CLEARWATER NATURALLY
From brown pelican to bald eagles . . . Clearwater’s natural beauty is breathtaking.
Take the opportunity to look up,
down and on the ground to see
wildlife aplenty.
Pinellas County has 15 sites officially designated
as portions of the Great Florida Birding Trail.
Over 2,000 miles long and including over 480
species, the Trail was formed to promote bird
watching, environmental education and
eco tourism.
Sand Key Park houses the base of operations
for the artificial reef program. On the beach sea
turtles annually deposit eggs while the CMA

dog park, but not on the beach.
Unspoiled Brooker Creek Preserve is home to
more than 160 bird species, 20 amphibians, 50
reptiles and 40 mammals. Its Environmental
Education Center is a treasure trove of
information. Explore nature trails, a nine-mile
wilderness trail and a horseback trail.
Caladesi Island State Park was named the #1
Beach in America. Activities include swimming,
fishing and kayaking through the three-mile
mangrove shaded trail or hike the nature trails,
picnic or eat at Café Caladesi. Ferry service to the
island departs from Honeymoon Island State
Park. Boat dockage is available during the day as
well as “boat camping” overnight.
Honeymoon Island State Park is known for
pristine beaches, scenic coastlines, diverse
plant and animal life. Spend time on the trails,
viewing platforms or the nature center. Choose
from playgrounds, a dog beach, swimming,
fishing, canoeing, surfing, bird watching, hiking
and lunching at the picnic pavilions or the
outdoor café.

Close by, the following parks and
preserves appeal to many.

three miles of trails and boardwalks representing
various ecosystems within 245 acres of natural
beauty and is on the Great Florida Birding Trail.

100 years old, and is Florida’s oldest “living
museum.” Nestled in four acres of exotic flora
from around the world, there are 50,000

preserve with rescued and rehabilitated birds.
It features reptile, mammal, amphibian, insect
and fish displays; plant and energy exhibits;
and nature trails.
The Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary is home to
more than 600 healthy and recuperating birds.
A breeding program for permanently disabled
birds works towards releasing their offspring
back into nature and treats over 10,000 injured
birds annually. It is the largest nonprofit wild
bird hospital in the country.
Nowhere else but at Big Cat Rescue can one
be face to face with more than 130 huge felines
and 20 plus species of exotic and endangered
cats. Some of the more unusual ones include
snow leopards, geoffroy cats, siberian lynx
and servals.

A RICH &
VARIED HISTORY
The city’s name originated from the clear
springs that were located along the high
bluffs upon which the downtown area is
now situated. Early settlers called it Clear
Water Harbor, a name that eventually
became Clearwater.
Thousands of American Indians once lived
along the bodies of water now known as
Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Several
areas feature mounds dating from 500 B.C.
to 1500 A.D. One of the best examples can
be found at the Weedon Island Preserve in
northeast St. Petersburg.

GETTING AROUND
BY AIR & LAND
Two highly rated international airports
serve the greater Clearwater area. Both
St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport
(PIE) and Tampa International Airport (TIA)
have a reputation as traveler-friendly airports.
Shuttles and rental cars are available when you
land. Within a 90 minute drive from Clearwater
is Orlando International Airport.
The Amtrak Station in downtown Tampa
brings rail travelers in closest proximity to
the Clearwater region. Greyhound operates
a terminal in Clearwater.
Once on land there are car rental agencies,
taxis, private limousines and vans and
charter buses that will assist you in reaching
your destination.
Dial 511 (a free call) 24 hours a day, to get
detailed information on traffic conditions on
the interstates and major roads throughout
Tampa Bay.
• It’s legal to turn right on red unless a
sign indicates otherwise.
• Please buckle up. It’s the law and it’s
the safe thing to do.
Many areas have parking meters and they
are strictly enforced. Please do not back into
parking spaces. The rear license plate must
be visible.
Clearwater’s public transportation system,
the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA)
is a convenient way to get around. Buses run
frequently, fares are extremely reasonable
and the routes cover all major shopping and
beach areas.
Although everything is within easy walking
distance, it is fun to ride the Jolley Trolley with
the friendly drivers pointing out interesting
sights. The beach route operates 7 days a week
every 30 minutes starting at 10am. The coastal
route includes downtown Clearwater, Dunedin,
Palm Harbor and Tarpon Springs and operates
Friday-Sunday every hour. Jolley Trolley and
PSTA bus passes are interchangeable.
SuperShuttle provides an easy van ride
getting to and from St. Petersburg-Clearwater
and Tampa International Airports. Florida Free
Rides is a free service around Clearwater Beach

if driving in the rain.

Clearwater has hundreds of restaurants offering
a fascinating variety of tantalizing choices in
diverse surroundings. Fine dining to kid friendly,
ethnic to vegetarian, outdoor on the beach
to elegantly lit interiors, and freshly caught
seafood is a specialty at many restaurants.
Family owned and operated as well as nationally
known restaurants are plentiful. A few local
breweries and wineries offer your favorites.
Every evening begins with a sunset
celebration. The Sunsets at Pier 60 Festival
features music, street performers and artisans
selling handmade crafts. And if you want to
catch a free movie, check out Pier 60’s Sunset
Cinema, with movies shown every Saturday
and Sunday.
The area’s nightclub experience is ever
expanding. Coachman Park, on the Intracoastal
Waterway, is often the site of big name musical
entertainment for all tastes.
56
To “tickle your funny bone” there are comedy
clubs featuring local talent and nationally
known comedians. Clearwater thrives on jazz
and one can enjoy the beat in a number of
area jazz clubs.
Clearwater Beach Restaurant Week, each May,
is a celebration of the local food scene. More
than 20 restaurants, from fine dining to casual
cuisine, entice you to eat your way through the
week. The Taste of Clearwater, each September,
is a wonderful way to sample cuisine from over
40 local eateries. Cooters hosts an Annual
Crab fest every October to celebrate Stone
Crab Season. Frenchy’s Stone Crab Festival,
celebrating this lesser-known cousin of the
Maine lobster and the Maryland blue crab, is
also held in October at all four locations.
Clearwater Beach Uncorked Wine & Food
Experience, is a tasteful event for all
foodies and wine connoisseurs. Don’t
miss the annual John’s Pass Seafood
Festival, which originated in memory of
fishermen lost at sea.

Midwest and northern states directly to the
Tampa Bay area.
Gratuity, or tipping, is a way of life in the

hairdressers and spa attendants. It is not
necessary to tip sales clerks in stores or fast
food employees.
Interstate 95 (I-95) enters the northeast end of
the state and connects to I-75 via I-10, an eastwest route that enters the Florida panhandle
from Alabama. I-75 becomes I-275 north of the
Tampa Bay area.

International Airport exit and then go west
on State Road 60 onto scenic Courtney
Campbell Causeway (also known as SR 60),
which terminates on Clearwater Beach.
From Orlando, take I-4 west. Then follow the
