Clearwater Beach, FL

Tampa Bay's top beach - high-volume Gulf Coast STR

Clearwater Beach has been named the #1 beach in the US by TripAdvisor multiple times and consistently ranks among the highest-occupancy Gulf Coast STR markets. Proximity to Tampa (30 min) and St. Petersburg creates a massive drive-to feeder market, while Pier 60 sunsets and Caladesi Island State Park anchor the tourism draw. Entry prices are moderate relative to performance.
