Yes you can with 2 chairs $20. Not bad

I don't know where Opel Hotel is but we were staying at the Palm Pavilion Inn and they were available there.

Clearwater Beach is busy 24/7, 365 days a year, and usually around 80-90 degrees most of the year. They have golf carts that you can rent to drive around in, or take a Jolly Trolley tour. I like Shephards Resort for my meals, as the food is excellent, plus there is a miniature golf course across the street from there. There are numerous stores to check out. Have a wonderful time!

Many of the hotels and motels offer full day parking from $15 to $30+ depending on the weather/season and uptake. There are several showers dotted along the beach (not enclosed ) but I think there are changing cubicles near Pier 60. The only sharks are the ones making excess profit in the bars and restaurants!

Sorry, didnt see this until now

I did see floats in the water while I was there (6/1 - 6/8).

You'll pay for parking ANYWHERE in Clearwater Beach at the tune of $3.50/hr. Best place to eat is Salty's by far. The beach is great anywhere but if you want to rent fun stuff stay close to the pier. Stay away from the bars that locals frequent. They tend to be trouble like The Shipwreck.
