Fodor's Review:

Connected to downtown Clearwater by Memorial Causeway, Clearwater Beach is on a narrow island between Clearwater Harbor and the gulf. It has a widespread reputation for beach volleyball. There are lifeguards here as well as a marina, concessions, showers, and rest rooms. Around Pier 60 there's a big, modern playground. This is the site of a nightly sunset celebration complete with musicians and artisans. It's one of the area's nicest and busiest beaches, especially on weekends and during spring break, but it's also one of the costliest in terms of parking fees, which can reach $1.25 per hour.

One of the general area's best beaches, and the best this far north in Pinellas County. Large and pleasant to walk, often crowded. Parking can be a challenge.
