Beaches
The closest beach, the most renowned, sugar-sand Clearwater Beach is exciting, full of action (walk on Pier 60, take a cruise, enjoy the Beach Walk Promenade, lots of great restaurants...) but very crowded!

Our favorite! More laid-back and residential, look for the many public-access points, the beach is narrow and the water is a small walk away. Less services around, bring everything you need!

More private and peaceful, this residential community is filled with impressive waterfront homes, finding parking close to the beach can be challenging.

47 miles biking and running trail that spans from St.Pete to Tarpon Springs: you can easily reach it from Avalon. We enjoyed the part in Dunedin, full of nature, and along the sea (don't fall from your bike if you see a dolphin ;)
