Selecting the best beach bars in Clearwater Beach goes far beyond a night out because you should not forget about day partying as well! With so much more to offer than just their gorgeous views of the sunset, these Clearwater spots are a must when visiting the area. Whatever vibe you are looking for, there is a beach bar that is just made for you.
Since there are so many great options, we recommend making a weekend trip to enjoy the beach in between visiting each of these locations.

Clearwater locals are known to recommend The Sandbar at Opal Sand, especially if you’re looking for a signature beach tiki bar. With a relaxing but fun tropical feel and a gorgeous view of the water, Opal Sands is the perfect place to meet with friends and watch the sunset.
In complete beach fashion, you should definitely enjoy your cocktails in a beach bucket while listening to their live musicians. We recommend the Mango Bullseye – a mango style piña colada, your soon to be favorite summer drink!

Coco Coronado is a fully outdoor tiki bar in the heart of Clearwater Beach. Coco Coronado is a major stop for a night out since they close late. Tip: some beach bars close after sunset, so check their hours! Here, you can stay to enjoy their dreamy atmosphere under the moonlight, complete with string lights and palm trees. We recommend their signature drink, the Original Crush – a refreshing vodka cocktail that has freshly squeezed orange juice and yummy lemon-lime soda. With great food and fun games available, like giant Jenga and Connect 4, this is the perfect place for any crew – young or old.

If you’re looking for a more chilled out vibe to hang out with friends, look no further than the Brown Boxer. This casual spot offers a great Happy Hour menu alongside some classic games – like darts and pool. Brown Boxer offers great bar food as well, and we recommend the caprese appetizer. It may seem like a different and strange choice for bar food – but trust us, you won’t regret it! You can even pick between two locations – check out the original location in North Clearwater Beach for the best crowd of locals or the South Brown Boxer for a more low key type of night.

At the heart of the Shephard’s Beach Resort is the famous Shephard’s Tiki Beach Bar & Grill on the water. We guarantee that everyone in Tampa and Clearwater has visited or at least heard about Shephard’s because of their huge events for summer holidays like Memorial Day! Tried and true, this spot is definitely a local landmark when it comes to the bar scene. When you picture the perfect beach bar night, you’re likely going to be picturing Shephard’s. It’s perfect for a lit day party or a night out in Clearwater. If you’re a fan of EDM music or just a fun club atmosphere, this should be the place at the top of your list.
