St. Pete Beach – Known as the Sunset Capital of Florida and named the best beach in the nation by Tripadvisor’s 2021 Travelers’ Choice report. If you have a perfect beach in mind, St. Pete Beach may just top that. Used as the backdrop of many vacation photoshoots, you’ll find unbeatable sunsets, warm Gulf waters, miles of white sand and uncrowded space. The signature trademark? The famous, pink Don CeSar hotel, resembling a Mediterranean-style castle towering over the waves.
Clearwater Beach – Directly across from St. Pete Beach, Clearwater Beach is known for its gentle Gulf waters drawing visitors to jet ski, parasail, and paddle board year-round. You’ll want to explore Clearwater’s walkable downtown and grab a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants.

Boutiques, outdoor markets, ice cream shops, beach bars, tennis courts, and eclectic beach homes are all staples of this friendly town. The beach itself is comprised of four miles of powder-soft sand and shimmering waters filled with fish and sand dollars.

Treasure Island Beach – This unique beach is uncommonly wide, giving extra space to spread out and sunbathe. You’ll find a plethora of beach eateries and walk-up bars conveniently perched for premium beach access. Grab a colorful cocktail or bite to eat and stroll back to your spot in the sand. At the southern tip of Treasure Island is a colorful, beach lover’s community named Sunset Beach.
