You’re in for beaches, baseball and delectable bites with an island vibe.
Clearwater, Florida, is best known as home to America's best beaches, often beating out Hawaii for top accolades. Accordingly, there are a ton of activities centered around the water, from lounging on the beach to up-close encounters with dolphins at the aquarium. But there are plenty of land-based things to do as well, with a small (but happening!) downtown filled with shops and dining. Sports fans can catch professional baseball spring training games at BayCare Ballpark. Plus, this city sees 240 days of sunshine on average, so there’s never a bad time to visit.
