Welcome to the website for Florida’s Billion Dollar Beach!

Clearwater Beach, already one of the world's most popular vacation destinations, is becoming an even more beautiful place to visit and experience.

Billion Dollar Beach is the exciting future of Clearwater Beach, Florida.

Over one billion dollars in private development - a mix of hotels, residential condominiums and condo-hotels - and Beach Walk, the City of Clearwater's $30 million beautification program, are transforming this beachside community on Florida’s beautiful Gulf Coast. This dramatic renaissance is the most significant improvement in decades to Clearwater’s tourism economy.

Beach Walk

Beach Walk, envisioned as a winding beachside promenade with artistic, whimsical touches, improved beach access and clear views to Clearwater's award-winning beach, will dramatically complement the visitor experience through the addition of lush landscaping, amenities, and public areas.

Construction is progressing in four distinct phases and began in January 2006. The entire project is scheduled for completion by 2009. To learn more about Beach Walk, visit the City of Clearwater’s web site, www.myclearwater.com/beachwalk.
