Clearwater Beach Without a Car: How to Do It
You don't need a car on Clearwater Beach. Here's how to explore the island by foot, bike, and trolley.
By Stay & Play Clearwater
Everything Is Walkable
As our owner Andrew Beltz told Travel + Leisure, 'Everything on the island is walkable and so accessible.' Clearwater Beach was built for pedestrians.
Ride the Jolly Trolley
The Jolly Trolley connects Clearwater Beach to St. Pete Beach with stops at multiple beaches — an easy, affordable way to island-hop.
Use Your Complimentary Bike
Every Stay & Play guest gets a beach cruiser. Ride to Pier 60, the aquarium, and your favorite restaurant in minutes.
Book a Golf Cart
For the whole family, a 4- or 6-seater golf cart makes beach-hopping effortless.
