If you’re looking for an incredibly family friendly beach vacation, look no further than Clearwater Beach, Florida.  If silky white sand, clean beaches and beautiful Gulf sunsets aren’t enough for you, then the array of kid friendly activities should be more than enough to sell you.  The boardwalk and pier alone is idyllic of coastal Florida and you can spend the whole week there without ever needing to set foot in a car. We walked everywhere and if you’re a parent who has traveled with kids before, the difference between being able to plop your kid in a stroller compared to plopping them in a car simplifies EVERYTHING.
