1. Hang Out On Clearwater Beach.
Clearwater Beach is known for its sugar sand and gorgeous sunsets and has the awards to back it up. It won Trip Advisor’s 2018 Traveler’s Choice Award for being the #1 Beach In America and also earned a 2018 Traveler’s Choice Award for being one of the Top 10 Beaches In The World. It’s no wonder that so many people want to spend their beach vacations here.
2. Enjoy The Sunset Festival At Pier 60.
After a day on the beach, we loved wandering over to Pier 60 for the nightly Sunset Festival. Weather permitting, the celebration runs from two hours before sunset to two hours after sunset and it should be on the must-do list for any Clearwater family vacation.
3. Take A Boat Tour.
From sunset tours to dolphin cruises, there is no shortage of boat tours to choose from. One popular cruise takes you aboard a pirate ship where kids can set sail with a friendly pirate crew. We chose to take a dolphin tour on the Mega Bite, a boat resembling an oversized shark and it turned out to be one of our favorite family-friendly things to do in Clearwater.
4. Play Miniature Golf.

5. Visit The Clearwater Marine Aquarium.
The Clearwater Marine Aquarium is just a short drive from the beach and one of the more popular family-friendly things to do in Clearwater. Here you’ll meet two local celebrities, Winter and Hope from the Dolphin Tale movies.
