Do

• After spending a lot, hot day at the beach, why not head on down to Pier 60 for the nightly 'Sunsets at Pier 60' event. This event started back in 1995. Every night, lots of vendors and entertainers set up shop at Pier 60. It starts two hours before sunset, and ends two hours after the sun goes down. And then, for a few hours, lots and lots of people, tourists and locals, go on down and hang out at the Pier. There's tons of little souvenirs to buy, from candles to jewelry. Sometimes there is a booth set up where you can go get henna tattoos. There are also crazy entertainers putting on shows nightly. Every night, as well, there are live concerts held. All of this is free to attend, and very family friendly. And if you get tired of the crowds, head on down the water for a little relaxation. Pier 60 is one of the best places to see when visiting Clearwater Beach.
