Clearwater Beach & Sand Key vacation rentals

Clearwater Beach sits on a barrier island across Clearwater Harbor from downtown, reached by the Memorial Causeway. The sand is fine and pale, the Gulf shelves gently, and Pier 60 marks the middle of the beach. South of the pier, Beach Walk is a winding promenade along the sand lined with places to eat, and the island's north end is quieter, with low-rise homes and condos.

Sand Key is across the Sand Key Bridge to the south, still in Clearwater and the same 33767 ZIP code. It is mostly tall condo buildings along Gulf Boulevard, with Sand Key Park at the north tip looking back across Clearwater Pass. Rentals on either side tend to be condos with pools, many right on the beach, so a Gulf view is easier to find here than almost anywhere else in the county.
