Of the many
beaches in Clearwater, Florida, three are exceptional.
Caladesi Island State Park
This island beach runs along Florida's Gulf Coast of Florida. It is accessible by boat only. On the boat ride to the park you likely will see dolphins at play and learn on how this island came to be. The beaches amenities include bathhouses, nature trails, a playground, picnicking, showers, restrooms and concession areas. It is also wheelchair accessible.
