Clearwater Beach Transportation

Clearwater is a 90-minute drive from Orlando and Sanford International Airports, an easy four hour drive from Miami International Airport and less than a day's drive from all major cities in Florida, including Key West at Florida's southernmost tip.

Three airports just minutes from the beaches make your arrival quick and easy. Both Tampa International Airport (19 miles to the beach) and the St. Petersburg/Clearwater International Airport (11 miles to the beach) have been recently renovated from top to bottom. The Official Airline Guide has chosen Tampa International Airport as one of the five best airports in the world and Conde Nast has ranked it the best airport in the United States and 3rd best in the world. Airport shuttles and rental cars are available at both airports. Clearwater Executive Airpark is designed for small private and corporate aircraft.

You won't need a car on Clearwater Beach. Although everything is within easy walking distance, consider the Jolley Trolley, a San Francisco-style trolley car, which travels throughout Clearwater Beach and into downtown. Catch the Suncoast Beach Trolley to explore the many unique beach communities stretching from Clearwater's Sand Key south to Pass-A-Grille. Connecting trolleys and buses travel inland to various shopping venues and to St. Petersburg's downtown museums. Several companies offer tours, including transportation, to Tampa and Orlando attractions.

Bus transportation is available throughout Pinellas County via Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA).
