Night Life & Entertainment

After-sunset Clearwater Beach — the bars, the live music, the rooftops, and Pier 60's nightly festival.

After Dark

Where the Beach Wakes Up

Clearwater Beach isn't a club town — it's a long-drink-at-sunset, live-music-by-the-pier, rooftop-view kind of town. Here's where to head when the sun sets.

Pier 60 Sunset Festival

Free nightly gathering with performers, artists, and Pier 60's signature sunset. Starts two hours before sundown.

Live Music on Beach Walk

Frenchy's Rockaway, Crabby's, and Shephard's host live bands most nights — especially on weekends.

Rooftop & Beach Bars

The Wave at the Hyatt, the Rooftop at Opal Sands, and Palm Pavilion's deck — sunset views are the draw.

Nearby Venues

The Sound Amphitheater and Ruth Eckerd Hall (Clearwater proper) pull national touring acts year-round.
