Clearwater or sarosota

[Sally D]

We went to Treasure Island for the day a couple of weeks ago. It was lovely, spent time on the beach, the sea was so warm. We then drove along Gulf Boulavard to Clearwater and went on the Sea Screamer. Saw loads of dolphins that were jumping out of the water next to the boat and behind us. Had a fantastic day and can't wait to go back.

We left Orlando early morning and stopped at IHOP for breakfast. We did go into a place for a drink in Clearwater and they made us very welcome and chatted asway to us about what we have been doing etc.

I have been to both these areas in the past.

I feel that the barrier island beaches off sarasota are nicer than the Clearwater area which feel more built up and busy to me. But that may be what some prefer.
