Flight
Everyone should fly into Tampa International Airport. It is about a 30-minute drive to Clearwater Beach. Taxis are available at the airport, or you can use a ride-share app from your phone such as Uber or Lyft.
Hotel
Unfortunately, due to having a smaller wedding, I was not able to get a hotel block. However, there are many hotels in various pricing categories depending on what you are looking for. There are also AirBnb's available to rent. Some current prices on Expedia as of Nov 25, 2019: Clearwater Beach Hotel 75$/night Chart House Suites 133$/night Edge Hotel Clearwater Beach 153$/night Fairfield Inn & Suites Clearwater Beach 156$/night
Travel Note
In Florida, there is both Clearwater (the inland town), and Clearwater Beach. There is a long causeway that separates the two. Generally, staying at a hotel in Clearwater is a little cheaper than staying on the beach. However, you will need to rely on transportation to get around. If you stay on Clearwater Beach, you really do not need transportation. Just about everything is walking distance--from the shops, to the restaurants, to the ocean!
