Your Passage to the Sunshine State: Clearwater Air Park

Introduction

Located in the heart of Pinellas County, Florida is a midsized airport which has been servicing its community since October 1942 — Clearwater Air Park (IATA: CLW; ICAO: KCLW). This airport sits at 71 ft of elevation above sea level and is the only airport in Pinellas County that is not located within a flood zone, making it an excellent choice for all aspects of private and commercial aviators.

Airlines and Destinations

As of now, Clearwater Air Park is not served by any scheduled commercial airline. The airport, however, is a favorite for private and charter flights in the area, as all their pilots enjoy this outpost for both recreational aviation or business.

Passengers & Flights

Clearwater Air Park is a relatively large airport based on the number of domestic flights and passengers it serves each year. This is an important regional hub airport by the number of annual boarding passengers, with 1,500-2,000 departing each day. Not so much international.

How to Get Here

Clearwater Air Park is at 1000 North Hercules Ave, Clearwater, FL 33765 and just three miles northeast of the city's central business district. The airport location is highly convenient to get in and out of with plenty of parking available.

Parking

Options for parking are available at the airport, including the Key Lime lot that is across from its main entrance, and when filled, you can use the Strawberry lot or even next to the terminal building for long-term parking.

Transportation Prices

Ground transportation services are also available at Clearwater Air Park via taxi, rideshare, and rental vehicles. Providers may charge different prices according to distance and service, so you should investigate which is the best before your arrival.

Terminal Layout

The airport consists of a single-terminal building with both an upper level for departures and a lower level for arrivals. There is a total of 7 gates equipped with all the necessary amenities and services that every traveler requires.

Navigate the Airport

Clearwater Air Park makes your entry a walk in the park, as there are highly visible signboards to direct you through the terminal. It is one small and efficient airport, so it is very easy to get from place to place as a traveler.

Getting Between Terminals

Currently, Clearwater Air Park has only one terminal building, so there are no trekking around to different terminals like at some airports. Travelers can simply go back and forth between the departures and arrivals levels in a single building.

Services and Amenities

The airport features a variety of shops and restaurants—offering everything from locally produced cheeses to tacky tourist merchandise—as well as standard infrastructure, including modern customs facilities for both private aircraft and international flying.

Restaurants and Shops

Marine aviation buffs should head to the National Harbor area, where a four-acre park containing Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning IIs offers videos and interpretive signage.

Security and Customs

However, being a domestic airport, it is without customs or international security checks. The airport, however, does meet all Transportation Security Administration (TSA) rules and regulations in order to keep our passengers safe.

Accessibility

Clearwater Air Park is dedicated to ensuring our facilities are accessible and welcoming for all travelers. The facilities and infrastructure at the airport are optimally designed to meet specific requirements of passengers with disabilities, making it a barrier-free travel experience.
