Which Beaches in Florida Have the Clearest Water?

Planning a vacation to Florida? Most people want to know which beaches have the clearest water. After all, it’s one of the main attractions besides year-round sunshine, palm trees and amusement parks. You can find clear water and warm temperatures on just about any beach, but our favorite is at Siesta Key, FL. Read on for a list of the clearest water beaches in Florida, and the best times to visit.

Gulf coast

When you plan to spend a lot of time in the water, paying a visit to the Gulf coast is a good idea. The Gulf of Mexico usually has warmer water temperatures—up to five degrees Fahrenheit higher than the Atlantic side.

Siesta Key, FL has one of Florida’s most beautiful sandy beaches. In fact, it was voted Best Beach in the United States and the 11^th Best Beach in the World in the 2020 Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice™ awards. Point of Rocks beach is full of limestone ledges, which makes a great spot for beginner snorkelers and swimmers.

In addition to swimming and snorkeling, you can enjoy jet ski, boat and kayak rentals—Cool Breeze Boats and Jet Ski Rentals is just a 35-minute drive from Siesta Key. If you’re looking to enjoy everything Florida is renowned for, don’t miss the opportunity to visit Siesta Key.

St. Andrews State Park is another beautiful Gulf coast beach. It has a long, rocky shoreline and plenty of marine life visible in the crystal-clear water. Egmont Key State Park is accessible by public ferry or private boat, and has a submerged fort for snorkelers to explore.

Atlantic coast

The Atlantic coast has plenty to offer, too. There are a lot of submerged rock ledges underwater, which create havens for marine life. There are fewer snorkeling spots within reach of the beach, but most have clear water and are accessible when the surf is calm. Bahia Honda State Park and John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park are beautiful beaches with crystal-clear water—you can explore the reefs and ledges underwater, or you can just enjoy the water and sights from the comfort of solid ground.
