St. Pete-Clearwater area beaches are some of the most beautiful in Florida. The waters of the beautiful Gulf of Mexico and white-sand are award winning combinations — from Caladesi Island, America's No. 1 beach, and its neighboring Honeymoon Island southward to Clearwater Beach and Egmont Key. Not only are the beaches beautiful, but there is so much to do and see that this area is also popular with the spring break crowd.

It's just 30 minutes to Tampa's Busch Gardens or The Florida Aquarium and 90 minutes to Orlando's trio of attractions — Disney World, Universal Orlando and SeaWorld Orlando.

If you're needing a more detailed look at the beaches, follow the map and picture tour.
