Uncover the Best Things to do in Tampa, Florida

14 Stroll down Clearwater Beach

While there are a lot of beaches in the Tampa area, Clearwater Beach is one that you just can't miss. The smooth white sand and clear shallow water make it the perfect place to swim in the Gulf or sit in the sand and soak up the sun. If you're ready for some shade, head to Pier 60 and admire the long sandy beach through the telescopes on the wharf. Stick around for the daily Sunsets at Pier 60 Festival to check out local artisans, street performers, and, of course, breathtaking sunsets.
