3. Clearwater Beach
Located on the Gulf coast and stretching 3 miles of the Pinellas Peninsula, it’s one of the best beach in fla. Why? Just take a visit and you’ll see why. The beach is considered one of the finest white sand beaches in the country and definitely one of the best beaches in fla. Furthermore, it keeps up with the Florida tradition of piers. You can take a walk along the famous Pier 60 to enjoy the beautiful sunset.
In addition, the fact that it’s close to Tampa does make it attractive to many. There are also many activities that you can do while there such as beach volleyball and going on a dolphin-watching cruise among many others.
4. Miami Beach
There is nothing much that you need to say, the name speaks for itself. This beach is considered as one of the best in Florida as well as in the country. There are many things that make the beach attractive. Apart from the beach itself, there are the surroundings that make it a worthwhile place to visit.
The area is as much a melting pot as it gets with a mix of many different cultures as travelers and residents mingle. Miami beach is unique in that it’s a family friendly place during the day and a sort of party city at night. Of course, there’s a lot more to Miami Beach than this, but you have to visit to understand.

Navarre Beach, between Pensacola and Ft. Walton Beach. Quiet, family oriented, in an area that is not bustling like Destin or Panama City, but close enough that shopping, restaurants and night life are just a short drive away.. My family has vacationed there every summer since 2006 and we look forward to returning every summer.

Beaches near Pensacola?

I’ve been to them all & take your pick in the Panama City Beach area for the overall best of natures beauty. Start with the state park.

You all might want to check out Pompano Beach just north of Ft. Lauderdale Beach. CRA just spent $50 million to upgrade the beachfront and in 3 years time over 2+million people have stopped by. The CRA is currently managing another$30+ million in new restaurants, a new pier, bars, hotels, burger shops, water features 1,500 spaces in 2 new parking decks.
Worth a look…..

I’ll probably sound like a snob, but when I think of state beaches, I don’t have a high opinion. That’s certainly not the case with Caladesi Island State Park Beach! That’s not just one of the cleanest beaches in Florida, it’s one of the cleanest beaches I’ve ever seen. It reminds me of a private island I visited in the Caribbean. Gorgeous!
Connor
I plan on visiting Florida this winter and appreciate all these recommendations for the cleanest Florida beaches. I have a question I’m hoping someone can answer. I want to visit Florida in early January (about the 2nd week) but don’t know if there are areas that might be warmer than others. I’m really looking to hit the beaches but don’t want to freeze. LOL.
Sam Danvers
I’m going to Miami soon and I think it’s almost obligatory to take a stop at Miami Beach. Are there any peak times I should watch out for? Also, I’ll be staying a hotel and wanted to know what’s the best way to get there.
Sandy Creener
You know what the cleanest Florida beaches are, now you want to get there. Sam, I remember when you never really knew until you got to your destination (unless you had a concierge or knew someone who lived nearby). I’d say you have several options. Check with travel sites like Trip Advisor, go to Reddit forums, and call the local travel bureau. Most cities have travel bureaus and they should be able to tell you all the information you need.

So many beaches! I wouldn’t know where to begin when it comes to Florida beaches. That’s why I’m glad you guys review the cleanest Florida beaches so I know which ones are good to go to. Saves a lot of guesswork. Is there any way to see which beaches give military discounts if there are admission fees? My parents might be going to Florida and I’m checking for them.
Vince Upton
Hey Morgan. Florida’s state park website has an exhaustive list of every state park’s fees as well as discounts. From what I can tell, Florida National Guard members receive a 50% discount. Check the site out for more: https://www.floridastateparks.org/fees You can go there and find out everything you’re looking for once you know which state beaches you want to visit.

One thing that can ruin a vacation for me is when you go to a beach and there’s garbage on it or other unsightly things. Ruins the entire trip. A web page with a list of the cleanest beaches in Florida is long overdue. Whoever came up with this idea is a genius!
Ricky Reed
Siesta Key Beach caught my eye. If I’m bringing my family, I want the cleanest beach in Florida and I want something where the kids can swim (as opposed to surfing). Some beaches are gorgeous and clean, but the water’s a bit too choppy. Siesta Key sounds like the place to be!
Hugh Sellers
That water in South Beach is gorgeous. It takes my breath away looking at the picture so I wonder how much better it looks like in person? Off the top of my head, I’d have to say South Beach looks like one of the cleanest beaches in Florida and there are some gorgeous beaches on your site.
Terry
So these are the cleanest Florida beaches? Looks like a challenge to me. I can start making my list and go for a beach blow-out in Florida. That’s a good way to relax and take in some beautiful scenery. Excellent photography by the way!
Kyle Atkins
When someone tells me they’re going to Florida to go hang out at the beach I ask them where they’re going and they usually have no idea. I don’t think people realize how many beaches there are in the Sunshine State which is why this site is helpful. You aren’t just getting a list of beaches, you’re getting the cleanest beaches in Florida so you know you’ll have a beautiful view.

Captiva Island Beach looks like my destination. I was looking through this site for the cleanest beaches in Florida because let’s be honest, some beaches are disgusting. Whether it’s garbage or just a bad set-up for the way things are laid out, some beaches are better-looking and cleaner than others. Captiva is gorgeous and clean. Boating and fishing? I may never leave!
Leslie Anderson
East coast vacation and I’m all set—suntan lotion, beach blanket, and a list of the cleanest beaches in Florida. I don’t know where to start. I’ve always wanted to hit Miami Beach, but Captiva Island Beach looks amazing too. So many gorgeous choices. Wish I had time to visit them all.
Karl MacGavin
Florida is truly one of the best states to go to for fun in the sun (it didn’t get the nickname “The Sunshine State” for no reason). This is a first though seeing a site with brief reviews of the cleanest beaches in Florida, and what you can expect. Looking forward to narrowing down my choices.
Dallas
I wish I could remember the name of this beach I went to in Florida back in the early 2000’s. It was one of the cleanest beaches I’ve ever been to, let alone a clean Florida beach. Looking at this list, I don’t recognize it but it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s here and I just forgot the name.
Bailey Thomas
No mom or dad (or grandparent) wants to plan a beach trip then get there and see that it looks more like the city dump. This array of the cleanest Florida beaches is an excellent guide for anyone looking to make sand castles, soak up some vitamin D, or hop in the water. With winter almost here, I’m sure these beaches will be looking even nicer.
