The sandy white beaches in Clearwater feature crystal clear emerald green Gulf oceanwaters.
Did you know the ocean’s clarity actually goes down 70 feet?
Seeing the area from a helicopter would really give you a one-of-a-kind perspective of Clearwater’s beauty.
The name of the city was given by the original native settlers in their language as “Pocotopaug”, which literally means “clear water.”
The Native Indian settlers chose this name not because of the clear Gulf, but because of the numerous freshwater springs along the coast.
It wasn’t until the 1830’s that colonial settlers made the area their home. 60 years after settlement, the area was recognized as a resort community.
Today Clearwater is filled with fun-loving visitors and laidback locals! The community is friendly, open and very social.
Chatting with locals will definitely lead you to some hidden treasures of Clearwater like the best fishing spots and the best mom and pop restaurants.
You’ll also find where the best seafood is served up, which is actually anywhere in the Clearwater area. 😉
