If you want a romantic date night on Clearwater Beach, we have some suggestions for you.

The wonderful thing about planning a date night on Clearwater Beach is that you will certainly be able to enjoy a gorgeous sunset to start things off. Whether you are hanging out on the sand on the beach, by Pier 60, or at a bar like Frenchy's Rockaway Grill or Palm Pavillion, it will be brilliant.

But where to go for dinner where you will be guaranteed a romantic and/or fun date night? We have three great suggestions.

#1 Bobby's Bistro for a Fun Date Night on Clearwater Beach

Bobby's Bistro is one of my favorite spots on Clearwater Beach and definitely a place you could describe as romantic. They have these booths in the back that are in this adorable enclave with a rounded ceiling. The lightning and wood decor make it warm and romantic. Though the menu isn't huge, they do have plenty of delicious and creative menu items and apps to choose from.

#2 Caretta On The Gulf for a Fun Date Night on Clearwater Beach

This is one of my favorite spots, and you don't have to be staying overnight at the Sand Pearl to enjoy it. Caretta's overlooks the water and action at the pools at the Sand Pearl down below. It has the ambiance of a steakhouse and fine dining to match. They have the best Cesar salad ever. Their wine list is incredible. And I highly recommend the grouper. Their sushi is really yummy, too.

#3 Sekushi on the Beach for a Fun Date Night on Clearwater Beach

Speaking of sushi, Sekushi offers some of the best sushi in all of Tampa Bay. It's in such close proximity to Frenchy's Rockaway, so start your date night on Clearwater Beach having a drink at Rockaway and then go enjoy the freshest sushi in town and hip ambiance.

Worst Beaches In America

Before giving you the Florida Beaches that were voted the best, I'm going to tell you about the bad. Two Florida beaches were actually voted as some of the worst beaches in the United States. Have any idea what those beaches are?

The first one is Daytona Beach. This beach was ranked as one of the worst by Wallet Genius because of the rip currents, which can get bad. Also, there are a lot of shark sightings. Lastly, in 2022 Tropical Storm Nicole caused a lot of erosion and damage.

The second is New Smyrna Beach which is known as the shark capital of the world. They have had more shark bites at the beach than anywhere else. The reason, there are a lot of baitfish near the shore which attracts the sharks to come feed.
