About Clearwater Beach

Clearwater Beach is the barrier-island part of the City of Clearwater, linked to the mainland by the Memorial Causeway, which replaced the old drawbridge in 2005. The beach is known for Pier 60, named after State Road 60, which ends there, and the Beach Walk promenade completed in 2008.

Behind the hotels, the island's residential streets run down to the Intracoastal Waterway and Clearwater Harbor. To the south, a short bridge connects to Sand Key. Those bayside lots face the harbor rather than the open Gulf, which shapes the kind of wall damage owners see.

What Clearwater Beach seawalls are up against

Residential seawalls here are mostly on the harbor side and along small canals off the Intracoastal, many of them on narrow lots with docks and lifts. Boat wakes from the busy channel and storm surge pushing into the harbor both work on these walls.

Plan around dock and lift hardware

Many bayside lots here have a lift or dock bolted to the wall cap. Ask any contractor to price detaching and reattaching that hardware up front, because it's often left out of first quotes on the island.

Permits for a Clearwater Beach seawall

The seawall itself is permitted by Pinellas County Water and Navigation, which reviews seawalls, docks and riprap in every Pinellas city and in the unincorporated county.

Prepare for your Clearwater Beach estimate

  • Note whether your lift is mounted on the cap or on its own pilings
  • Ask how equipment will reach a narrow island lot without damaging the driveway
  • Take photos at low tide of the cap, joints and any holes in the yard
  • Measure your wall length roughly, from one neighbor's wall to the other

Clearwater Beach seawall questions

Is Clearwater Beach part of the City of Clearwater?

Yes. It's the city's barrier island, so city pre-approval and the County's Water and Navigation permit both apply.

Do Gulf-front lots have seawalls?

Most Gulf-front property is beach. The residential seawalls owners ask about are mostly on the harbor and Intracoastal side.

Can work be done from the water?

Often, yes. Some contractors use barges for island lots where yard access is tight.
