America's Favorite Beaches

Welcome to warm sunshine, cool breezes and soft sands. With 35 miles of sugar-sand bliss to choose from, you're sure to find the perfect beach for you right here in Tampa Bay. With so many award-winning beaches to choose from, planning the perfect beach vacation is easy!


Looking for your best beach vacation yet? You’ve come to the right place, since these Tampa Bay beaches are perennially on "top beach" lists from beach experts and well-respected websites and travel magazines alike.

Legendary Clearwater Beach was recently named to Travel + Leisure's list of the best white sand beaches in the world! It was also named "Best Beach in the South" by USA Today, and was lauded as Tripadvisor’s #1 Beach in the U.S. in 2019, 2018 and 2016! With sugar sands and emerald-green waters, as well as popular beachfront restaurants and a nightly sunset celebration at Pier 60, this is a can’t-miss spot, full of energy, color and excitement.

Gorgeous St. Pete Beach was named the #1 Beach in the U.S. for 2021 by Tripadvisor’s community of travelers. No wonder: Its soft, white sands, warm Gulf of Mexico waters and friendly, laid-back vibe are loved by locals and visitors alike.

See which beaches are open now, as our area undergoes a beach recovery and re-beautification process after two recent storms.

Be sure to also check out check out family-friendly Madeira Beach, Tripadvisor's #9 beach in the U.S. in 2021. In fact, you'll find beautiful beaches to explore all along our sparkling Gulf Coast, including lovely Treasure Island, charming Honeymoon Island, quiet Pass-a-Grille Beach and stunning Fort De Soto Park.

If you're looking for serene island vibes, Caladesi Island and Egmont Key (both accessible only from the water) are perfect choices.
 
While you're visiting our beaches, a gentle reminder to be courteous, kind and a responsible traveler. Beach on!
