Clearwater Beach Weather Events June 2023

Clearwater Beach Weather – June 2023

The Clearwater Beach weather in June is perfect for a summer vacation. The hot sun warms the air quickly, with highs reaching the upper 80°s or even 90°s and only dropping into the upper 70°s at night. This means the ocean water stays very warm and in the upper 80°s.

These high temperatures create summer thunderstorms. They usually don’t last long, but they can be strong. Please be careful and get out of the water, off the beach, and go inside if you see lightning or hear thunder.

Sunsets at Pier 60 Daily Festival Celebrate the beautiful Clearwater Beach sunsets daily on Pier 60. The festival starts two hours before sunset and stays open until two hours after sunset. The daily festival includes artisans, crafters, street performers, and a beautiful sunset view on Clearwater Beach.

Clearwater Beach Weather & Events - April 2023

Clearwater Beach Weather – April 2023

The Clearwater Beach weather in April is perfect for a spring break beach trip! The temperature reaches the 80°s and only drops into the lower 60°s at night. The best news? There’s very little rain! It’s mostly sunny with only an average of 4 days of rain.

There’s a lot of talk going on right now about Red Tide in Clearwater Beach and the surrounding areas. The beach is still bustling, filled with Spring Breakers enjoying the beautiful weather. Some days are more affected by red tide than others. Red Tide is tracked daily throughout many Gulf of Mexico beaches, including Clearwater Beach. You can keep an eye on red tide here, on this map. Another great way to understand how red tide affects Clearwater Beach is to use our live webcam to see how many people are on the beach right now! Check out our live beach cam here! Pier 60 and south Clearwater Beach can be viewed here.

If you’re headed to Clearwater Beach for the first time, you’ll soon come across the multilane roundabout. The Clearwater Beach roundabout splits the island in half. You’ll first encounter the roundabout when crossing onto the island from Clearwater Memorial Causeway. You’ll find north Clearwater Beach on the right side of the roundabout and south Clearwater Beach on the left. You’re headed to north Clearwater Beach; what lane do you need to be in?

Clearwater Beach Roundabout Updates 2/15/2023

clearwater beach roundabout changes 2023

The City of Clearwater has recently announced changes to the Clearwater Beach roundabout. In an effort to improve traffic flow, vehicles in the outside lane of the roundabout will be forced to exit at Coronado drive and head towards south Clearwater Beach.

Here’s the announcement from the City of Clearwater…

“Traffic Pattern to Change at Clearwater Beach Roundabout: To improve the safety and traffic flow on and off Clearwater Beach, the city of Clearwater will implement a traffic safety pilot program to test a new traffic pattern starting Feb. 17. 🚗🚙🚕

The following minor traffic pattern changes are being made:

➡️ The outside roundabout lane south of Mandalay Avenue will be forced to go south on Coronado Drive.

➡️ Those in the inner lane will still be able to exit onto Coronado Drive or continue in the roundabout.

This is a pilot program and will be reviewed for six months to see if safety improves. Street markings and flexible posts will be installed in the area marked in red on the map.

Questions about this traffic proposal? Call (727) 562-4750.”

How to drive around the roundabout

*Originally written March 8, 2019. Please see the changes made above.

Clearwater Beach Roundabout

While approaching the roundabout, know which side of the island you are headed to and choose the appropriate lane before entering the roundabout. When entering Clearwater Beach, if you are headed to the north side of Clearwater Beach, you’ll be using one of the first two exits and need to be in the right lane. (Shown in green in the image above.)

If you’re headed to the south side of Clearwater Beach or essentially making a U-Turn and headed back off the island, approach the roundabout in the left lane and merge into the center lane of the roundabout. (Shown in yellow.) As vehicles exit, the roundabout from the right lane (green), cautiously merge from the inside lane into lanes if possible before exiting the roundabout. If traffic is backed up and space is available, you may exit from the center lane if there’s enough space available for a safe exit.

One part of the Clearwater Beach roundabout that is different from other multilane roundabouts is that the outside lane does not allow you to circle the roundabout consistently. The outside lane is forced to exit the roundabout and leave Clearwater Beach on Clearwater Memorial Causeway. Suppose you are traveling from south Clearwater Beach to north Clearwater Beach. In that case, you must enter the roundabout from the left lane and drive in the center lane of the roundabout passed Clearwater Memorial Causeway, the exit at the appropriate north beach exit.

Please yield to traffic and travel cautiously when entering the roundabout. When exiting the roundabout, please be aware that pedestrian crossings appear shortly after the roundabout.

Where's Clearwater Beach? Clearwater Beach, Florida is located on the Gulf of Mexico just outside of Tampa

When talking about my favorite places to go on vacation, my first response is always Clearwater Beach! …and that’s usually followed with the response… “Where’s Clearwater Beach?”

Where’s Clearwater Beach

Clearwater Beach is located on the Gulf of Mexico side of Florida. When looking at a map, you’ll find Clearwater Beach, Florida, in the Tampa Bay area. If you can find Old Tampa Bay on a map, follow the thinnest spot of land between Old Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. That narrow area of land will lead you to the downtown Clearwater area. Clearwater Beach is a barrier island on the Gulf of Mexico connected by a bridge to Clearwater, Florida.

Clearwater Beach, Florida, is an award-winning, family-friendly vacation destination. It has been named one of the Best Places to Travel in 2022, one of the best beaches in Florida, the United States, and even one of the best travel experiences in the world.

Where is Clearwater Beach Airport

Clearwater Beach airport is located only 12 and a half miles from the beach in Pinellas County, Florida. The airport’s official name is St. Pete – Clearwater International Airport (PIE). This small airport is an absolute breeze to get in and out of. It’s a short drive, and the airport’s small size makes it quick and easy to get in and out of.

St. Pete – Clearwater International Airport (PIE) offers domestic flights through Allegiant Air and Sun Country Airlines. International flights can be booked through Swoop Airlines.

If you’re looking for a different airline, this isn’t the only nearby airport. A wide variety of airlines can travel domestically and internationally to Clearwater Beach through the larger Tampa International Airport. Tampa International Airport is also close to Clearwater Beach, a short 20-mile drive from the airport to Clearwater Beach.

What to do in Clearwater Beach

Clearwater Beach is full of delicious restaurants, bars for everyone, and fun things to do for the whole family throughout the day and night.

Where to Stay in Clearwater Beach

Beachfront Condos on Clearwater Beach

Beachfront Condos on Clearwater Beach – https://clearwaterbeachrentals.com/

The beachfront condos hosted by B&W Management, Inc are the best places for families to visit Clearwater Beach.

These condos have beachfront views, private balconies, full kitchens, in-unit laundry, heated pools, and more. These condos come as 2 bed/2 bath, 3 bed/2 bath, and 4 bed/3 and a half bath options.

These condos are located on North Clearwater Beach. This provides a quieter and more relaxed surroundings than the hotels on South Clearwater beach. Access to the beach is steps away, and the public beach is less crowded on this side of Clearwater Beach. While it is quieter and calmer, you don’t miss out on any fun or the amenities of Clearwater Beach. There are bars within a few blocks, restaurants are nearby, and even the most popular beachfront restaurants with live music are within walking distance.

Clearwater Beach Day Trips

While Clearwater Beach is located on the Gulf of Mexico, you can still combine a beach vacation with a trip to Disney World or many other excellent areas of Florida!
