Beach Days & Concert Nights

Make your next concert a coastal escape! Wake up on award-winning beaches, then head to Tampa for your favorite artists. Short drive there, surf and stars back here.

• St. Pete-Clearwater is just across the bridge from Tampa and a short drive from many of Tampa Bay's best concert venues. 
• Build your pre-concert energy with a nightly sunset celebration at Sunsets at Pier 60.
• Pack more fun into your concert weekend when you take a sunset cruise or a floating tiki tour to see wild dolphins and nature's big show. 
• Enjoy room to relax, from boutique waterfront stays to family‑friendly resorts with expansive pools. 
• Listen to live music on a rooftop bar or at a waterfront restaurant. 

Choose your perfect home base:

• Clearwater Beach: This beach is at the top of nearly everyone's favorite list for a reason – epic hotel resorts, soft white sand and calm coastal waters. It was recently named the #1 beach in Florida by Tripadvisor and among the best in the world!
• Madeira Beach: This is the perfect Florida beach town, with John's Pass Village & Boardwalk, a rustic landmark you won't want to miss. Choose from fishing charters, waverunner rentals and sunset cruises.
• St. Pete Beach: Urban, but also quaint, St. Pete Beach is famous for its beach bars and classic beach resorts. Be sure to visit Pass-a-Grille Beach, a local favorite.
