Two Tampa Bay beaches make Tripadvisor’s ‘Best Beaches of 2024’ list

Two beaches in Tampa Bay have been recognized on Tripadvisor’s 2024 Best Beach lists as part of the annual Travelers’ Choice Awards. The rankings are based on an analysis of global beach reviews collected by Tripadvisor over the past year, highlighting top-rated beaches visited by real people.

Siesta Key Beach, situated in the Sarasota area, secured the No. 2 spot nationally for the second consecutive year, and was the sole Florida beach to make the global top beaches list in 2023, securing the No. 9 position. Clearwater Beach made a significant jump in the rankings, climbing from No. 23 to No. 12 in the U.S.

This year, however, St. Pete Beach dropped off the ranking after holding the No. 14 spot last year. Other Florida beaches listed in the U.S. rankings include Hollywood Beach, Panama Beach, Fort Lauderdale Beach, and St. Augustine Beach. You can view the complete list here.
