Everything Else

Features in Chamber of Commerce Beach by Design, these cute little houses have been around since 1920s. This area is the very last beachside group of older beach houses and cottages, now restored as vacation rentals. Most of Clearwater Beach looked like this prior to the demolition of all the older hotels and cottages to make way for the new ritzy high end condos and hotels in South Beach.

Getting Around

Runs all day, stops at Speedway gas station two blocks from Cottages, but usually stops if you flag them down. Great open air trolley. My parents would ride it all the way to St. Pete, and get off in all the diffenent beach towns, on the way.. Get a day pass if you like to visit beach towns.
