Shop & Dine Local in Clearwater Beach
Grouper sandwiches and sunset dining. That's the Clearwater Beach experience in two phrases. Add tiki bars with live music, resort restaurants, and a marina full of seafood spots, and you've got a beach that eats as well as it looks.
The Food Scene
Fresh Gulf seafood runs the show. Frenchy's and the casual beachfront spots near Pier 60 are the go-to for grouper sandwiches and fried shrimp baskets. Beach Walk's resort restaurants go upscale — waterfront fine dining with sunset views. Marina-area restaurants serve harbor-view seafood.
Tiki bars with live music handle happy hour. Sunset dining is the signature experience — pick a waterfront spot, order the grouper, and watch the sky change colors.
