Who knew an old, weathered Coast Guard Station would birth the number 7 beach on Dr. Beach’s list of the top 10 beaches in America for 2010. Yet it did and with good reason. Easy to get to, which means it can get crowded, Coast Guard Beach in Cape Cod is one of those places where two forces of nature meet. You have what looks to be an old glacial cliff and the remaining sand as it fingers its way around to form a beach area.

Just imagine enjoying a great book while listening to the roll of the ocean waves crashing against the shore in the background and enjoying the cool breeze off the water. Clearwater beach is a celebrated home for great numbers of bottle nosed dolphins. At any time of the year, visitors can get to see a number of dolphins everywhere at the beach side. Clearwater Beach is undergoing a dramatic renaissance, the most significant improvement to Clearwater’s tourism economy in decades. The Billion Dollar Beach includes over one billion dollars in private development, a mix of upscale hotel accommodations, residential condominiums and Beach Walk, the City of Clearwater’s beautification program.
