We stayed here the beginning of June with an ocean view and deck. The views were amazing, and even more special right on the beach which is a brief walk outside and down to the water. The equivalent of one-city block distance. They have complementary beach umbrellas, beach chairs, and beach towels that you can easily sign out at the desk and carry down to the beach. The beach is open 24/7. Thereâs no glass or alcohol permitted on the beach, people were drinking, but they just had it in an insulated cup where you couldnât tell what they had. The beach is huge and seems to go on forever in both directions. There were a lot of people, but it never felt super crowded at all. It was perfect and a lot of fun. There is a small parking lot and a couple of small houses between the Avalon and the beach, which were not evident in the pictures I saw before staying there, but it really didnât have any impact on our view or our stay. The tap water in Clearwater is not very good anywhere, so the hotel coffee did not taste very good. They have K-cup coffee makers in each room and when I use bottled water to make coffee it tasted good. Thereâs also a coffee shop a short five minute walk away (Caffeinated Bakery) that has good coffee. Thereâs also a cute âdive-barâ type atmosphere called Reeferâs on the same block with good drinks and friendly staff. Nearby walking distance food with great views of the ocean include Frenchyâs Rockaway Grill, and the Palm Pavillion Beachside Grill.
