Clearwater

11/9/2021

Literally translated "Clear Water" from the native Indian "Pocotopaug", the area was named for its abundant fresh springs along the shore. Settled by colonists in the mid-1830s, it was not until the 1890s that Clearwater gained a reputation as a resort community. Today, Clearwater Beach dazzles with impeccable beaches and inviting waters. Trip Advisor named it the nation's #1 beach in 2018. Besides the beaches, Clearwater itself has an inviting, small-town atmosphere.

                                           - - - - - - - - - personal notes    - - - - - - - - - 
Clearwater is in our top ten destinations for beaching, sunset photos and shopping/dining. The beach is always busy but it is the place to visit. From home, we have taken the trolley to Clearwater Beach and is worth a ride. 

Suggested Photo Opportunities:
 * Pier 60 - capture people activity during the day or night
 * Pier 60 and Marina area - (a must) for sunrise or sunset
 * Clearwater Memorial Causeway at sunset and after (causeway, marina, park sculpture)
 * City Walk in the Pier 60 area for night time photos (take bracketed photos with tripod)
 * Local shops and bars for 'Outside-In' theme captures
 * Check for moon rises and sets
Note: most parking is fee-based, and busy so plan on scouting area for parking lots.
