Full Gulf exposure, no shelter
Clearwater Beach is a barrier island with the open Gulf on one side and the Intracoastal on the other, running from Sand Key up past the Marine Aquarium toward Caladesi.
There is no sheltered address here. Salt is constant and Gulf wind arrives with nothing in its way, which puts the strain on hardware and edges rather than the middle of the roof. Low-slope systems dominate the buildings and association work dominates the decisions. We specify marine-appropriate throughout and permit through the City of Clearwater.
