SAND KEY-CLEARWATER BEACH FLORIDA
CONDO GUIDE

 

Sand Key, just south of Clearwater Beach, Florida, is known for its gorgeous beachfront park and spectacular high rise condos. The key to the popularity of the park is the jetty extending into the Gulf of Mexico, creating ideal conditions for swimming and fishing. Sand Key Park, a county-owned, 95- acre park offers wide sandy beaches, nine boardwalks, a playground, showering facilities, restrooms, fishing, picnic areas, biking, jogging, roller  trails. Year after year, it has been ranked in the Top 20 Beaches of the United States. Sand Key is actually a two-mile long isthmus. The majority of residences on Sand Key are high rise condos, yet there are some town homes and single family homes on the Intracoastal side. With all of its tall condominiums, Sand Key has an impressive gulf front, big city look.

Nestled between Clearwater Harbor's remarkable sunrises and the Gulf of Mexico's breathtaking sunsets, Sand Key is a unique tropical island and one of our favorite places!

Clearwater Beach, Florida is one of the best beaches that I have ever seen. I recently returned again because it is so pleasant with ample parking. Unlike some other beaches they have terrific public restrooms:

The parking lots are in close proximity to Clearwater Beach Florida. For parking I highly suggest that if you plan to visit Clearwater Beach Florida to arrive before 10 a.m.

Typically parking seems to fill up quickly after that. For example I visited Sarasota's Siesta Key and wow... parking was not as good. It was challenging.

Along Clearwater Beach Florida they have installed new showers with turtles.

Can you see the honu (i.e. the turtle)???

As you can see it is very family friendly :)

A hui hou (until next time)

Clearwater Beach will finally get a long awaited parking garage. The City Council voted unanimously on a 300 space 4 level garage with ground floor retail space on Beach Walk. Vehicles will enter and exit the garage from Coronado Drive.

The site is currently the home of Britt's Laguna Grill, a popular restaurant on the Beachwalk promenade. A new Britt's will be located on the ground floor. Surf Style Retail Management, who owns the site will pay to build the garage itself, with no city tax dollars.

It has not yet beeen determined what the city will charge for parking, but it will likely be similar the agreement the city has with the Hyatt, which will have 400 parking places for the public in its 750-space garage - rates must be "comparable" to the garages of other beachfront resorts.

The Beachwalk project, which was completed last year, eliminated hundreds of waterfront parking spaces on S. Gulfview Blvd, and the city has been scrambling ever since to come up with replacements. The city is currently leasing 2 vacant lots for parking.

The project is expected to to be complete by next fall.

I was born and raised in Hawai'i and I love the ocean so of course I love going to Clearwater Beach often. I also love using my camera to capture glimpses of life.

I use a simple point-and-shoot camera: A 8.1 mp green Casio Exilim.

This time I purposefully posted larger pictures so that I can try to show the vibrant colors. The Tampa Bay Florida area is equally vibrant with life.

Here are some recent pictures of Clearwater Beach:

1. The entrance into the Clearwater Beach area looks like this:
