Clearwater Beach is my favorite, but it is quite busy and commercial.

If you're looking for something a bit more laid back and more like an old time beach area, you might try Madeira Beach a few miles south of Clearwater.
There's an ice cream store that sells penny candy like the kind we grew up with. A short distance away is John's Pass Boardwalk which has a lot of cool stores and exhibits.

The beach itself is very nice though not quite as nice as Clearwater. Clearwater has been selected as the best beach in the country.
