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.
