Sand Key Park

Cheap parking spot near a large beach, also for RV's. Lots of nice sea ahells, sea gulls and views. Sand is very white so bring your sunglasses. Water is not clear and beware of currents. Some parts have rentable chairs, umbrellas and windshields. Would strongly recommend staying at this place.

Absolutely beautiful!! Great place to watch the sunset. Good place to hunt for shells. Parking only $6 for the day. Beach closes at 6pm and beach patrol will run you off starting at 5:45. Lots of weddings at sunset so you need to pay attention where you're walking as some forget this is a public beach area.

Clean, quiet beach with easy parking for a minimal fee. It’s a good option when Clearwater beach is too crowded. There was a food truck with a limited menu. Chairs and umbrellas were available if needed.

Stunningly gorgeous beach and Tons of shells! You can find lots of mother of pearl and conch shells. We found several whole conch shells in the shallow water. Parking was $6, clean restrooms by beach standards, changing areas in the bathrooms, showers, food truck and ice sales, some shady parking areas. Can't wait to come back!

Visited Sand Key Park multiple times during my vacation in Clearwater, and it quickly became one of my favorite beaches in the area. Compared to Clearwater Beach, this beach is much less crowded and feels more relaxed and spacious. One of the best parts is the ample parking available right near the beach. The parking fee is very reasonable—around $6 for the entire day—which makes it convenient if you plan to stay for several hours. The beach is clean and well maintained, with restrooms and a cleanup area available. Sand Key Park is also a great spot to watch the sunset; the views in the evening are beautiful and peaceful. Sun umbrellas are available for rent (we didn’t rent one, but it’s good to have the option). Overall, this is a great choice if you’re looking for a quieter beach experience with good facilities and easy parking. Highly recommended for families and anyone wanting a calmer alternative to Clearwater Beach.
