Clearwater is a 90-minute drive
from Orlando and Sanford International Airports, an
easy four hour drive from Miami International Airport
and less than a day's drive from all major cities in
Florida, including Key West at Florida's southernmost
tip.
Three airports just minutes
from the beaches make your arrival quick and easy. Both
Tampa International Airport (19 miles to the beach)
and the St.
Petersburg/Clearwater International Airport (11
miles to the beach) have been recently renovated from
top to bottom. The Official Airline Guide has chosen
Tampa International Airport as one of the five best
airports in the world and Conde Nast has ranked
it the best airport in the United States and 3rd best
in the world. Airport shuttles and rental cars are available
at both airports. Clearwater
Executive Airpark is designed for small private
and corporate aircraft.
You won't need a car on Clearwater Beach. Although everything
is within easy walking distance,consider the Jolley
Trolley, a San Francisco-style trolley car, which
travels throughout Clearwater Beach and into downtown.
Catch the Suncoast
Beach Trolley to explore the many unique beach communities
stretching from Clearwater's Sand Key south to Pass-A-Grille.
Connecting trolleys and buses travel inland to various
shopping venues and to St. Petersburg's downtown museums.
Several companies offer tours, including transportation,
to Tampa and Orlando attractions.
Bus transportation is available throughout Pinellas
County via Pinellas
Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA).
Taxi cabs cannot be hailed from the street as in other
communities; either call a cab company or ask a local
business to call for you.
