“The depth of the sugary, talc-white strand of sand at Clearwater Beach ensures a wealth of space for beach enthusiasts as they cavort from surf to towel, contemplating active options from paddleboarding to parasailing. Of course, simply lolling about in the oft-warm, blue-green swells, scanning for dolphin pods or enjoying the epic sunsets is just as appealing,” USA Today reported.

Treasure Island was ranked for its many beachfront hotels and restaurants and the opportunity to spot sea turtles nesting along the sand.
