CLEARWATER BEACH INFORMATION IN FLORIDA (Fla.)
Clearwater Beach is the Best City Beach On The Gulf Of Mexico according to Dr. Stephen Leatherman (Dr. Beach), a Florida International University professor who has been ranking America's beaches for ten years. Caladesi Island and Sand Key beaches have been named among the best natural beaches in the United States. Caladesi Island State Park is currently ranked fifth, primarily for its water quality, rustic charm, clean beaches, on-site amenities and its emphasis on wildlife. Pinellas County is the only Florida destination which can say it has two of the top 10 beaches (Fort DeSoto Park is ranked fourth). These annual ratings are based on 50 stringent criteria that cover almost every measure of beach health, including sand quality, water temperature and presence of litter. Leatherman's list is based on personal visits and constant contact with naturalists, park rangers and scientists around the nation.
USATODAY.com readers ranked Clearwater Beach in their Top 10 list of best beaches from Maine to Hawaii. Conde Nast Traveler has also recognized Clearwater Beach as the best city beach on the Gulf of Mexico. Clearwater Beach is consistently ranked best beach by Tampa Bay Magazine. In their first ever poll, Florida Sports Magazine readers echoed best beach in Florida.
In addition, Clearwater is very proud to be designated a Blue Wave Beach. This designation assists the public in identifying the nation's best beaches. This certification program, overseen by the Clean Beaches Council, promotes beaches which are managed to protect their natural assets, insuring excellence in the areas of water quality, cleanliness, safety, services, habitat conservation, information, education and erosion management. Caladesi Island, Honeymoon Island and Sand Key Park beaches also received the Blue Wave Designation.
