St. Petersburg/Clearwater -
Florida's Beach is proud to feature 3 of the top beaches
in the entire USA!
True to a beach that has been
ranked number one in the continental United States, Fort
De Soto Park offers 900 unspoiled acres and seven miles
of beaches. A unique area made up of five islands, the
park features a fort built during the Spanish-American
War on the largest of the islands, Mullet Key. Two
fishing piers, camping areas, a concession stand,
bathroom facilities and covered picnic shelters are
available. Fort De Soto Park also offers a popular
biking and skating trail as well as rental facilities
for canoes, kayaks and bicycles. There is an 85 cents
toll on the bridges leading into the park.
Home to a beach that has been
ranked forth best in the entire U.S., Caladesi Island is
ideal for swimming, shelling, fishing, picnics,
snorkeling, scuba diving and nature study. This state
park features a three-mile nature trail winding through
the island's interior, a snack bar, shelters and docks
for private boats. The park opens daily from 8 a.m. to
sunset. A ferry departs hourly from nearby Honeymoon
Island.
Offering just about every water
and beach activity imaginable, Clearwater Beach has been
named the top city beach in the Gulf region. Pier 60
Park features a family recreation complex on
Clearwater's expansive beach with covered playgrounds,
fishing and concessions. The Sunsets at Pier 60 festival
features music, entertainment and a beautiful Gulf of
Mexico sunset throughout the year. |
