      WHY CLEARWATER – ST. PETERSBURG?

      clearwater_beach_florida_us

      It’s really all about the beach here in Clearwater, which consistently ranks among the top beaches in the U.S. (Look over any survey of best beaches and the ones here typically show up year-after-year.)

      Embedded on the Pinellas Peninsula are excellent beaches strung out along 25+ miles of barrier islands.

      Clearwater is at the northern end. At the south end is St. Petersburg Beach, the more crowded and congested of the cities here.

      8114134477_0615acc93e_o

      Moving north to Treasure Island, things get quieter as you go over to Sand Key. Here you have Indian Shores, Madeira Beach, Redington Shores, Bellair Beach. Crossing the high bridge here takes you to Clearwater Beach.

      St Petersburg derives its name from the city of the same name in Russia because one of its founders, Peter Demens, was from there. Demens was a pivotal figure in the development of St. Petersburg because he helped get rail service established in the late 1880s, spurring growth.

      There are wildly juxtaposed entities here: you’ll find kitschy souvenir shops in the same area as the world headquarters of Scientology. Spring training brings the Philadelphia Phillies, who offer their games at Bright House Field, not far from the site of the original Hooters restaurant. Go figure.

      The lifestyle in Pinellas County is decidedly more laid back than Miami and the East Coast cities in South Florida. That’s why people like it.

      You will too.
