Top 10 Reasons to live on Clearwater Beach
By Kristin Vincelli
 I feel very lucky to have been raised in such a beautiful place! I grew up in paradise and have actually never seen real snow, imagine that! I think it's safe to say I have quite a few reasons why this is a great place to live, but here are my top 10 reasons to live on Clearwater Beach:
