Clearwater Holidays

From massive theme parks to endless stretches of sandy beach, holidays to Clearwater give you plenty of action-packed adventure.

Theme park adventures

When it comes to legendary Florida must-sees, Universal Orlando Resort and Walt Disney World Resort tie for first place – plus they're both around a 90-minute drive from the centre of Clearwater. From rollercoasters to tours of the Magic Kingdom, you'll want more than one day to squeeze everything in.

Beach hopping

Holidays to Clearwater are all about palm-tree-lined beach spots. Head north to Tarpon Springs to munch on Greek food while tanning. Treasure Island's a 30-minute ride south from Clearwater, boasting miles of bucket-and-spade-worthy sands and tasty barbecue grills.

Vibrant nightlife

Let your hair down at Pier 60. From street jugglers to live bands, the action revs up all along this coastal stretch. Clearwater stays bustling after the sun goes down and is the place to hit for late-night shopping – or for your post-bar fix of burgers, waffles and boozy milkshakes.

Park paradise

If you want to burn off last night's steak and chips, we recommend a stroll around the local nature parks. Moccasin Lake Nature Park's got heaps of wildlife and greenery, while Hammock Park's ideal for a biking tour.

The golden coast

This little Florida nugget's famed for its wash of soft sands and shimmering waters – a sunbather's haven. The Guinness Book of World Records even clocked up the longest-running number of blue-sky days in this 'hood, so if you're all about the beach, you'll be nicely set up here.
The big beach

Clearwater beach's well worth rolling out of bed early for – you'll want to beat the crowds to the best sunlounger. You'll find thrilling watersports like parasailing along the shore, while younger visitors can bop around the bouncy castle at Pier 60.
The secret beach

When kicking back and chilling out is the order of the day, pitch up on Caladesi Island. Slightly off the beaten track, it's much more laidback compared to Clearwater. Trek around the nature trails and you might be able to snap pics of the resident turtles and armadillos.

Bargain Buys

Sprouts Farmer's Market attracts quite the crowd after its vegan goodies, homemade hot sauces and organic produce. Pinky's near Indian Rocks beach is a 20-minute drive from Clearwater, where you can stock up on American candy and get a scoop of the best ice-cream around.
Mid-Range Buys

If your getaway revolves around hitting the waves, you can pick up well-made watersports gear at Ron Jon Surf Shop. Wander in and out of the other stores around to pick up unique hand-made treasures for your bookcase back home.
Designer Buys

Westfield Countryside Mall's where you'll spend the most dosh, with plenty of premium labels like Pandora and Victoria's Secret. After your spree, you can catch a movie, have an ice-skate and chow down on some tasty tacos.

Laid-back evenings

For a relaxed evening, head to the Pier 60 docks for a cheeky cocktail or two while the sun goes down. The local breweries are a big hit with visitors, too. Walk along the strip to choose a bar with your entertainment of choice – there's often live music and acts by local magicians.
Lively evenings

Whether you're down for hula or want to bust out your break-dancing moves, Clearwater's got plenty of world-class party venues. The Sports Shack is where you can catch an American football game and a slice of pizza before rocking the dancefloor at Amoroma night club.

Hearty grills at Frenchy's

A visit to Frenchy's Original Café is a definite must on your Clearwater list. From chicken wings drenched in homemade habanero sauce to peppered cheesesteaks, this joint's about as all-American as you can get. Finish off with key lime pie to make the visit even sweeter.
Brekkie at Lenny's

With some of the most scrumptious bacon, sunny-side eggs and syrupy pancakes in town, Lenny's rustles up a seriously good brunch. Try the legendary 'The Lenny' burger to get your patty smothered in melted cheese, fried onions and a dollop of mayo.
Wings from a buffalo

When in the US of A, it's basically a rite of passage to eat buffalo chicken wings. The original Hooters serves up a mean basket of the crispy, saucy goodies – dunk 'em in blue cheese to do as Americans do.
Pizza at Gondoliers

Gondoliers racks up points for being one of the best pizza places in Clearwater. The calzone's a firm favourite, and you can't go wrong with a classic pepperoni pie. The portions are super generous so they're great for sharing – or not.
Steak at Bascom's

Bascom's Chop House will lure you in with the aromas alone. Whether you're a rib-eye or rump lover, the grass-fed meat's sizzled to perfection. Grab some fried calamari before the main event.
