Clearwater Beach Live Cam

Clearwater Beach is a popular vacation destination in Florida, known for its stunning white sand beaches, crystal clear waters, and lively atmosphere. The area has a rich history that dates back to the 1800s.

The Tocobaga Indians were the first known inhabitants of the Clearwater area, followed by the Spanish explorers who arrived in the area in the 16th century. The Spanish named the area "Espiritu Santo Springs," meaning "Springs of the Holy Spirit."

In the late 1800s, pioneers began settling in the area, attracted by the natural beauty and abundant fishing opportunities. One of the first settlers was a man named David Harrison "Uncle Dave" Davis, who built a small wooden bridge across Clearwater Harbor and started ferrying people across to the beach.
