Beach Pier 60 Clearwater

Pier 60 is one of those spots where you can easily burn a whole afternoon without even trying. The walking path along the pier gives you solid views of the Gulf, and if you time it right, the sunsets here are genuinely hard to beat — locals show up specifically for them. It’s right on Clearwater Beach, so the sand and water are basically steps away. The area gets busy in season, no question, but there’s a reason people keep coming back to this stretch of coastline.
