August is coming & so is the excitement...


August in Clearwater Beach, Florida, is a slice of summer paradise—think sugar-white sands, turquoise waves, and a vibrant lineup of events that make every day a celebration. At Blue Waves Suites, we’re your cozy, beachside home base, just a 2-minute walk from the Gulf of Mexico’s sparkling shores. Our newly renovated suites, complete with full kitchens, comfy beds, and free beach gear (towels, chairs, umbrellas), are perfect for families, couples, or solo travelers ready to soak up the August sun. Here’s why August 2025 is the ideal time to stay and play at Blue Waves Suites, plus a special deal to make your beach escape even sweeter!


Exciting Reasons to Visit Clearwater Beach in August 2025


  1. Pier 60 Sunset Festival: A Daily Beach Party
    Every evening, Pier 60 (just 2.5 miles from Blue Waves Suites) transforms into a lively Sunset Festival, running two hours before and after sunset. Enjoy live music, street performers, and local artisans against the backdrop of Clearwater’s world-famous cotton-candy skies. It’s a family-friendly vibe perfect for unwinding after a day at the beach.
    Insider Tip: Stroll from your suite to Pier 60 along the Beach Walk promenade for stunning sunset views and grab a tropical drink at a nearby bar like Marina Cantina (0.2 miles away).
  2. Clearwater Beach Restaurant Week (Aug 1–10, Tentative)
    Foodies, rejoice! Clearwater Beach Restaurant Week, typically held in early August, showcases the area’s culinary scene with special menus at top spots like Frenchy’s Rockaway Grill or Caretta on the Gulf, both within walking distance. Savor fresh Gulf seafood, stone crab claws, or a grouper sandwich while enjoying beachfront views.
    Insider Tip: Book a table early and use your suite’s full kitchen to prep snacks for beach days, saving room for restaurant specials
  3. Beach Volleyball Tournaments: Summer Energy on the Sand
    August brings weekend volleyball tournaments to Clearwater Beach, drawing players and spectators for high-energy matches on the powdery sands. Watch pros spike and dive or join a casual game near Blue Waves Suites. The beach’s soft, raked-daily sand and calm surf make it ideal for sports and fun. Insider Tip: Bring your free beach chairs from Blue Waves Suites to cheer from the sidelines
  4. Dolphin-Watching Cruises: Adventure on the Gulf
    August’s warm waters attract playful dolphins, and Clearwater Marina (0.2 miles from our suites) offers daily cruises with guaranteed sightings. Hop on a 40-foot boat for a 2-hour tour, complete with snorkeling or shelling stops at Compass Island. It’s a hit for kids and adults alike! Insider Tip: Book your cruise through the marina and pack a cooler with ice from your suite’s kitchen for refreshments.
  5. Perfect Weather for Beach Days
    August in Clearwater Beach means warm temps (low 90s) and 240+ days of sunshine, perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or building sandcastles on the award-winning beach (voted #1 in the U.S. by TripAdvisor multiple years). The calm, clear waters are ideal for families, with lifeguards on duty year-round—a rarity in Pinellas County. Insider Tip: Use our complimentary beach gear to set up camp near Pier 60 for easy bathroom access and dolphin sightings just offshore.
