Clearwater Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals

Clearwater is located just west of Tampa between Homosassa Springs and St. Petersburg. Regularly ranked as “Best City Beach,” Clearwater is known for its mild climate, sparkling white beach, silky sands, safe environment, and reasonably priced family attractions and lodging. With one million visitors coming here each year, you’ll have lots of company, but there are quieter areas, as well, geared towards children. Clearwater Beach, also known as “Pier 60” has beach volleyball, water-sports rentals, lifeguards, rest rooms, showers and concessions. The swimming is excellent and there is a playground and fishing pier with bait and tackle shop located at the pier. You can indulge in parasailing, deep-sea fishing, wave running, water-skiing, beachcombing, golf or just about any other outdoor activity your heart desires. If you’re seeking a less crowded spot on Clearwater Beach, try the gulf end of Bay Esplanade where you’ll find two lively beach bars. Clearwater’s Marine Aquarium is well worth a visit. Visitors can tour an underwater viewing area of native sharks, fish and hands-on-exhibits such as “Stingray Beach.” The aquarium is also home to “Sunset Sam,” a dolphin known worldwide for his painting. Clearwater is host to several special events, such as the “Clearwater Jazz Holiday,” and spring “Fun ‘N Sun Festival.” Also, Clearwater’s pier holds the nightly “Sunset at Pier 60,” a street festival celebrating the setting of the sun.

Clearwater Weather & Climate

Temperate and mild, the central West Coast of Florida in the Clearwater/St. Petersburg/Tampa Bay area enjoys a semi tropical climate with warm Gulf breezes and plenty of sunshine. Frequent thunderstorms, short in duration, dominate the summertime weather patterns, where humidity usually hovers near the 100 percent mark. Even with these frequent summer storms, however, this area of the state enjoys the most days of sunshine per year - with an average of 361. June through September are the wettest months, with the rest of the year being pretty dry by comparison. The most pleasant weather is found during the winter months between November and March when the humidity becomes more bearable and winds from the Bay and Gulf keep temperatures moderate.
