Disc Golf at the beach

Probably one of the most picturesque courses I've ever seen with 3 holes right on the beach. It is a challenging course with a good mix of open and technical holes. Well marked with signs. Clean. Friendly and courteous golfers. 2 tees and 2 pins on every hole. Well kept and o yeah.........an absolutely gorgeous view of Tampa Bay. Epic!

Very nice oceanfront park with a boardwalk, hiking trails, dunes, picnic shelters, a canoe dock & kids playground. Clean bathrooms and free parking Plenty of beach space for solo time. It closes at dark so that's a bummer but it's a really nice park. No dogs allowed on this beach.

With hundreds of things to do on Clearwater Beach, the main attraction is still pretty much its near-perfect beach (USA Today readers voted Clearwater Beach "Best Beach Town in Florida" in 2013). Beautiful white sand and clear, shallow water make this beach an ideal playground for families.

If you’re wanting to get a little bit of fresh air beside the ocean, then you’ll want to head over the Bayshore Boulevard. It’s the world’s longest sidewalk, running right alongside the view of the bay, and you can walk it or run it at your own pace. If you’re lucky, you’ll catch dolphins swimming in the water or the odd Manatee floating by slowly. It’s the perfect spot for a romantic stroll or a bike ride to get a bit of excersize while in one of the biggest cities in the state. It runs 7.2 km in total
