St. Pete / Clearwater Beach, Florida:

photos and tips -- See also Introduction to St. Pete / Clearwater Beach

Water, water, is everywhere, in the St. Pete/Clearwater area, a complicated topography of inlets, keys, Tampa Bay, Gulf of Mexico-- all adding up to 35 miles of shoreline. Above is a view from the Clearwater Marine Aquarium: you can take excursions on these boats.

Out on the water, you'll have plenty of company: small craft are everywhere. Part of the fun is passing under this drawbridge at just the right time, when it raises up.
