Recreation and Leisure
Because of their world-renown beaches, Clearwater boasts extensive recreational opportunities, including the largest recreational fishing fleet on the West Coast of Florida.
The Clearwater Municipal Marina offers a wide variety of activities including deep-sea fishing charters, dolphin encounters and tours to Caladesi Island State Park.
Caladesi Island, on the northern most point of Clearwater Beach, is the 4th best ranked natural beach in the world. The Island's State Park features three miles of nature trails and a 108-slip marina. The park is only accessible by ferry, private boat or at low tide by foot.
Anxious to hear the familiar rifts of “Take Me Out to the Ballpark?’. Well, don’t despair! Major League Baseball's Philadelphia Phillies hold spring training in Clearwater and play exhibition games at Clearwater's Bright House Networks Field. Additionally the city is home to the Clearwater Threshers baseball club of the Florida State League.
