Clearwater Beach · Florida
An independent guide to open sand, the public promenade and the beach’s sociable center. Choose a setting, then leave a little space in the day.
Choose your setting
Clearwater Beach’s public center and Sand Key’s park setting each deserve their own place in the plan.
Clearwater Beach · Pier 60
The pier structure and its public surroundings make a counterpoint to the open shoreline. Check the city’s current access information before your visit.

Nearby · Sand Key Park
Dune vegetation, park space and beach form a separate nearby setting. Read Sand Key’s own arrival and facility information.

Public space · Beach Walk
Beach Walk lies south of Pier 60. Use the promenade to connect the sand with a nearby table, a pause or a different view.
Keep the address of the place you want to reach beside the idea of the walk.
Plan a promenade intervalA published beach-community story
Frenchy’s own history describes a path from restaurant work to opening the Original Café in 1981, with the aim of a relaxed place for drinks and seafood.
Read the company’s published account for the story, then check the specific venue’s current details when planning a visit.

A meal, a familiar meeting point and an easy return can be enough. Let the current conditions shape the last part of the day.

Read the actual route, meeting point, transport and inclusions. A beach photograph does not tell the whole story of a visit.
Check the named departure point and route. Clearwater Beach, Sand Key, St. Pete Beach and the city of St. Petersburg are distinct places; read the transport and inclusions before choosing.

Sand Key · a dated observation
A structure, a patch of sand and a small bird. This August 2013 photograph records one moment at Sand Key Park, not a promised encounter or current staffing.
