Clearwater is a city located in central Pinellas County, nearly due west of Tampa. With a total population of 108,787 as of the 2000 census, Clearwater is the county seat of Pinellas County and one of the three large cities that constitute the Tampa Bay Area region. Prior to 1906, the area was known as Clear Water Harbor. The name “Clear Water” is thought to have come from a fresh water spring flowing from near where the City Hall building is located today. There were many other freshwater springs that dotted the bayfront, many in the bay itself, which were the reason the crystal clear water found there.
With miles of soft white sand and sparkling waterways, Clearwater’s beaches rate among the best in the state and in the nation. Because of its world renowned beaches, extensive recreational opportunities, including the largest recreational fishing fleet on the West Coast of Florida, walking distance to restaurants and attractions, and all types of accommodations designed to fit every budget and taste, and nature-based attractions, Clearwater is one of the top choices in the Tampa Bay area.
