Clearwater’s sugar-white sands and warm Gulf of Mexico waters have made it a popular vacation destination – and an incredible place to live. Overlooking the Gulf and connected with its famous beach by a scenic, two-mile causeway, Clearwater offers the perfect combination of work and play.

The Beach
Clearwater Beach has been named the “Best City Beach on the Gulf of Mexico.” Three miles of beachfront – all public – offer some of the best shelling, sunning and sailing opportunities anywhere, with fun shops and restaurants dotting the landscape. The newest highlight of Clearwater Beach is the nearly complete 3,000-ft. BeachWalk. The winding beach-side promenade is invigorating the personality of an already lively destination.

The Clearwater Marina houses the largest recreational fleet of fishing boats on Florida’s west coast, while the nearby located Clearwater Marine Aquarium introduces visitors to the dolphins, stingrays and sea turtles that populate the area’s waters. The city is also in the permitting stage of constructing 132 new slips with easy access to downtown. Pier 60 hosts a nightly family-oriented festival celebrating the sunset with outdoor art, music and entertainment.

In Clearwater, vacation starts every Friday.

Lots to do Inland
Coachman’s Park hosts popular community events, including the annual Clearwater Jazz Holiday. Ruth Eckerd Hall is the city’s cultural treasure, the only performing arts center in the state to be designated a Major Cultural Institution.

Multitude of Home Styles
Clearwater’s 109,000 residents enjoy a wide selection of homes, from a golf front villa in a master-planned community to a gulf front condo in an elegant high-rise. Many single-family homes, ranging from modest bungalows to upscale luxury residences serve the city’s diverse population. Many residents opt for homes with boat slips to take advantage of Clearwater’s waterfront location.

The city’s size offers a large variety of public and private school choices and its own police and fire departments.

“Clearwater is already a great place to live and in five years when the new downtown marina is complete it’s going to be even better – for residents and tourists alike. It’s a continually improving community.” Frank Dane, seven-year resident.
