Beaches VisitSPC.com/Beaches Sand Key WHAT SETS IT APART: Sand Key has her upscale high-rise side but lets her hair down on the sweeping shore of Sand Key Park, where a white shawl of sugar-sand beach hugs a glistening emerald coastline. Boulders and Australian pines guard Clearwater Pass. WHERE TO PLAY: Hit the picnic areas, a playground and a dog park before grabbing grub from the Sand Key Grill food truck on the beach. Shops and restaurants, like Poolside or Mio's Grill & Cafe, accommodate beachgoers across the boulevard. WHERE TO STAY: Sheraton Sand Key Resort and Clearwater Beach Marriott Suites offer top-notch amenities and recreation a quick ride away. WHERE TO PLAY: Brave the waves with Jet Skis from Wet Rentals and Tours or lounge on Tiki boat rides. Serious seafarers visit the Clearwater Community Sailing Center. WHAT LOCALS KNOW: A boardwalk, nature trails, salt marsh and wildlife habitats let you forget the noise for a bit. 24 AMERICA’S BEST BEACHES
