Discover the Magic of Clearwater Beach

Clearwater Beach is widely known for its stunning sugar-white sands and turquoise Gulf waters, making it the perfect destination for a sun-soaked getaway. Whether you are a local looking for a weekend escape or a visitor planning your dream vacation, there is no shortage of things to do in Clearwater Beach. One of the best parts about visiting this beautiful island is that you don't even need a car to enjoy it. The area is incredibly walkable and bikeable, allowing you to easily navigate from your hotel to the beach, local restaurants, and the iconic Pier 60.

Adventure Awaits at Pier 60

When you are ready to trade the sand for the surf, head over to Pier 60 Watersports. Located at 400 Mandalay Ave, right behind the Hilton, we are your go-to spot for high-energy aquatic fun. We are open daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, making it easy to fit an adventure into your schedule. Whether you are looking to glide across the water or feel the rush of the wind, we have the gear you need to make the most of your time in Clearwater.

Thrilling Jet Ski Rentals and More

If you are craving excitement, our jet ski rentals are the perfect way to explore the coastline. There is nothing quite like carving across the sparkling waves of the Gulf of Mexico. For those who prefer a more laid-back pace, we also offer kayak and paddleboard rentals. These are fantastic ways to explore the calm, beginner-friendly waters of the Intracoastal, where you might even spot some local wildlife like dolphins or manatees.

  • Jet Ski Rentals: Experience the ultimate thrill on the water.
  • Paddleboard Rentals: Enjoy a full-body workout while taking in the coastal views.
  • Kayak Rentals: Perfect for a peaceful morning or afternoon exploring the shoreline.
  • Banana Boat Rides: Fun for the whole family!

Tips for Your Clearwater Beach Adventure

To ensure you have the best experience possible, here are a few local tips for your trip:

  • Stay Mobile: Since everything is so close, consider renting a bike to get around the island. It is a fun and efficient way to reach attractions like the Clearwater Marine Aquarium or local dining spots.
  • Plan Your Day: While you can certainly walk, remember to pack light with comfortable sandals or walking shoes to keep your day stress-free.
  • Safety First: If you are planning to rent a jet ski, remember that Florida law requires anyone born on or after January 1, 1988, to have a boating safety ID. If you don't have one, don't worry—we can guide you through the process of completing a quick temporary rental exam online.
