Clearwater Beach -- what can we rent?

[cassandrap83]

Well, we were sure we were going to Cocoa Beach and then I decided last minute to switch to Clearwater. Can we rent umbrellas here? Where is the best place to camp out? We'll probably be there early morning to afternoon.

We absolutely LOVE CB!! We try to go once a year, so you've made a GREAT switch!
We've never needed an umbrella (cabana type) until last year when we finally rented one due to the wind. I can't remember the cost, but it was right off the beachside Frenchy's.
There are so many great areas if you drive along the coast in that area. There is a decent parking area right in the center of CB right by the roundabout, but it can be busier. If you just take a little drive north or south of there, you'll find great beaches that usually aren't overcrowded.
Also, there is a fun pirate cruise right in CB along with good shopping. And if you have the time, drive up the coast to Honeymoon Island and take a ferry to Caladesi Isand. Its SO beautiful and only a certain number of visitors are allowed at a time. Lots of great shells and amazing wildlife.
Good luck and have a wonderful time!!

Yes you can rent umbrellas for at 8 to 10 dollars a day that was 2 years ago.. Better off going to walmart and buy an umbrella for about 8 dollars and your done.. It pays for itself.
