florida beach house - Clearwater Beach Florida 

Living in Clearwater one of our favorite things to do in December is to enjoy the beautiful Holiday Boat Parades held in the various Tampa beach towns. Unfortunately Dunedin's and St Pete Beach boat parades were cancelled last weekend because of windy weather and currently there is no make up date.  

For us, the Clearwater Beach – Island Estates Memorial Parade is one of our favorites and will be hosting their boat parade this weekend.  You can see various lighted boat parades as far north as Tarpon Springs Florida down to Tierra Verde (southern Pinellas County) tonight. We're so lucky to have so many great options. If you go, let me know what you think!

Here's a list of the local parades we found going on the next two weekends (weather permitting).

One of the most popular in the area, this year's parade on December 12th, 2009 and marks the 35th year that this parade. The boat parade is sponsored by the Island Estates Yacht Club.  Boats. All boats will assemble at 6 pm in Mandalay Channel, between Island Estates and Clearwater Beach. They will proceed through Island Estates' canals, arriving downtown at Coachman Park at 8 pm, then they will sail under Memorial Causeway Bridge, down the Clearwater Marina Channel and winds up finishing at the Clearwater Yacht Club on the southern end of Clearwater Beach.
