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. Caladesi Beach, America's #2 beach in 2006 and 2007. Also home to Fort De Soto Park, America's #1 beach in 2005 and 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!

Summer and fall are popular times to visit the beach. Please view our summer safety tips to help make your stay more enjoyable. We look forward to seeing you!
