Is Clearwater Beach open all night?

While many other Florida beaches close at night, Narcity contacted the Clearwater Parks and Recreation's department to confirm that beach access is available 24/7. So don't forget your bathing suit. Beach rules still apply at night, and swimming is only allowed within the marked Safe Bathing Limit areas.

Arrive very early – 7-8 am or earlier – to get the best public parking. I highly recommend staying at a Clearwater Beach hotel with parking or staying at a nearby town and taking the trolley or Clearwater Beach Ferry for lower parking cost and less hassle.
