St. Pete/Clearwater makes planning a multi-gen family holiday in Florida a lot easier all round. You’ll find larger than average places to stay on all its incredible beaches. And as for that elusive ‘something for everyone‘ factor, it’s here, and then some!
Come for Gulf Coast beaches and 361 days of sunshine
It’s beach weather almost every day of the year in St. Pete/Clearwater, so it’s handy that so many award-winning Gulf Coast beaches are at home on its 35 mile long coast. If you want more than sand and sun, this is also the place for world class museums, quaint Old Florida towns, historic state parks, islands, cities and outdoor adventures by the acre.
Adding Orlando into the mix is easy to do
When we said it had ‘something for everyone’ we were not over-promising. Orlando is only a 90-minute drive away from St. Pete/Clearwater, so you can even add in theme parks for a twin-centre multi-gen holiday in Florida.

St. Pete Beach Suites, St. Pete Beach
Between its complimentary guest bikes, beachfront setting, swimming pools and thoughtful touches like beach towels and poolside BBQs, St. Pete Beach Suites hardly needs to say it’s family-friendly.
However, what makes it particularly appealing for multi-gen family holidays in Florida is the variety of accommodation.
As well as one-bedroom and studio suites, a three-bedroom beach house is also available, and a range of different floor plans mean you can choose the layout that works best for everyone.
Pasa Tiempo, St. Pete Beach
Just minutes from award-winning St. Pete Beach, Pasa Tiempo is every bit the laid-back family resort you imagine on Florida’s sunny Gulf Coast.
But not all resorts feature a private waterfront villa with two bedrooms, or give you a choice of suites which can be easily interconnected to create the right size space for larger families.
Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach
Waking up to unbroken views of the Gulf Coast is a promise Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach makes very easily.
Apart from sitting practically on the sand, this sleek beach hotel offers a range of spacious family rooms featuring bunk beds designed to impress kids. There’s even a Winter & Friends dolphin-themed family room, which is cute and conscientious: Wyndham Grand donates part of the proceeds from every stay here to Clearwater Marine Aquarium.
