Sand Key Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals

Sand Key is a barrier island located just south of Clearwater Beach and north of Belleair Beach along the central West Coast of Florida. The northern tip of the beach is home to Sand Key Park, which is well know for shelling on its beautiful, white sandy beaches and for fishing on the jetty. Sand Key bills itself as “14 Miles of Heaven,” where you can play on the beach or watch a stunning sunset, or picnic under the Florida pine trees that line the beach. Sand Key Park was opened in 1984 and is situated on 95 pristine acres between the Gulf and the Florida mainland. Clearwater Pass, leading from the Gulf to the Intracoastal Waterway, separates the park from the popular resort area of Clearwater Beach. The park has two distinct areas – the beach and the park. In the “park” are picnic shelters with grills, a children’s playground, fountains, a dog park and restrooms. The beach has bathhouses and showers, restrooms, lifeguards year round, beach wheelchairs and cabana rentals. All types of water sports are available, swimming, water skiing, shelling, diving, sailing and sunbathing. For those who prefer their excitement on land, Sand Key is near museums, shopping, world-class restaurants, golf courses, tennis courts and bike trails.

Sand Key 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.
