Your Special Boating Code for Backcountry Boating in Pinellas County

Your gateway to the boating action around Clearwater Beach is the City of Clearwater's Seminole Street Boat Ramp. Located on the mainland, directly across from the beach, this ramp is the heavy hitter for area boaters. It is a busy ramp on the weekends, as it is used by all types of Pinellas boat owners...from the big game fishermen heading deep into the Gulf to the sport boats using their craft for bar hopping or sightseeing around the wonderful waters of Clearwater Beach.

	When you arrive your heart will start pumping, as the views of Clearwater Harbor are wonderful. Straight ahead is the bayside of Clearwater Beach.
	Even the huge sailboats can now navigate under the new Memorial Causeway. No more waiting for the bridge to go up!
	Ok, we have diet drinks, beer, sandwiches, chips...load up, we are ready to roll. We can be at the beach in 5 minutes!

	This is a hot area for fishing, as there are all sorts of islands, bridges, flats, or deep water to fish in.
	You won't be boating alone, as you will see all sorts of great boats enjoying the scene.
	Seminole Street Boat Ramp has a huge waterfront parking area, that overlooks the Memorial Causeway just behind it.
	The ramp is run by the City of Clearwater, is open 24/7, and has 6 ramps to use. We love that it does not close, as sunset and nighttime fishing is really fun.
	You do have to pay a boat ramp fee of $5 (residents) or $7 (non-residents). The bait shop is open from 6am to sunset.
	The views from the ramp are so special. Just past the ramps is a small park area.
