Things to do in Madeira Beach

No. 17 of Best Things to Do in Florida

Clearwater Beach

Clearwater Beach is located on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. The stretch of white sand beach is made of fine, soft white quartz sand, which feels soft and clean under bare feet and doesn't get hot even in the heat; the bay has warm water and gentle waves, and the near-shore waters are shallow and calm, making it safe for children to play in the water, which is why it is a popular family-friendly destination. Pier 60, which extends into the sea, is a landmark of this beach. You can walk on the pier, watch people fishing, and sometimes even spot dolphins leaping out of the water. Around sunset every day, street performers and craft stalls gather near the pier, and people wait to watch the sun slowly sink into the Gulf of Mexico, painting the sea in shades of orange and gold. This long-standing sunset gathering is a signature scene here. During the day, you can also take a dolphin-watching boat tour, or try activities like paddleboarding, kayaking, and jet skiing.
