Was throwing darts at a map last night looking for a fun place to spend a week or so in November. I've been to Fort Myers beach but never further north. Will be just the wife and I, not big partiers, just looking for somewhere warm and nice that won't break the bank. Any thoughts?

I live here and love it.

The beach is what you make of it here. It is beautiful but smaller, there is areas by the pier that are crowded or if you are ok with a little walk just head north of the 880 Pier/condos and it is secluded and quiet.

Any specific questions? thoughts?

Thanks guys, gonna book a flight tonight. Does the ferry from FMB still run to Key West? would like to do that for a day or 2 as well.

That it does.


Also from clearwater beach take the Ferry to Downtown Dunedin for a night (were I actually live). Great small town that is a lot of fun and there is a boat ferry back and forth.

Wife and I love Clearwater Beach. We go either in November or March. Definitely check out Dunedin for a day trip. Wife wants to move there in 3 years when we retire. We've stayed at both the Sand Pearl and lately Opal Sands. Really like Opal Sands. Pricey but we've always been able to work deals with them. Close to Shepard's which has live music on the beach, Jimmy's Crows Nest for a bar with a view, and has it's own tiki bar with food that has awesome sunsets. Plenty of other nice hotels in the area as well.

Make a day trip to Anna Maria Island ( just across the Skyway Bridge). Still many small luxury hotels , beautiful beaches , no parking meters!

Love Clearwater, my wife and I have stayed at the Opal Sands mid February the last 3 years. Great location. Enjoy!!
