Sand Key Park is one of my most popular spots. Many of my families visiting Clearwater end up here because of close proximity to their hotel or condo. This location has a nice red colored lifeguard shack and I will bring you to the rock pier area for many shots. Great location to watch the sun go down and get your photos taken.

Postcard Inn on the Beach is a nice little hotel I've discovered in my forays along St. Petersburg Beaches. I pick this location because there is not a ton of traffic and its simply a beautiful location. The hotel is U shaped with a nice courtyard used for weddings and a pool area plus bar right at the start of the Beach. The place does have a party atmosphere. On the beach are some oats which make a great background, some sand dunes and finally the beach itself. It offers quite a bit of variety for a beach session.
