Clearwater Beach
Drop anchor off Clearwater Beach, consistently rated one of the best beaches in the US — Trip Advisor gave it the #1 spot in 2018. You'll find sugar-white sand, warm Gulf of Mexico waters, and those legendary fiery Gulf sunsets drawing crowds for good reason. The whole area has an easy, buzzy energy that makes it worth a stop, with Caladesi Island just to the north if you want to explore further.
