Clearwater Beach enchants visitors with its immaculate beaches and welcoming ocean. In 2018, Trip Advisor rated it as the best beach in the United States. Caladesi Island, located off the north end of the beach, was named the best by Dr. Beach in 2008. Aside from the beaches, Clearwater Beach has an appealing small-town vibe.
