Clearwater beach facilities and parking?

[helbel84]

Haven’t been since 2015 and we did a day trip to Clearwater, parked by crabby bills(I think it’s changed name now?) did little toot boat and some time on the beach.
Debating this time to stay the night. Not sure there is enough to fill 2 days and we are only there 10 nights.
Also if we go just for a day where is best to park? I remember by crabby bills it was parking meters we had to keep topping up with coins.
Last one, is there any showering facilities by the beach? I hate the feeling of dry salt water on skin!
Thanks!

There are outdoor showers just as you come off the beach by the public car park beside Frenchy's restaurant. Don't know the cost of the car park as we were staying in the Hilton and used theirs. This time we are staying at Pier House 60 as is was A LOT cheaper than the Hilton. We just go for the one night. Do Busch Gardens on the way there, check into the hotel and wander up the beach for dinner to watch the amazing sunset. Next day we plan to spend an hour or two on the beach and then either do Sea Screamer or Little Toot, followed by late lunch and then head home to villa.

We always go up to Clearwater, stay overnight and then do Busch Gardens on the way back. There is a car park by Pier 60. We stayed in the Pierhouse 60 Marina hotel and parked the car there. My sons like to fish off the Pier.

We usually do a couple of night there and our middle day is spent at Johns Pass. Its really got some quirky shops and also it has a Bubba Gumps

Just decided to do this the last two days that we have the car.
Driving over on the Tuesday, day at the beach, little toot toot and then nice chilled meal.
The Wednesday we'll spend the morning on the beach, then grab some lunch and head back to Orlando.
I can get Pier House 60 Hotel for £100 for the night.
I'll save one nights overnight parking at Cabana Bay, so $17 plus tax saved. Every little helps.
