Clearwater has world-class beaches. Just ask Dr. Beach if you haven't heard the news. He's given Clearwater Beach the designation of "Best City Beach" on the Gulf of Mexico for several years running. And Caladesi Island has been named "America's Best Beach" in 2008.

But there's much more going on "at the beach" than just pristine, aquamarine water and smooth white sand. There's great activities and special events not to mention some of the best accomadations you'll find anywhere in the world. That's why many vacationers come back year after year.
