Sand Key Park, Florida, United States
4.5 (1.692 reviews) Spent Ranking #6 in Clearwater Parks
Great Public Beach in Clearwater
This is a nice white sand beach area just south of the Clearwater Pass. We found plenty of parking, which was kind of surprising for a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Parking costs $5 for the day, pay is at automated parking machine. Restroom facilities near the parking area. Boardwalk from parking to beach. Bring your own chairs/umbrellas, or you can pay $35 for the day for rental. If you do rent, note that they shut down at 6, which can be a problem if you want to stay later. Park was open until 8, which was plenty of time to watch the sunset.

Nice park and beach
Decided to check this out after a breakfast stop in Sand key. Very nice park with a large beach and ample parking. Parking is a 5 dollar flat rate from sunrise to sunset per day. We were they at low tide after a stormy night. The beach had some pretty cluttered sections from things washed ashore. I assume that the sand is groomed like Clearwater beach is although we didn't see that while there. I think this is a good option if Clearwater beach is too busy.

Very Nice Beach
Pensacola Beach still rates as my favorite beach in the U.S. But this was close. It's the same sand, surf, and turquoise water of Clearwater Beach with half the number of people. Plenty of parking. And even a food truck if you didn't pack a lunch (although a little expensive). Chair/umbrella rentals were available, a little pricey ($35 w/ tip), but were comfortable and stayed put when the wind picked up.
