I'm lucky enough to have lived here for many years and have friends that live across street from beach...Will never leave...luv luv luv it here...20 years ago it was so quiet and homey...now more touristy...unless ur on north beach. Most beautiful waters!!!
When I moved here in 1979, there was a trailer park right on the beach, next to the round SeaShell Motel. It was where the Hilton is today. I did sketches of both, and lost them over the years. I think the beach has changed for the worse in so many ways: overbuilt, over-crowded, too much traffic, all the old charm gone. On the plus side - the Sunset Pier event is wonderful, and the promenade a perfect addition.
It was my first Florida beach, as my grandparents lived in nearby Dunedin. It has really attracted a lot more development - some good, but overall more congested. I always liked Sand Key on days when the main beach was crowded. Eating breakfast at an outdoor place across from the beach was always nice, as the crowds are fairly thin before noon (at least they used to be). As a kid, I liked collecting shells, seahorse carcasses and looking at the big horseshoe crabs that came in with the tide. They used to have a steel band playing on the terrace of the Adam's Mark Hotel, but that looks like it has been replaced, or absorbed into another hotel. Several decades later, it still has its charms, but I think I would prefer longer-term stays at a more tranquil beach. I do like that free parking is offered downtown with a ferry to the beach, as you used to have to feed the meters, or get tickets. I wonder if the Scientology gang is still big in Clearwater? Their HQ used to be in downtown. Lots of great memories there, but I think I will take Siesta Key or Lido Beach, near Sarasota.
I went to Clearwater Beach for the first time last month and was very impressed and will return there. It is safe but not boring and has appeal for both families and singles. Also, the beach is very well maintained as they have equipment working on the sand all the time to keep it smooth and clean.
I grew up in the 1970s in Tampa. When our dad would take my siblings and me to Clearwater, there was almost nothing there but now… It’s just so beautiful! I am planning to move there in a year or two and I’m so happy! I will continue to let God‘s will be done in my life but i’m coming to Clearwater!
I've been going to Clearwater for years for business and I've never got to see any of this. Now that I've seen a video this good, and I'm retired I have to head back. Keep up the work.
Love seeing my hometown grown up. I do not recognize much compared to my childhood and suddenly you would show something that brought me back to being a kid. Thank you.
During my lifetime I've literally watched 1000 sunsets at Clearwater Beach. It's a great place to visit. It has changed so much from when I moved there in the 60's. For the locals, not for the better.
It’s gorgeous there! So many great restaurants out past Sand Key. And lots of quieter public beaches if you have a car and can drive an extra 20 minutes. The sunsets are the most beautiful that I have ever seen.
Was there for a week last June. Very Beautiful. Swam in the Ocean for two hours everyday. The beach covered in white sand was stunning. Saw dolphins swimming near the Pier. Rained everyday but always got nice afterwards. Need to go back and go on a dolphin cruise.
Your video gives an excellent review of Clearwater Beach's amenities. Clearwater Beach is beautiful and your Aerial views shows why Clearwater Beach has been rated as Best Beach for so many years.
I lived there for 50 yrs. We owned real estate office and motel in the 60's. It was so home spun with small ma and pa businesses and motels compared to what it looks like today.
Kudos, the detailed description of each place/location is beyond exceptional. The time and effort you put into the making of this video shines with brilliance! Keep up the awesome work!
Love Clearwater, been there once with family and once with friends. It’s busy but the beach town vibes are awesome, the Gulf Coast is truly beautiful with the nice warm ocean and the relaxed city by the beach. Definitely gonna go back
In February of this year was my first time in Florida. I love it so much that i went back in April. I've been in Wisconsin my whole life 59 years and i want to move to Florida. I can't take winter anymore. Soon i hope. Y'all got it made
One year I stumbled upon Clearwater Beach & My Heart has been there ever since!! Went back twice last year & looking forward to this year!!💞 Thanks for the video!
Wow how its changed. I was born at Morton Plant hospital n 1961. Graduated Clearwater High school n 1979. Worked for a lawn maintenance company in the 80's and Terry Hogan otherwise known as Hulk Hogan was one of our accounts, when he lived on the intercoastal waterway, and his daughter was still n diapers. I even got to meet Randy Savage at Terry's. Anyway Clearwater beach is definitely much different now than the 60's and since I moved away in 1985. Dad always had a boat so I learned how to fish and then became married and my matron of honor and best friend Pam Estes and i would get up at 4:30 am to get dads boat and go to the grass flats off Anchlote Key and go sea trout fishing, catching Redfish, Snook , Trout. Or when it was in season for scallops. We always had a blast. I am n my 50's now but would dearly love to go back for a visit and fishing trip. I can truly say without a doubt Clearwater Beach is definitely a fantastic destination for the whole family. Please keep her clean, and on hot days dig your toes down n the sand where it gets cool. It feels so nice to your feet. And if your walking n the water always do the stingray shuffle and you won't get stung! Enjoy!
My husband and I love Clearwater Beach! We’ve stayed at The Holiday Inn & Suites on Gulfview Blvd. past two years. The beaches are so beautiful. The weather was stunning. Thanks for sharing. Loved the video. 😍
My fondest memories are of vacationing with my family at the Bon-Aire on St. Pete Beach. We started going in the early 60's. We would fly into Whitted airport and drive over to the beach. We would visit the Seaquarium, Tussaud's Wax Museum and play Tiki Jungle Golf (it's still there). Favorite places included Ted Peters Smoked Fish in Pasadena and Louis Pappas. We have returned a couple of times in the last decade and will return again. One of my favorite places on earth.
I live in Orlando and go to Clearwater Beach as often as I can. Was there just yesterday with friends. Had an amazing time and ate at the “ Clearsky “ Cafe which has to be one of the finest eateries in the area. Plenty of water sports on the beach. We did the banana boat ride which was a ton of fun. I’m actually planning on buying a home on Clearwater Beach and can’t wait to move in
when my husband and i went it rained most the time but we were able to get a couple of days of sunshine but tried to have a good time anyway!!!! Saw Winta the Dolphin had a dinner cruise which was nice and saw the beach which was nice too!!!!! So we had fun and loved it anyway!!!
Stayed at the Hilton Clearwater for a week in 2005 on our 25th wedding anniversary before going onto Longboat keys in Sarasota. Enjoyed both places. Clearwater is as beautiful as it looks.
Love the Clearwater Beach area...we've been heading down the last seven years or so to get out of the Iowa cold for a week or two. Great video...learned some new things that we'll have to check out!
You did not mention Frenchy's S.Beach Cafe , Frenchys Frenchys Rockaway , Frenchy's Original Cafe , and Frenchy's Saltwater Cafe . I have lived in Clearwater for 20 years and if I'm on the beach with family or friends , we are going to Frenchy's ! But otherwise , great video !
You know we actually shot Frenchy's and really considered putting it in the video, but the area it was in, we just decided not to, but I did put a link to it in the descriptions. Certainly Frenchy's is a locals favorite.
I love Clearwater beach. One of my favorite place to visit. I've been there multiple times and stayed at both Whyndham and the Hayatt. The Grouper from Frenchy's one of my favorites. Can't wait to go back again.
I lived in clearwater from 2001 - 2007, it was fantastic! great town, many great beaches not just clearwater the whole gulf side st pete, bradenton, sarasota siesta key. far far nicer than the Atlantic side of florida, far more livable and more tropical. People who put down florida dont know what theyre talking about. the place is super nice.
@@TampaAerialMedia Cool Yup lived in sarasota siesta key as well, college years Ringling. loved it, although i would say, back then sarasota was still kinda sleepy, which was great, right before the influx of newcomers, "new-money" and the negatives that follows with that. im talking early 90's while sarasota was still a bit of a secret hot spot. when the newbees came it so did their snobery. what was not a part of sarasota. but as is the case places change, Its still beautiful and nice, but the aire about the place is not the same.
Looking forward to being there in a few days. It's been a few years since my last visit. Last girls trip we stayed at Shepard's Beach Resort. It's a nice place with great entertainment. We took the trolley around which was convenient. Went to Sand Key to a nice restaurant for dinner (Columbia). This time staying closer to Pier 60. Love the beach!
So i went to Clearwater in 2017 and stayed at the Wyndham Grand. It was SO great and now is my favorite place to travel! It was so warm and the sand was SO white it looked like snow!! (I live in Wisconsin). Im going there on April 7th and im SO exited!!
Your productions are great! Tip for travelers: Google map the neighborhoods near the beach, you can find free street parking when you click on street zoom and just search the area. Or just drive around when you get there. I've found off street parking in New Orleans & Clearwater during high traffic times. Think like a local.
Love it! My favorite beach by far and I have been to many...CA beaches can not compare, in my opinion!...used to live near Clearwater and can’t wait to visit again!
I live 2 miles away and barely go there. Kinda boring if you’re from around here and have done everything. But I can see that for tourist this can be awesome.
I’ve lived here for three years and didn’t really know how many things there are to do on Clearwater Beach. I’m going to check out some of the nice restaurants with those beautiful views. Thanks for this video.
There has been so much construction in Florida. I was in Clearwater years ago, and wow has it changed. I still think Fort Lauderdale, has some of the most beautiful beaches in the nation, and I am glad I only live 11 miles west of the beach area.
2018 of march i was here and was so impressed with the beauty white sand blue water the restaurant frenchies was awesome nice breeze and the ambiance was perfect I ❤America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏾
I take my boat out Clearwater pass and head north up to the islands north of there. If you can get out on a boat, you'll find islands north of there...and on weekdays...sometimes you can have a half mile beach all to yourselves! Also...Not sure if they mentioned Frenchy's here. Check them out...great food! I love Frenchy's Rockaway....
I live in a condo on the intercostal side of Clearwater - love it...You don't need to stay at one of the expensive hotels mentioned. There are plenty of cute little boutique hotels...even Palm Pavilion has an affordable little hotel....I suggest plan on not driving because traffic is a bummer and you can really walk, trolley or rent and ride a bike up and down Mandalay....the Bait House is a great place for lunch or any of the Frenchy's restaurants, as is Cooters and Palm Pavillion. I suggest riding a bike all the way down to the last public access on North Beach (take a cooler backpack with snacks and drinks)...park it on the beach and then walk all the way down to Caladesi Island and look for shells. Take the trolley to Dunedin one Saturday for the Market perhaps....really fun little downtown area. You can also rent Kayaks on Caladesi or Honeymoon Island. You can rent paddle boards as well. This video had great suggestions, but you can also have a ton of fun and enjoy the beach without spending so much money.
Beaches opening up 7am Monday May 4th. Parking lots will be open, but still practice safe distancing. Time to take advantage of the Anti-Viral Vit D Properties of the Sun in a salt-water environment.
We walk Clearwater Beach frequently early in the morning and are constantly amazed by the amount of left behind trash we find and collect. Yes, there are beach cleaning machines but they don’t go below the high water mark and the garbage there is disturbing; plastic cups, bags, toys, beer bottles, water bottles, dirty diapers, remnants of meals, cans, and even pieces of clothing and blankets have been collected on our walks. It’s disgusting that people who come to any beach to enjoy its beauty leave their trash for others to clean up. I have a suggestion that the businesses, especially those with direct access to the beach, have their employees, many of whom are erecting umbrellas for their guests, pick up the trash they see instead of walking over it and then extend their survey to the waters edge. If done twice a day, it would help enormously. And visitors, take a bag along to pick up your own junk and some that you find. Thanks.
I Have Truly Loved Your Videos Of The East Coast From NC To The Florida Keys! It Is My Dream To Maybe One Day Living On The Beachfront Either Home Wise Or Other; Thanks So Much For Sharing :-D NC USA
Yea, we actually shot Frenchy's but just couldn't figure out where to fit it in the video and didn't want it to be too long, but yea, we certainly should have included them.
This past weekend was the first time we've ever been to Clearwater Beach. We were visiting from Jacksonville Florida, and we absolutely loved it. I was like a kid again when I found out Hulk Hogan had a store there. I was hoping to see him but sadly I didn't.
It's a beautiful beach, and I really do enjoy it. However, when you compare it to places like Myrtle, Virginia Beach, and Ocean City, MD, there isn't really a lot to do outside of the beach itself. I know there are some people who don't enjoy the tourist beach vibe, but Clearwater already has that but without all the fun touristy things to do that are great for families. Sure, there a a few shops and restaurants. Some boat tours, and a mini golf course, but not much else. Maybe I just got used to having endless things to do going to the previously mentioned beaches and that's why Clearwater was a little disappointing for me. A nice boardwalk amusement park would be awesome. Maybe a few more mini golf courses and some more shops and restaurants. More for families to do. There are plenty of non-built up beaches in the area that they could do a lot more with Clearwater.
I tend to agree with you on that. Personally I like VA Bch & Ocean City better. We will be most likely doing 2 or all 3 of those beaches you mentioned next summer.
@@TampaAerialMedia That would be wonderful! I grew up going to VA Beach and just visited Ocean City for the first time this summer and really loved the vibe!
I live in Clearwater and I love going down to the beach and Pier 60 for the Sunset party.
I'm lucky enough to have lived here for many years and have friends that live across street from beach...Will never leave...luv luv luv it here...20 years ago it was so quiet and homey...now more touristy...unless ur on north beach. Most beautiful waters!!!
I was a child in the 60"s and came of age in the 70's. Spent a lot of my young life on Clearwater Beach. It has changed dramatically.
Has it changed better or worse? You didn’t mention how it’s changed in any which way ...
When I moved here in 1979, there was a trailer park right on the beach, next to the round SeaShell Motel. It was where the Hilton is today. I did sketches of both, and lost them over the years.

I know. My condo was in Palm Harbor (9 miles north). I wish I was back there. When I go to FL. I still enjoy it.
@@steveervinck Soooo much better. Feels like a little California vibe.

I've been there in 2021, it was absolutely paradise!! Cried in the airport when departing back to New jersey!!
I moved to Clearwater from Miami 6 years ago. It was the best move of my life!
Really I lived in south beach from 97 to 2014 how is Clearwater
It’s gorgeous there! So many great restaurants out past Sand Key. And lots of quieter public beaches if you have a car and can drive an extra 20 minutes. The sunsets are the most beautiful that I have ever seen.
Love Clearwater, my family went there in May, beautiful and peaceful place, good foods as well, we will be back for sure, soon
Was there for a week last June. Very Beautiful. Swam in the Ocean for two hours everyday. The beach covered in white sand was stunning. Saw dolphins swimming near the Pier. Rained everyday but always got nice afterwards. Need to go back and go on a dolphin cruise.
wow i have not seen or step foot there since 1981 when i was a young teen i am now 50 years old , i miss florida ,tampa and all its stuff
I live in Clearwater and go to the beach almost every weekend and it's nice but it can get crowded and lots of traffic so I suggest going early.
Leo if I go in the summer what month is the best???
@@raulcamarillo89 in June
Is it very crowded in February?
Good for you leo
Or staying late.. I miss Clearwater.
You are my hero. When I can't travel, you make it possible.

I went here in 2018 with my wife, my daughter and grandchildren . It was long travel from the the Philippines.
Yes, that’s Clearwater Beach! It’s as beautiful as shown on this video. I love it!

I been living in Clearwater beach for 20 yrs especially feeling the breeze at night from your bedroom
My FAMILY & I USE TO VISIT CLEAR WATER FLORIDA MOSTLY EVERY WEEKEND 1960'S 70'S BEAUTIFUL CITY FUN 🌞
Outstanding video production, 20 years since I moved from Tampa Bay . Did not recognized Clearwater Beach. Thanks for the excellent video
Thankyou for the nice words.
Best videos I have ever seen on you-tube or anywhere else. Extremely Impressed. Fabulous narration. Always wanting more, and they provide.....
Home never looked better. Thank you so much for this amazing tour video.

Yep that is a good resort, thanks for the nice words.
I’ve went to Clear Water Beach in April of 2019 and I absolutely loved it 😍😍😍🙂
Same here
We just got back from Clearwater Beach. Prior to going down there, we watched this video. It was very informative and helpful. Great job!
That is great to hear Mike, thanks for taking to time to let us know.
This video is spot on. I visit Clearwater beach every weekend and I am awestruck each time!!!!
Thankyou for the feedback.

That is a great airport to fly into, quite a view.
Great beach, great video. Lots of new places up that coast. Miss it.
im taking my Mother to clearwater beach April 1-6, 2020. thanks so much for your wonderful video.
It will probably be alittle crowded then, but hope you have a great time.

I first visited Clearwater in 2015 & again last year. The views are amazing & Frenchy's Rockaway Grill has the best grouper sandwiches in the Gulf!
when my husband and i went it rained most the time but we were able to get a couple of days of sunshine but tried to have a good time anyway!!!! Saw Winta the Dolphin had a dinner cruise which was nice and saw the beach which was nice too!!!!! So we had fun and loved it anyway!!!
Stayed at the Hilton Clearwater for a week in 2005 on our 25th wedding anniversary before going onto Longboat keys in Sarasota. Enjoyed both places. Clearwater is as beautiful as it looks.
I just came back from Clearwater Beach. It's amazing!!!!
I would love to live there...
Love the Clearwater Beach area...we've been heading down the last seven years or so to get out of the Iowa cold for a week or two.
Great video...learned some new things that we'll have to check out!
You did not mention Frenchy's S.Beach Cafe , Frenchys Frenchys Rockaway , Frenchy's Original Cafe , and Frenchy's Saltwater Cafe .
I have lived in Clearwater for 20 years and if I'm on the beach with family or friends , we are going to Frenchy's !
But otherwise , great video !
You know we actually shot Frenchy's and really considered putting it in the video, but the area it was in, we just decided not to, but I did put a link to it in the descriptions. Certainly Frenchy's is a locals favorite.
And crabbys
I ate at frenchy's two years ago,it was fabulous at sunset on the patio the ambience, food was great

We took the trolley around which was convenient. Went to Sand Key to a nice restaurant for dinner (Columbia). This time staying closer to Pier 60. Love the beach!
Hope you have a great time Mary
I can’t wait, l am
Moving to clearwater
Its very crowded here. I wish i didnt live here. The only good thing about it is the beach
So i went to Clearwater in 2017 and stayed at the Wyndham Grand. It was SO great and now is my favorite place to travel! It was so warm and the sand was SO white it looked like snow!! (I live in Wisconsin). Im going there on April 7th and im SO exited!!
Thanks for sharing, hope you have a great time again.
I used to live 2 blocks from the beach. I miss it almost everyday.
Beautiful beach 😍 I was just there with my family in July . Siesta beach is also beautiful 👌🏼. Waves were more calm
Yep true, Siesta Key Beach voted #1 this year by Trip Advisor.
Your productions are great!
Tip for travelers: Google map the neighborhoods near the beach, you can find free street parking when you click on street zoom and just search the area. Or just drive around when you get there. I've found off street parking in New Orleans & Clearwater during high traffic times. Think like a local.
Thats great advice. Google maps a great tool.
Just moved to Clearwater Beach from Minnesota 3 weeks ago. Love it. Video of my neighborhood.
yep probably a good move getting out of MN. I love MN, but Minneapolis has got big time problems.
@@TampaAerialMedia Twin Cities is haven for crooks and scum bags. I'm very have I move out of that state.
That beach look awesome 🤩
clearwater has grown so much over the last 15 years
Going to Clearwater for spring break in less than 3 weeks. Too excited man great video!
Love it! My favorite beach by far and I have been to many...CA beaches can not compare, in my opinion!...used to live near Clearwater and can’t wait to visit again!
Yep I agree, I think CA beaches are not nearly as clean
@@TampaAerialMedia not nearly as clean and usually freezing...even in the middle of summer!
I live 2 miles away and barely go there. Kinda boring if you’re from around here and have done everything. But I can see that for tourist this can be awesome.

Moses not even 15 minutes.
Fernando Ortiz thought so thanks
watching your video made us change our holiday destination
Thats good to know, hope you enjoy your stay.
AGREE NUMBER 1 BEACH IN USA!! WE VISIT CLEARWATER LAST DECEMBER AND WE LOVE THIS BEACH!! VERY NICE ESPECIALLY THE WHITESAND!
Yes, yes, yes. My favorite beach and that of my sons, now in their 20's. Love the clean and clear water beaches. 😍
Incredible best 2 vacations we've had cant wait to go back!!
I went here for the Fourth of July in 2019 and it was awesome! definitely want to come back
I live 30 mins from Clearwater Beach. Its fun to skimboard there!🏄🏽♂️
I’ve lived here for three years and didn’t really know how many things there are to do on Clearwater Beach. I’m going to check out some of the nice restaurants with those beautiful views. Thanks for this video.
Thankyou, yea, I worked on Clwtr Beach many times, and didn't realize it until we did this video.
Yes!! Clearwater #1 America's Beach! 🏝
No.1 clear water beach in 2020 pure naturally beach
There has been so much construction in Florida. I was in Clearwater years ago, and wow has it changed. I still think Fort Lauderdale, has some of the most beautiful beaches in the nation, and I am glad I only live 11 miles west of the beach area.
2018 of march i was here and was so impressed with the beauty white sand blue water the restaurant frenchies was awesome nice breeze and the ambiance was perfect I ❤America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏾
I take my boat out Clearwater pass and head north up to the islands north of there. If you can get out on a boat, you'll find islands north of there...and on weekdays...sometimes you can have a half mile beach all to yourselves! Also...Not sure if they mentioned Frenchy's here. Check them out...great food! I love Frenchy's Rockaway....
yep good point. We shot Frenchy's and was going to add it, but it just got clipped in the final edit, but yes Frenchy's is a local's favorite.
Moving to Clearwater the first week in April. I love the place and can't wait to get there.
Welcome to Clearwater. I think you'll like it.
I'm glad I live in Clearwater
I live close enough!!!!
Me too
Todd m I SAW THAT SIGN FOR A QUICK SECOND AND I RHOUGHT TI SAID TAKPON HDGDKAIRUR
You have an extra bedroom ill glady pay you rent👍🏾
I live in a condo on the intercostal side of Clearwater - love it...You don't need to stay at one of the expensive hotels mentioned. There are plenty of cute little boutique hotels...even Palm Pavilion has an affordable little hotel....I suggest plan on not driving because traffic is a bummer and you can really walk, trolley or rent and ride a bike up and down Mandalay....the Bait House is a great place for lunch or any of the Frenchy's restaurants, as is Cooters and Palm Pavillion. I suggest riding a bike all the way down to the last public access on North Beach (take a cooler backpack with snacks and drinks)...park it on the beach and then walk all the way down to Caladesi Island and look for shells. Take the trolley to Dunedin one Saturday for the Market perhaps....really fun little downtown area. You can also rent Kayaks on Caladesi or Honeymoon Island. You can rent paddle boards as well. This video had great suggestions, but you can also have a ton of fun and enjoy the beach without spending so much money.
Yep the Palm Pavilion & Frenchy's (a Clearwater Beach icon) are great suggestions.
Well done.Great drone work.👍🏼
Thankyou for the nice words.
@@TampaAerialMedia yes steller shots!

I am going in a few weeks,I am so excited!!
Love Clearwater beach! It's Fun beach and just like the narrator said it's clean and prestine!! Cannot wait to go back!
We walk Clearwater Beach frequently early in the morning and are constantly amazed by the amount of left behind trash we find and collect. Yes, there are beach cleaning machines but they don’t go below the high water mark and the garbage there is disturbing; plastic cups, bags, toys, beer bottles, water bottles, dirty diapers, remnants of meals, cans, and even pieces of clothing and blankets have been collected on our walks. It’s disgusting that people who come to any beach to enjoy its beauty leave their trash for others to clean up.
I have a suggestion that the businesses, especially those with direct access to the beach, have their employees, many of whom are erecting umbrellas for their guests, pick up the trash they see instead of walking over it and then extend their survey to the waters edge. If done twice a day, it would help enormously. And visitors, take a bag along to pick up your own junk and some that you find. Thanks.
Love Clearwater and its beaches amazing place
We have a condo on SandKey beach. We love it
I Have Truly Loved Your Videos Of The East Coast From NC To The Florida Keys! It Is My Dream To Maybe One Day Living On The Beachfront Either Home Wise Or Other; Thanks So Much For Sharing :-D NC USA
I have been to Clearwater Beach this year, and it was a wonderful place.
So well done! Great video! ♥️
I remember the old Adams Mark Hotel and Peaches Records and Tapes (further inland in Clearwater). Ah, the good ole days.
Yep I remember the Adams Mark as well
Good morning 😃☀️🌞 & thank u so much 4 sharing. I appreciate it.
Thankyou for the nice words
Great video I'm heading here next month....can't wait!!!
I wish he would have covered Frenchy"s. It is fantastic looking over the Gulf. Clearwater is awesome!
Yea, we actually shot Frenchy's but just couldn't figure out where to fit it in the video and didn't want it to be too long, but yea, we certainly should have included them.
This past weekend was the first time we've ever been to Clearwater Beach. We were visiting from Jacksonville Florida, and we absolutely loved it. I was like a kid again when I found out Hulk Hogan had a store there. I was hoping to see him but sadly I didn't.
It's a beautiful beach, and I really do enjoy it. However, when you compare it to places like Myrtle, Virginia Beach, and Ocean City, MD, there isn't really a lot to do outside of the beach itself. I know there are some people who don't enjoy the tourist beach vibe, but Clearwater already has that but without all the fun touristy things to do that are great for families. Sure, there a a few shops and restaurants. Some boat tours, and a mini golf course, but not much else. Maybe I just got used to having endless things to do going to the previously mentioned beaches and that's why Clearwater was a little disappointing for me. A nice boardwalk amusement park would be awesome. Maybe a few more mini golf courses and some more shops and restaurants. More for families to do. There are plenty of non-built up beaches in the area that they could do a lot more with Clearwater.
I tend to agree with you on that. Personally I like VA Bch & Ocean City better. We will be most likely doing 2 or all 3 of those beaches you mentioned next summer.
@@TampaAerialMedia That would be wonderful! I grew up going to VA Beach and just visited Ocean City for the first time this summer and really loved the vibe!
Love Clearwater Beach!!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖😊
I live in Orlando and I love going to Clearwater beach on weekends! I am
planning to find a condominium right on the beach and live there full time.
Clearwater Beach is Beautiful I love the palm trees and beaches
