Clearwater
Clearwater is such a fun spot. Scenic views of the pier & white sand make it one of my favorites!
Clearwater Beach
I grew up going to Indian rocks so it’ll always be special to me. It’s a great little beach town area! Plenty of waterside air bnbs nearby
Indian Rocks Beach
Sand key is more laid back but just as gorgeous as Clearwater beach!
Sand Key Beach
Indian shores is very similar to Indian rocks (hence the names) still just as nice as IRB.
Indian Shores Beach
Dunedin is north of Clearwater & a more of a hidden secret. Such a nice town! & the beach compliments it.
Sarasota boasts some of the most pristine white sand you will ever see. Siesta Key Beach has named best beach in the United States multiple years & you will see why. Lido Beach is fantastic too, just off of St. Armand’s Circle. Every beach in thi...
If you’re from out of town, this is a must see. It’s got unmatched beautiful white quartz sand that glimmers in the sun. Spacious & has lots of amenities
Siesta Beach
My personal favorite.. 10/10 hands down. Best beach in America.
Lido Beach
Longboat Key is a drive if you’re staying on the mainland, but well worth it!
Longboat Key Beach
Bright white sand that feels like baby powder beneath your toes. Clear blue water. What more can you ask for? Less touristy than Siesta Beach.
Overall: 4/5
Crescent Beach
Another beach on siesta key is a more laid-back, family friendly beach. Hardly a walk from your car to the sand which is awesome! Sand isn’t the beautiful white quartz like siesta & crescent beaches, but still a great beach.
4.2/5
Turtle Beach
Venice
Shark tooth capital of the world! Sifting for shark teeth that are millions of years old is one of my favorite hobbies. If that’s something that interests you, look no further than Venice, FL.
Venice Beach is so cool. I’m a big shark tooth hunter so I always find myself going to the Venice/Englewood area. Shark teeth. Sharky’s restaurant. Nuff said.
Venice Beach
Known as the “shark tooth capital of the world” casprersen is a great spot to hang out away from the hustle & bustle & find yourself some ancient megs.
