Often overshadowed by the more household names of St. Petersburg
and St. Pete Beach, the Clearwater area is the place to head if you’re
serious about spending days on and in the water. Its beach facilities are
top-notch and its marinas are beehives of sail-away activity.
Clearwater itself is principally big-city. Itsmain concession to tourismis a
100-year-old grande dame wooden hotel, the Belleview Biltmore Resort &
Spa (see page 82). On its eastern coast, fronting Tampa Bay, the commu-
nity of Safety Harbor is the county’s birthplace – a quiet spot for boaters,
picnickers, and spa-goers.
Clearwater Beach occupies all of Clearwater Beach Island, as well as part
of neighboring Sand Key.
