Vacation
in paradise at Clearwater/St. Pete
 All-clearwater-stpete.com
brings you the best of the Clearwater/St.
Petersburg area with destination information and great rates
on
hotels/resorts,
condos and extended-stay accommodations and
rental cars.
Be
sure to come to this vacationer's paradise. Wiggle sugary sand
between your toes . . . let a breeze propel you through the water
on a sailboard or catamaran or reel in the catch of a lifetime.
In addition to some of the most beautiful, broad beaches on the
Florida Gulf Coast, you'll find all the water-oriented
recreation you can imagine and lots of outdoor activities in the
area. Besides jet skis, water bikes and parasails, you can rent
boats for everything from a relaxing sail to a deep sea fishing
adventure. More than 300 species of fish populate the waters,
making the area one of Florida's premier fishing locales.
The area is gaining national and
international recognition as a leader in eco-tourism and
environmental management. Diverse ecosystems can be found in
local parks, providing ample opportunities for hiking, biking,
birding and other nature-based activities. Pinellas County
Recreational Trail, a wonderful place for walkers, bikers,
joggers and skaters, stretches 47 beautiful miles from
St. Petersburg to Tarpon Springs.
At the Marine Aquarium you can enjoy seeing
dolphins, otters and sea turtles and learn ways to help protect
them. There are golf courses aplenty and shopping opportunities
so numerous that you will be tempted to take home more than you
can carry! The Bay Area Outlet Mall is the only shopping area of
its kind in Pinellas County. At Countryside Mall, you can also
enjoy the indoor ice skating center in the center of the mall.
Boatyard Village, a re-created 1890s-period fishing village on
Tampa Bay, offers a unique setting for shopping and dining. At
mealtimes you will discover great variety in the cuisine. Try a
Gulf-fresh grouper sandwich at a quaint outdoor café or fine
dining accompanied by a breathtaking waterfront view. In the
evening, visit one of the area's hottest nightclubs to dance and
enjoy your favorite music.
Take in an outdoor concert or local
festival in downtown or see theater and orchestra performances
at Ruth Eckerd Hall. The brand-new Harborview Center is ideal
for conventions large and small. The Jazz Holiday, held in
October each year, is one of Florida's premier jazz festivals.
An added bonus is the area's proximity to
many other Florida attractions. Just a few minutes away are the
wonderful museums of
St. Petersburg,
professional sporting events and
Tampa's
Busch Gardens
theme park.
Orlando's attractions are about an hour's
drive east.
