Pier 60 is Clearwater's well known sightseeing and fishing pier and is the focal point of the beach. Pier 60 Park is home to "Sunsets at Pier 60", a nightly festival celebrating the setting of the sun. The Gulf sunsets across the fleet at anchor provide the perfect end to magical days. About 15 miles (24 km) north of Clearwater Beach is Tarpon Springs, once the center of a sea sponge industry. The industry is no longer viable but the Greek communities who were originally attracted to the area left a lasting landmark in the lovely Greek Orthodox St Nicholas Church located in the Tarpons Springs Historic District. The town continues to have a Greek influence through its restaurants, bakeries and shops.
Getting There & Getting Around Tampa International Airport is the major air gateway to this area. (The St. Petersburg Clearwater Airport has limited service) Most major airlines serve Tampa International, including Air Canada, AirTran, America West, American, British Airways, Continental and Delta as well as several of the economy carriers. Amtrak operates a service to and from the Tampa Amtrak Station. The Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority runs trolley service along Gulf Boulevard between St. Pete Beach and the Sand Key Resort where it connects with the Jolly Trolley which continues through to Clearwater Beach. |
