With snow and ice outside today, it’s easy to dream of being back in Clearwater Beach, Florida.
Here are few favorite views from our trip there during a long weekend in January.
We flew into Tampa International Airport. The views are stunning even as the plane prepared to land.
Blue skies and blue water everywhere.
Within less than two hours of touchdown, we’ve collected our bags, hoped into our rental car, headed to the beach through traffic, checked into our hotel, and are ready to explore the beach.
The turtles make us feel welcome.
Clearwater Beach offers and miles of white powder sand.
A bucket of cold beer put us in the right “beach” attitude.
Mornings are made for long beach walks; it’s easy to get 10,000 steps in on the Fitbit here.
Walking on the crunch of tiny shells is satisfying, even when the weather is cool; like it was the weekend we visited.
The beach is groomed every morning, ready for visitors.
There is a good reason that USA Today called Clearwater Beach “˜North America’s “Best Place to Watch a Sunset.”
The views are magical.
We might have to get this painting to remember the magic:
