How are the beaches around St. Petes? Are they decent for swimming and watersports? Thanks!

If' it's the beach that you're wanting, then have you ruled out Clearwater? I'm a graduate of USF (undergraduate) and went to law school at Stetson College of Law in Gulf Port/St. Pete. Since USF is in the northern portion of Tampa, I would think that it would be a "straight shot" from Clearwater over to "South Florida". Beaches are great in Clearwater. I mean after all it's the same Gulf in both cities.
