Looking for a dream Florida holiday? You’ve come to the right place. Clearwater… even the name conjures up images of the perfect beach doesn’t it? This upmarket pocket of the Sunshine State is under two hours drive away from the bright lights of Orlando and the trills and spills of Disneyworld yet it could not be more different.
In contrast to its livelier neighbour, Clearwater on Florida’s west coast is a peaceful and relaxing haven for sun-worshippers and beach fanatics.
With fabulous weather all year round it’s an ideal getaway for young and old alike.
If you want to really chill out and enjoy the best of the Floridian weather, Clearwater should be your next port of call.
There’s a laid-back air of the tropics about the place yet it operates on American efficiency in its luxury hotels and resorts, all set against a picturesque backdrop of clear blue skies, magnificent beaches and sparkling waters.
If you love a good sunset then this is the spot to get the camera out too and you’ll make your friends green with envy with your holiday snaps.
By early evening, everyone gathers on Pier 60 to watch the dazzling display of colours in the sky as the sun goes down on another perfect day.
Rich pinks and purples blend with fiery orange, casting the most amazing light across the beach.
Sunset on Pier 60 is almost a ritual and a must for anyone who visits these shores.
As well as lazing around on the sugar white sands of Clearwater’s magnificent beaches, there’s also plenty of fun to be had if you’re looking for a change of pace.
Here’s some of the top things to do:
Jet Ski
Hire a jet ski from the boardwalk rentals and zoom over the crystal clear waters, leaving all your worries behind.
Busch Gardens
If you need some thrills and excitement with all the fun of the fair then head for Busch Gardens, a world class theme park in nearby Tampa.
Parasailing
If you’re feeling really adventurous, why not soar into the sky and let the sea breeze work its magic as a parasail winch boat lifts you hundreds of feet into the air .
