Transit

Since beach parking is expensive, many visitors opt to leave their cars at home and walk around Clearwater Beach. The town itself is walkable, but if you’d like to see the nearby towns of Dunedin, Tarpon Springs, Palm Harbor, or Downtown Clearwater just jump aboard the Jolly Trolley.

Climate 

Clearwater Beach boasts warm temps (for most of the year) and balmy breezes. The humidity hangs around 90 percent in the summer, with air temps around 92, but gulf breezes keep it feeling cooler than inland Florida. Afternoon showers are common during the summer, and they’re very localized. Floridians joke that sometimes it rains in their front yards and not in their backs. Hurricane season lasts from June 1 to November 30^th, with most of the activity in this area occurring in late August and September. This is also one of the cheapest times for finding Clearwater Beach vacation rentals.

Events

The biggest event in Clearwater Beach is a nightly one – the setting of the sun. It’s best experienced from Pier 60, where not only do a number of people join to watch it, similar to Mallory Square in Key West, but street performers, musicians, and artists add to the beauty of the evening. The experience is free, but bring your wallet anyway because you’ll undoubtedly find some treasure you’ll want to bring home. Clearwater Beach is also home to the Super Boat National Championship in September and the Chalk Art Festival in October. Nearby Clearwater is host to the Phillies Spring Training.

Clearwater Beach vacation rentals provide the ideal vacation spot for families or for people who just want to enjoy the beach and the beautiful water. With a boat tour for any interest, exploring the Gulf of Mexico is a fun option as is watching the golden sun sink into its warm pink, orange, and blue waters.
