Still Shining: St. Pete-Clearwater
Official tourism marketing and management organization Visit St. Pete-Clearwater is telling the world the destination is “Still Shining,” and ready to welcome visitors.
After weathering two recent hurricanes, the beach community is open for business with nearly 80% of the destination welcoming guests.
This includes accommodations, attractions, restaurants, museums, shops and more.
“It’s important for everyone to know that St. Pete-Clearwater is Still Shining and ready as always to welcome residents and visitors,” said Brian Lowack, President & CEO of Visit St. Pete-Clearwater.
“Now is a great time to not just enjoy that walk on the beach, but also explore all the other amazing attributes that make us America’s favorite beaches.”
Beach access is open on Clearwater Beach and many of the surrounding beaches, though some access points may be restricted along the 35 miles of beaches. Over the coming weeks, the destination is expected to open additional beaches and parks.
Much of the destination has quickly resumed operations, including renowned attractions like The Dalí Museum and the Clearwater Marine Aquarium as well as the many other art, cultural and interactive experiences.
Popular waterfront venues and experiences like the St. Pete Pier and Hubbard’s Marina invite visitors to explore and enjoy the outdoors.
In addition to open attractions, restaurants, museums and more, travelers can enjoy major festivals and events taking place across the destination.
