St. Pete/Clearwater is where you want to be! Close to everything, yet miles away. A beautiful peninsula located on Florida's West coast, the area is bordered by the Gulf of Mexico to the west and by Tampa Bay to the east.

Home to America's Award Winning Beaches. Made official by TripAdvisor's 2009 list of the top ten beaches in the U.S., Fort De Soto Park took top honors for the second consecutive year, while Honeymoon Island State Park ranked ninth. Also taking top honors, Caladesi Beach was named America's No. 1 beach in 2008. We offer 35 miles of white-sand beaches on some eight major barrier islands. We're within minutes of many popular Florida attractions: just 30 minutes to Busch Gardens in Tampa and 90 minutes to Walt Disney World Resort, Sea World and Universal Studios Escape in Orlando.
 


Come personally experience our warm Gulf sunsets, our unique cultural heritage, our vast sporting and recreational activities, fresh seafood and great shopping. There are world-renowned museums, family fun and endless sunshine. We're everything you want from your vacation, all right here!
