Traveller notes on Clearwater in April
Other months in Clearwater
Clearwater's forum calls March usually lovely beach weather, though winter isn't fully done with the Gulf coast yet — a cold front can still blow through and cool things off for a day or two. Regulars flag March as one of the area's busiest months as snowbirds and spring-break families both converge, so book well ahead and pack a warmer layer just in case.
