Clearwater, Florida
Gulf Coast beach town where white sand meets surprisingly sophisticated dining and laid-back Florida charm.
Clearwater moves at the pace of beach walks and sunset cocktails, where the daily rhythm revolves around tides and afternoon thunderstorms. The downtown core mixes waterfront high-rises with old Florida architecture, while the barrier island stretches out in powdery sand that squeaks underfoot. It's a place where fishing boats share harbors with pleasure craft, and casual seafood joints sit alongside polished rooftop bars.
