Let’s start with a classic. Pier 60is the postcard shot of Clearwater Beach. Sunset views? Unbeatable. Between the pier’s fishing poles and the palm-lined promenade, you’ll find multiple backdrops worth framing.

Park your golf cart nearby and explore the area on foot—lifeguard towers, ocean art, and festival vibes await. Pier 60 is one of the best photo spots in Clearwater Beach, and it shows.

Look, Anna Maria isn’t huge, but it’s packed with charm. From the boutique shops on Pine Avenueto quiet beaches at Bean Point, there’s a lot to see and a lot of ground to cover if you’re walking.

That’s where golf cart rentals in Anna Maria Island really shine.

You can hop from breakfast at Ginny’s & Jane E’sto an afternoon shell hunt at Coquina Beachwithout breaking a sweat or breaking your beach vibe. Parking’s a breeze (literally, most lots have dedicated golf cart spaces), and you’ll glide right past the folks stuck in full-size rentals trying to back into a spot.

You’re not just getting around; you’re sightseeing the whole way, top down, tunes up, Gulf breeze on your face as you take in everything Anna Maria Island has to offer.

And the best part? These aren’t your average clubhouse carts. These are street-safe golf cart rentals equipped with all necessary safety features to fulfill all Florida golf cart driving laws.

You get open-air rides, easier parking, and that unbeatable island breeze… all without losing access to the main roads or risking your safety.

Anna Maria Islandis, hands down, one of the best Florida beach towns to visit in fall.

You can start your morning on Pine Avenue, where you can grab a cinnamon bun from Ginny & Jane E’sand browse coastal home goods at Shiny Fish Emporium.

Then coast (literally) over to Bayfront Parkfor water views and pelican-watching, or loop around to Bean Point Beachfor an uncrowded, quiet walk along the sand.

Fall also means local events like BayFest—a family-friendly street fair with live music, food vendors, and small-town vibes. And with fewer visitors, navigating the island by cart is even easier.

Kick things off where locals gather to toast the sunset: Jimmy’s Crows Nest, perched ten floors up with a panoramic view of Clearwater Marinaand the beach beyond. It’s classy without being snobby, the kind of place where a cold rum punch tastes even better with sea breeze in your hair.

This is one of the best nightlife spots Clearwater Beach offers for low-key elegance. And yes, your golf cart fits perfectly in the hotel’s guest parking lot.

There are plenty of ways to explore Clearwater Beach: guided sightseeing tours, Segway rides, and boat excursions are popular options, but when you want to hit the streets your own way, nothing beats driving a golf cart. 

With a golf cart, you’re in control of the tour. Start your morning with coffee near Mandalay Avenue, swing past Pier 60, detour to the marina, and still make it in time for your dolphin encounter tour in Clearwater Beach. 

Want to grab tacos or catch a local art walk? Park right outside. No meters, no stress, and unlike in a Clearwater Beach Segway tour, here you march to the beat of your own drum and choose what and when to visit.

Not only that, but many of the best guided tours around Clearwater Beach, Florida, don’t include transportation—or if they do, it’s in a crowded van or tight trolley, so with a cart, you’re not squeezed next to strangers or stuck waiting on someone else’s schedule. You just roll where you want to roll.

The best things to do with kids in Clearwater Beach start with, well…the beach, and if you’re looking for safe shallow beach spots for toddlers or beaches equipped with everything for a family adventure, you’ve come to the right place.
