Visit America's Favorite Beaches
Planning your dream getaway to America’s Favorite Beaches starts here!
Welcome to St. Pete-Clearwater, home to America's Best Beaches and so much more. Here, 35 miles of sugar-white sand and emerald Gulf waters meet BEACH. CULTURE.
That means more art per square foot than anywhere else in Florida, with over 500 murals and museums like The Dalí and the Chihuly Collection minutes from the shore. It means 24 destinations in one, from the Greek traditions of Tarpon Springs to the Scottish-inspired waterfront of Dunedin to colorful old-Florida beach towns. It's new energy with an old soul: Gatsby-era pink hotels, retro surf motels and rooftop patios with a view. And it's deliciously local, from fish shack favorites to MICHELIN Guide-recommended dining. Idyllic days. Electric nights.

This Could Be You
Deliciously local, from sunrise to last call.
In St. Pete-Clearwater, food is more than a meal. It's grouper sandwiches eaten in flip-flops at a waterfront fish shack, and Cuban coffee and pastries from a neighborhood bakery before the beach. It's a sunset dinner with the Gulf as your backdrop and an evening at a chef-driven spot recognized by the MICHELIN Guide and James Beard. Whether you're celebrating something special, feeding the whole family or just following your appetite, there's a table waiting. Start with these local favorites and taste your way across the coast.
Beach day, art day, any day.
The sand is only the start. In St. Pete-Clearwater you can spend the morning paddling past manatees, the afternoon at The Dalí Museum or the Chihuly Collection and the evening hunting down a few of the 500-plus murals that color the streets. Hop on a boat, try a parasail, fish the Gulf or bring the kids for a day of family fun. Prefer a slower pace? A good book and a beach chair are always on the menu. Pick a category below and start filling your calendar, or leave a few days open and see where the coast takes you.
