Our nation's independence is a cause for celebration no matter what part of the country you might find yourself in. But if you are fortunate enough to be in Clearwater on July 4th, get ready for a powerfully patriotic observance of the day with the Clearwater Celebrates America festival. Held in Coachman Park, the event features live music, lots of great food, and of course, a dazzling fireworks display.

Taking it's name from the idea that you'll only find that rare item once in a blue moon, Blue Moon Books, Music and Antiques offers plenty of great items to discover no matter what color the moon might be tonight. This incredible store not only specializes in vintage and rare books on art and American history but also offers plenty of other great discoveries, too. These include an impressive selection of vintage vinyl LPs, used CDs, various antique and collectible items, art prints and maps.

A great way to experience the beauty of Clearwater's beaches in a unique way is to see it all from the Beach Walk. This winding beachside promenade features lush landscaping augmented by artistic touches that only serve to enhance your view of the beach. This is where cyclists, rollerbladers and walkers can enjoy being beachside while still marveling at it all from a distance.

Communing with Clearwater's dazzling natural beauty is easy when you visit Moccasin Lake Nature Park. This 50-acre park not only features an energy education center but also a lake, an upland forest and an incredible variety of plant and animal species. If you feel like getting even closer to it all, you can take a picturesque stroll on the one-mile trail that winds all through this beautiful natural attraction.
