To enhance safety measures and tools to keep beachgoers safe, the city has installed a system capable of detecting lightning strikes within a 5-mile radius of Clearwater Beach. When the lightning has been detected within 5 miles, an audible tone and message is emitted telling beachgoers to take shelter.
Residents, business owners and visitors are encouraged to share their feedback online via the survey below to assist the city in enhancing the system's effectiveness.
