Clearwater Beach Location

Opal Sands is situated directly on Clearwater Beach, with access to the Beach Walk promenade. The property is 1 km from Clearwater Beach Marina, 0.3 km from Surf Style shopping, and 3 km from Sand Key Park. Tampa International Airport is 23 miles away; Pete-Clearwater International Airport is 15 miles away. The concierge can arrange transportation and activity bookings.

Services & Accessibility

The resort provides 24-hour fitness center access, dry cleaning services Monday through Saturday, and mobility accessibility throughout with self-operating lifts and sloped entryways. Meeting spaces total 17,000 square feet with Gulf views. Opal Paws program offers dog amenities for a $30 fee. Room service is available, and the concierge can organize fishing charters, boat tours, and golf lessons at nearby courses.

“What stands out here is the Gulf-front setting, paired with some interesting options for events. I noted the direct beach access and artful décor that incorporates local artists, but reports of ongoing construction nearby should give guests pause. It's a property that mixes luxury aspirations with some potential disruptions.”
