The island of Clearwater Beach, linked to the mainland by the Clearwater Memorial Causeway, looks over the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Mexico. With fine white, sandy beaches, this is the ideal spot for those in search of the ultimate beach holiday. Clearwater Beach is a great base for exploring Caladesi Island State Park and Sand Key - we promise, you'll never experiences sun and sand quite like it. The waters of the Gulf are calm and family-friendly. The dolphin love it there too and sightings are frequent. Be sure to take in one of the prettiest sunsets in the world and join in the nightly sunset celebrations at Pier 60.
St. Petersburg is just 20 miles from the city of Tampa. Over the last twenty years St Pete, as it's 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 area has a vibrancy and excitement that you will find positively infectious. The pier is the social hub, with shops, restaurants and bars making it a fun place at any time of the day or night.
