the mainland by The Clearwater Memorial Causeway, looks over the sparkling waters of the Gulf. With its fine white sandy beaches, Clearwater Beach is an ideal spot certain to induce a relaxed holiday mood. By day, watch the dolphin frolic and by night join in the sunset celebration at Pier 60. Each evening, the festival features artisans, crafters, street performers, live musical entertainment and of course, one of the prettiest sunsets in the world!

St. Petersburg Holidays

St. Petersburg is just 20 miles from the city of Tampa. Over the last twenty years St Pete. – as it known locally – has changed dramatically; it was a place with a very high average age full of retirees from more northerly climes. Nowadays the average age is half of what it was at its peak and the resort has a vibrancy and excitement that you will find positively infectious on your St. Petersburg holiday. The pier is the social hub, with shops, restaurants and bars making it a fun place at any time of the day or night.
