VOLUME VII FLORIDA'S SUNCOAST - JUNE, 2018 NUMBER 6

This month we are taking a trip on the Clearwater Ferry to Clearwater Beach. The Ferry charges $8 round-trip ($6 for Seniors) and is a pleasant alternative to the bumper-to-bumper traffic and $3/hr parking charges at the beach.
The Ferry handles 21 passengers comfortably. It makes a loop every hour with four stops 15 minutes apart.
The ride is short but you might see a pirate ship, a jet boat or maybe even the guardians of our coastline. Clearwater Ferry website. |

The first Ferry stop is at the busy and colorful waterfront across from the beach. From here you might take a boat tour on a pirate ship, book a fishing charter or rent a Sea-Doo and do your own tour. Now on to the beach! |

You'll quickly see why Clearwater Beach is always rated high in the top beaches of the World. Last year it was rated #1!
Miles of white sugar sand greets you along with the famous Pier 60, where there's a "show" every evening as everyone awaits a new sunset that paints the entire sky varying shades of pinks and orange before and after the globe descends into the Gulf to the West ushering in another pleasant, sub-tropical evening.
Street performers at the Pier may include acrobats, magicians or fire eaters. Local vendors display their crafts as well. |

Mandalay Avenue runs North and South just off the beach and is a mecca for diners, souvenier hunters and shoppers.
You'll find Hooters and Starbucks as well as local icons like Frenchy's, Cody's and The Beachcomber and other snack, ice cream and souvenier shops. |

Your Visitor's Guide
to Tampa Bay!
Whether you are here on vacation, spring break or a quick business trip, take time to relax and enjoy all that Tampa, St. Pete and Clearwater Beach have to offer.
Tampa is a cosmopolitan city known for fine dining, upscale shops, spectacular shows, Busch Gardens and Lowry Park Zoo just for starters.
St. Pete holds its own on both the Bay and the Gulf with gorgeous beaches, Tampa Bay Rays Baseball, a vibrant downtown and Gulfside areas.
Clearwater Beach means "the Beach" to most visitors but it's also home to Winter and Hope, the dolphin movie stars in one of the finest aquariums and movie museums in the Country.
Don't forget the fun to be had every afternoon at Pier 60 as locals and visitors alike gather to pay homage to another spectacular sunset.
