Pier 60
What the experts agree on
This 1,080-foot fishing pier anchors Clearwater Beach with pavilions, telescopes, and a bait house. Daily sunsets draw crowds, especially in high season when the beach gets packed, but it's a classic spot for fishing, views, and people-watching.
“Around 3:30 pm each day, weather permitting, the area surrounding the pier starts to liven up.”
