27 Best Things To Do In Clearwater Beach, Florida
1. Visit Clearwater Beach (Public Beach)
This one is pretty obvious right?! Clearwater Beach is the main beach in the city of Clearwater Beach and is amazing with its soft, white sand, and you could spend your entire trip here, just relaxing.
The beach is really clean and there are plenty of umbrellas to relax under in the shade.
There are also plenty of places to stay right at the beach since the area is lined up with hotels and resorts.
The weather here is nice throughout the year; it was in the high 70’s (F) when I visited in December.
However, the water is a little chilly this time of year, around 60-65 degrees- but I was still excited to get in the water for a while!
Clearwater Beach is not only one of the best beaches in Florida but it’s often considered to be one of the best beaches in the United States.
The beach is about a half-hour away from both Tampa and St. Petersburg.
2. Explore Sand Key Park
One of my new favorite things to do in Clearwater Beach, Florida, Sand Key Park is a beautiful beach park located on the outskirts of the city.
The park offers stunning views of the Gulf of Mexico and its white-sand beaches and clear waters are simply gorgeous.
Visitors can enjoy plenty of activities like swimming, fishing, kayaking, or just soaking in the sun.
This park offers a boardwalk, nature trail, picnic area, grills, and a dog park.
There’s also a variety of restaurants located nearby.
Sand Key Park is definitely a must-visit destination for anyone looking to enjoy the clear waters of Florida!
3. Honeymoon Island State Park
Honey Moon Island State Park is the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature while in Clearwater Beach.
Spend your time surfing, fishing, swimming, or if you’re like me, just being in the great outdoors.
There’s also a nature center where you can learn about the animals and history of the island; there are exhibits and activities for the kids, as well.
With over 4 miles of beautiful beaches, a pine tree forest, salt marshes, and wildlife, you can’t go wrong with spending your vacation here.
What’s even better is that you can take the ferry to Caladesi Island- where you can go on a treasure hunt for shells and explore the island.
But even if you don’t make it to Caladesi Island, there are plenty of shells to find here at Honeymoon Island!

4. Indian Rocks Beach
Ready for a fun outing? Consider heading to Indian Rocks Beach for a tranquil day enjoying sand, surf, and sunshine!
This quiet beach town is only 20 minutes from downtown Clearwater, making it perfectly accessible for a day or half-day trip!
I always love making a stop in Indian Rocks Beach as I’m making my way from Clearwater Beach to St Pete Beach.
Indian Rocks Beach features three miles of white sand and over 27 beach access points.
You can also find free parking near the beach access points on the First, Second, Fourth, Eighth, Twelfth, Fifteenth, and Sixteenth avenues.
Several also have showers for rinsing off the sand.
Go shelling, watch for dolphins in the surf, play in the ocean, work on your tan, or snack on a chilled watermelon while you enjoy the chill vibes.
Once you’ve absorbed enough vitamin D, stop by Guppy’s on the Beach for mouth-watering seafood.
To access Indian Rocks Beach, take the South Belleair Causeway then turn left onto 183 Gulf Boulevard.
Drive until you reach your preferred beach access point.
