Clearwater Beach

Clearwater is a progressive city that is committed
to enhancing residents' lives while preserving a
heritage that is rich in culture and exquisite in
landscape. Here you'll find everything you could expect
from a tropical paradise - and much more. 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, fun 'n sun lovers still come from around the world,
and although Clearwater is a great spot to get away, it's an
even better place to live. Our community is friendly and
socially responsive, and our City government is economically
active and environmentally conscious. The City provides
citizens with the programs and resources they need, and the
amenities they desire.
