re: Which beach is better in the Tampa area: Clearwater or St Petersburg

Research Lido Beach, or Lido Key Beach…it’s a massive beach with easy parking and a super cool little town with dining…all sorts cool drives north and south on those long skinny islands (depending on where you get on).

You can get on Anna Maria Island, the top of the islands south of Tampa, and drive down to Lido…the bottom, getting out along the way. They ride horses in the water, so that’s cool.

Lido is REALLY cool though, huge beach. Nothing sugar sand like 30A, but cool none the less.
