Why Clearwater Beach is Your Year-Round Adventure Hub

Experience the Best of Clearwater Beach Year-Round

Welcome to the sugar-white sands and emerald waters of the Gulf Coast! If you are planning a trip to Florida, you likely already know that Clearwater Beach is consistently ranked as one of the top beaches in the nation. But what makes this destination truly special is that the fun never has to stop. At Pier 60 Watersports, located at 400 Mandalay Ave, directly behind the Hilton, we are open daily from 9 AM to 5 PM to help you make the most of every sunny second. Whether you are a thrill-seeker looking for jet ski rentals or a family wanting to enjoy a relaxing day on the water, we are your local experts for all things aquatic.

One of the most common questions visitors ask is whether they can enjoy the water outside of the traditional summer months. Thanks to our unique location on the Gulf of Mexico, the answer is a resounding yes! According to local travel experts, you can swim at Clearwater Beach year-round. The Gulf waters remain relatively mild, and the sun shines bright even in the heart of winter. This makes Clearwater a 365-day playground for anyone who loves the ocean. When you visit us at Pier 60 Watersports, you are not just getting a rental; you are getting access to the best things to do in Clearwater Beach with a team that knows these waters better than anyone else.

High-Octane Thrills with Jet Ski Rentals and More

If you have a need for speed, there is no better way to experience the Gulf than on one of our high-performance jet skis. Our jet ski rentals are designed to give you the freedom to explore the open water, feel the salt spray on your face, and perhaps even spot a few of our local Atlantic bottlenose dolphins playing in the wake. We pride ourselves on maintaining a top-tier fleet that is easy to operate, ensuring that even first-timers feel confident and safe before they head out from our docks behind the Hilton.

For those traveling with a group, our banana boat rides are a must-try. It is one of the most hilarious and exciting things to do in Clearwater Beach for families and friends. You will hop aboard our inflatable banana and hold on tight as we pull you across the waves. It is a high-energy experience that guarantees smiles and maybe a little bit of a splash! Because the waters here are generally calm and protected, it provides the perfect environment for these high-speed activities throughout the year. If you have questions about conditions or want to book your slot, you can always reach us at 727-335-6931.

Explore at Your Own Pace: Kayaks and Paddleboards

Not every day on the water needs to be fast-paced. Sometimes, the best way to appreciate the beauty of Clearwater is to slow down and take it all in. Our kayak and paddleboard rentals are perfect for those who want a bit of exercise while exploring the coastline. Paddling along the shore gives you a unique perspective of the beach that you just cannot get from the sand. You can peer into the clear water to see fish darting below or simply enjoy the tranquility of the Gulf.

• Single and Tandem Kayaks: Perfect for solo explorers or couples who want to navigate the calm waters together.
• Stand-Up Paddleboards (SUP): A great full-body workout that offers a bird's-eye view of the marine life beneath your feet.
• Expert Guidance: Our staff will provide you with all the necessary safety gear and a quick tutorial to ensure you have a successful journey.

Because you can swim and enjoy the water year-round in Clearwater Beach, these rentals are popular in every season. The gentle currents and clear visibility make our location behind the Hilton an ideal starting point for your paddling adventure. Whether you are looking to burn off some calories from a delicious seafood dinner or you just want some quiet time away from the crowds, we have the gear you need.

Top Things to Do in Clearwater Beach After Your Adventure

Once you have finished your session with Pier 60 Watersports, the fun is far from over. Our central location at 400 Mandalay Ave puts you right in the heart of the action. Clearwater Beach is famous for its vibrant atmosphere and family-friendly attractions. After you return your jet ski rentals, we highly recommend taking a short stroll over to the iconic Pier 60 fishing pier. As the sun begins to set, the pier transforms into a festival hub with local artisans, street performers, and some of the most breathtaking sunset views in Florida.

Local Tips for a Perfect Visit

To make the most of your trip, here are a few tips from your friends at Pier 60 Watersports:

• Arrive Early: We open at 9 AM daily. Getting here early ensures you get the best conditions on the water and beats the midday heat.
• Stay Hydrated: The Florida sun is no joke! Make sure to drink plenty of water before and after your watersports activities.
• Check the Weather: While you can swim year-round, we always keep a close eye on the wind and tide conditions to ensure your safety.
• Visit the Hilton: Since we are located directly behind the Hilton, you are just steps away from great amenities and dining options after your time on the water.

There is a reason why Clearwater remains a top-tier vacation spot. From the ability to dive into the waves in January to the thrill of catching air on a jet ski in July, this beach offers something for everyone. We invite you to come see us at Pier 60 Watersports and let us help you create memories that will last a lifetime.
