Many of the Gulf Coast beaches with their fine sand and warm sea are also within reach.

Clearwater Beach, the largest in the area, has been named the top city beach along the Gulf Coast, offering just about every water and beach activity imaginable. Pier 60 Park features a family recreation complex on Clearwater's expansive beach with covered playgrounds, fishing and concessions. The 'Sunsets at Pier 60 Festival' features music, entertainment and a beautiful Gulf of Mexico sunset throughout the year.

There are several other smaller beaches closer to Homosassa, some in country parks, that have various facilities to keep you entertained for the day and where you can experience the Gulf of Mexico sunsets.
