Clam Pass Beach

“ A shaded boardwalk through thick mangroves that slowly opens onto a wide, bright beach. You can ride the free tram or walk the three-quarter-mile path. At the end, the Gulf spreads out in soft sand and calm surf, with a tidal channel that gently carries you like a lazy river. It’s easy and inviting—families set up umbrellas, kids drift with the current, and there’s everything you need close by, from restrooms and rentals to snacks and showers. ”
