The best of Clearwater Beach, outside your door
Park once.
Walk everywhere.
Stay peacefully tucked beside Clearwater Bay, just minutes on foot from the Gulf, Pier 60, the marina, restaurants, shops, and sunset celebrations.
A rare Clearwater Beach advantage
Your car can take a vacation, too.
Registered guests park free at Barefoot Bay, then step into one of Florida’s most walkable beach neighborhoods.
Head west for sugar-white Gulf sand and Pier 60. Walk around the corner for fishing charters, sightseeing cruises, and waterfront activities. Return to our quieter bayfront setting when you are ready to slow down.

Bay adventures without leaving the resort.
Start a guided jet-ski tour from Barefoot Bay Marina—or simply sit by the water and watch for dolphins.
Our bayfront decks offer a peaceful counterpoint to the lively beach. It is one of the small pleasures guests remember long after checkout.
A short ride beyond the sand
Meet rescued marine life.
Clearwater Marine Aquarium is a working marine-animal hospital on nearby Island Estates. The Jolley Trolley provides service from the Clearwater Beach transit center, or it is a short drive from the resort.
