Clearwater Beach
One of two major barrier islands of Clearwater, part of Tampa Bay metro area.
The narrow strip is highly developed like Disney. Saturated with hotels, many of them are 10+ story high; restaurants; shops; pirate boat rides, etc.
When we drove to Sand Key Park at 7am, the strip is quiet. But after done our 1.2 miles open water swim and award ceremony, at 11, it came alive, maneuvering out was a chord. We missed our turn to Sandbar on the beach, we decided to leave Clearwater Beach, and have our lunch at Hibachi, in Clearwater.
