This is the second laudatory message we’ve had here on the Cruisers’ Net in the last week about what a good idea it is to coil one’s lines at Clearwater Municipal Marina on Clearwater Beach. Perhaps we should all heed this siren’s call!

Perhaps the best stay you’ll have along Florida’s West Coast is on Clearwater beach. I’ve been just about everywhere along the ICW and cannot find a better location.
Clearwater Beach boasts plenty of restaurants, bars, clubs, services, and a decent sized Publix supermarket within walking distance from Clearwater Municipal Marina which can handle boats of all sizes.
It is very family and pet friendly with lots to do on any given night. On weekends they set up a huge outdoor movie screen near the pier and show a different film each night — free of charge.
The city has two marinas; a new floating slip on the Clearwater side (right along the ICW) and the original marina located on the beach. I highly recommend the older marina as the location is incredible.
Fuel dock has diesel/gas/free pumpouts
TV: cable provided but you’ll also pick up about 40 channels of digital over-the-air channels
Cell: Sprint:4g, Verizon:4g,AT&T:3g — all very strong signals.
Food: About 20 restaurants within a fifteen minute walk. Three within a five minute walk or less; one on location.
Shopping: Two unique gift shops on location and about thirty shops within a fifteen minute walk. Publix is a twenty minute walk or take a cab for about $3.50
Entertainment: Pier is one block away along with one of the most beautiful white sand beaches you’ll ever see; almost every bar/restaurant has live entertainment on most nights.
