Which is Better Clearwater Beach or St Petes Beach?

I will mention Clearwater Beach for many reasons if there is a beach I will always want to visit.

  However, I still love

You will experience 361 beautiful days of sunshine every year on Clearwater.

The story has it that it once had 768 nonstop sunny days, making it a record holder of “consecutive sunny days”.

It is because the water is clear.

  There is steady warm weather at Clearwater.

The temperature of the water is 70 degrees in the winter, and 90 degrees in the summer.

It is easy to come to Clearwater because it is close to St.

Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport, and Tampa International Airport.

Some other reasons tourists are attracted to Clearwater are, that it has a lot of family-friendly waterfront activities.

The beach has fresh kinds of seafood, beautiful beach bars, an exciting year-round events calendar, different graders of hotels that fit any level of budget, and miles and miles of gorgeous beaches.

After my day’s activities whenever I come here, I head to Pier 60 in the evening for sunset celebrations.

The show is free, and you will love to attend.

The sun shines brilliantly, with glorious colors across the sky on Clearwater Beach.

You will see local street performers such as fire-breathers, tightrope-walkers, music dancing jugglers parading in the evening.

St Petes Beach

I can remember when my parents told me I was too young to move to St.

Pete, but I moved over to the city anyways.

I relocated with members of other Gen-Xers and millennials.

Most people are always looking for what they already have.

  Clearwater Beach town is a walking distance of downtown.

It has front-porch neighborhoods, flamboyant old buildings, works of art, parks, and recreation centers, and its beaches are minutes away.

Tourists are still attracted to the sand and surf of St.

Pete Beach, despite the beauties of Clearwater Beach town.
