Because why stay on campus?

I went to school in Tampa, which was great because I got to spend a lot of time near Clearwater Beach. If you've never been to Clearwater, you don't know what you're missing – Clearwater is more than crystal clear ocean, awesome piers and incredible shopping and dining. There is this unbelievable aura of rest and relaxation that you can't find anywhere else but in Clearwater, and it's that same aura that will keep you coming back for more once you step foot in the sandy shores in Clearwater.

Now, I was fortunate because since I went to school close by, I often got to spend my Spring Break near this wonderful stretch by the Gulf. But if you have never been to Clearwater and you're looking for a place to chill out, have a drink and unwind with your friends for spring break, that is definitely the place to be.

As you drive into Clearwater, you will immediately feel like you've arrived somewhere special. Everything is cool and crisp, even on the warmest day. There are plenty of activities you can take part of during the day and also at night. Most people think that Clearwater is just a beach. There are restaurants, clubs, lounges and places with live music jumping at you at every corner. And with it being just a few minutes away from Tampa and St. Petersburg, you can't lose.

There is one other aspect of Clearwater that I found pretty awesome during one of my stays. My friends and I decided it would be kind of fun to rent one of the many Clearwater beach condos available for the week and we were not sorry we did at all. The best part about Clearwater beach rentals is that you can pretty much find anything you want by the beach and with a great view for top-notch prices. Vacation rentals in Clearwater are not only affordable, but easy to find and some of them have the best views of the beach that you will ever find.

All of this and more awaits you in Clearwater, Florida. If you can't think of a place to go celebrate your spring break, take the plunge and go to Clearwater. You won't be sorry.
