Clearwater has no shortage of great burger spots and Thursday is your excuse to visit one. Nationally Steak n’ Shake, Burger King, Shake Shack, Smashburger, Habit, and others are running deals, so check their apps before you go. But honestly skip the chains and support a local Clearwater burger spot instead. You know where to go.

🌀 Hurricane Preparedness Day - Saturday May 30th - FREE

With hurricane season starting June 1st this is one event worth putting on your calendar. Pinellas County and the City of Clearwater are hosting a free Hurricane Preparedness Day Expo on Saturday May 30th from 10am to 1pm at North Greenwood Recreation Center, 900 N. Martin Luther King Jr. Ave in Clearwater.
The event is packed with genuinely useful resources: free hurricane kit supplies, evacuation zone lookup, Special Needs Evacuation Program registration, emergency shelter demonstration, disaster legal aid, and a Business Resource Center. Bring your pets for free exams, rabies shots and microchips with a county license purchase. OneBlood will be on site for a blood drive with a $20 gift card for donors. Free hot dogs provided by The Salvation Army. This is exactly the kind of community resource MyClearwaterScoop exists to share.

🏖️ Clearwater Beach Water Temperature - Summer Is Here Early
If you've been waiting for the Gulf to warm up the wait is over. Clearwater Beach water temperatures have reached 81 degrees. Warm, clear, and perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, or just wading in. Historically Gulf temperatures peak around 85-86 degrees in late summer so we're already well into comfortable swimming territory ahead of schedule.
