Many people on this site seem to head over to the East Coast, but we rented just down from Clearwater for ten years, and I think their beaches are incredible. From Clearwater to St. Petes there are loads of little "villages" on the gulf coast, all with shops and plenty to do and you can access the beach all the way along through public walk ways. Head south down 75 to Clearwater and then get onto Gulf Boulevard and follow that through to St. Petes and even further down the coast - I think it's 39 miles of white sandy beaches. When you get into this area below Clearwater, Gulf Blvd separates the intracoastal from the gulf, in many areas water on both sides of the road. We were on the intracoastal which was spectacular. Great when we were young and wanted to play on the beach all day.
