Clearwater - city in the Tampa Bay area - is a favorite spot for beach lovers and is popular with families looking for a beach vacation. Ranked among the best in the US, there are miles of unspoiled beaches and islands to sun, hike or kayak.

Great fishing and water sports including jet skiing, diving, dolphin spotting and even party cruises on a pirate ship.

Still a spring break calling spot, but many families like Clearwater because it is close to Orlando and has a beach scene that's less edgy than some on the Atlantic side of Florida.

Clearwater Vacation Guide: Hotels, Resorts, Beaches, Attractions, Real Estate Rentals

Clearwater Beach is a popular beach destination for travelers to the Orlando area who are looking to visit the beach for a few days. Located on the Gulf of Mexico, Clearwater is similar to many coastal Florida cities and vacation spots in that there's a mainland city (Clearwater) and a beach community (Clearwater Beach). Although only a narrow bay separates the two, they are dramatically different in what they have to offer.

If you intend to go to Clearwater for your vacation, Clearwater Beach is where you want to end up.

In fact, it's the beach itself that is the number one attraction for Clearwater. It's really wide and is frequented about evenly between families and young adults - many of whom would make you think you were on hard-bodied South Beach.

Most recreational pursuits are aqua-oriented: Jet Ski, Parasail, high-speed offshore motor boating for the thrill seekers, and an equal number of more subdued activities such as a Pirate Ship cruise, mini-golf, nature and shelling tours and the like.

Clearwater Beach has changed considerably over the past five years as a result of the Florida Real Estate boom, and many of the cheap lodging facilities (many still available, though) that attracted many a Spring Breaker have been wiped clean off the map and have been resurrected into luxury condo buildings.

If you are looking for the best place to stay, consider the Marriott and Sheraton - both just to the south over the bridge on Sand Key.
