If you're traveling with kids, a trip to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, home to Dolphin Tale's Winter the Dolphin, as well as Kemp's Ridley sea turtles and river otters, is a must, with parents able to score even more brownie points by using the Jolley Trolley to get there. For those seeking a culture fix, downtown Clearwater's Cleveland Street District, with its unique shopping and dining and walkable urban setting, serves up exactly that. As night falls, the Capitol Theatre, one of Florida's oldest functioning theaters, takes center stage with everything from musicals to comedy acts on the bill.
Many travelers can be seen kicking off their days in Clearwater Beach with a stroll along the Beach Walk, a multimillion-dollar development which counts a broad promenade, public artwork and live entertainment among its highlights. Take lunch at one of the waterfront dining spots or enjoy a picnic on the sugar-sand beach before heading off on a dolphin watching cruise from Clearwater Harbor. Departing daily, these cruises are a blissful way to spend the afternoon. Before heading back to your rental, the nightly craft and entertainment festival at Pier 60 offers the perfect close to the day.
Clearwater Beach offers a range of outdoor activities on land and sea. Vacation rentals put you within reach of activities like boating and fishing in the gulf or waterways, swimming and snorkeling, dolphin watching, surfing, kayaking, and canoeing. You can also hike or bike in the vast natural spaces and wildlife areas, or take in a few rounds of golf on one of the immaculate, sunny courses.
There's little better than spending the summer months enjoying a Gulf Coast getaway. Like the rest of Florida, Clearwater Beach benefits from seemingly endless sunny days and temperatures in the high 80s for much of July, August and September. That said, visitor activities are available for much of the year, so there's never really a bad time to hook yourself up with a Clearwater Beach vacation rental. Cooler water over the winter months may mean that swimming is off the menu, but still warm temperatures and year-round sunshine mean that sunbathing is most definitely not.
For many travelers staying in Clearwater Beach vacation rentals, a trip to Caladesi Island earns a firm spot on their itinerary. Options to get there include a 3-mile walk from Clearwater Beach, a jaunt in a kayak along Dunedin Causeway or a ferry ride from Honeymoon Island State Park. Once you've arrived, expect to find the unspoiled surroundings offering a memorable backdrop for your adventures. Relaxing on the white-sand beach is certainly a popular pastime but those with a little more get up and go will find meandering hiking trails, beachcombing and wildlife watching are all part of the deal.

The Gulf of Mexico is home to delicious seafood, which forms the foundation of Clearwater Beach’s cuisine. Grouper, one of the most popular fish options, is a Clearwater specialty, though a variety of other fish and shellfish find their way into local recipes in restaurants near vacation rentals.
