Paradise:

One part sun...
   One part powder soft sand...
     One part warm gulf water...
       Bathing Suit to taste...

Florida's Sun-Coast beaches are world famous examples of this recipe for paradise. And Clearwater Beach is the best of the best!

The Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites on Clearwater Beach is located directly on the Gulf of Mexico and is just 500 feet from the powder soft sand and warm waters of the Gulf, making it the perfect place for a family vacation or romantic weekend getaway.

The Real Thing!

When we say "powder soft sand" we mean "powder soft sand"! It's hard to believe until you dig your toes in.

And the gentle warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico are really warm! The gulf water temperature in Clearwater ranges from the mid 80's in August to the mid and upper 60s in January.

Next to Nature!

In Clearwater Beach you can truly experience the sights, sounds, and scents of a tropical paradise.

Dolphin sightings from the beach are a daily occurrence, and the mesmerizing glide of fishing pelicans and comical antics of sandpiper are always in view.

The haunting call of laughing gulls and rustling of palm fronds add yet another relaxing dimension to this tropical paradise!

Beach Fun!

Clearwater Beach also boasts Florida's best beach activities. From parasailing and waverunner rentals (right from the hotel property), to beach volleyball and beachside events and rides, Clearwater Beach offers the best beach experience for a Florida getaway!
