The county seat for Pinellas County, Clearwater is connected to the nearby cities of Tampa and St Petersburg by a causeway.
Clearwater was originally incorporated in 1891. The city has scene steady growth since the turn of the century with a population of nearly 110,000 currently. Clearwater was a major training base for US troops during WWII. In the late 1970’s Clearwater became the spiritual headquarters for the Church of Scientology. The Church and city have had a rocky relationship ever since.
There are many boat tours in Clearwater. Captain Memo’s Pirate Cruise is one of the most popular with the kids. It’s fun for the adults too.
