The hotel

Ready to feel sand between your toes and sea salt in your hair? The Sheraton Sand Key puts you right on the shores of one of America’s best beaches, so you can be in those free-flowing waves in seconds. Take a dip in the pool overlooking the beach, and bubble away in the whirlpool. It's a great family friendly option, as kids will love having their own pool, and you can even grab some on-the-go grub, perfect for chilled-out family days. Complimentary transportation on the Jolly Trolley means you can connect to all that Clearwater Beach has to offer - water sports, playgrounds, shops and restaurants, but if you want to venture further afield it's just a short drive to Tampa.
