From the reviews

I am a member and have been for awhile now as the friendliness of the people there are very unique. It is actually on Clearwater Beach and the only one and up until recently when our Minister Rev. Herb Freitag retired that our Church received a real Blessing when our new Pastor Dr. Rhonda Blevins found her way to us.

★★★★★ — Don, Dec 2017

What a great place for Easter. We were in town and went there, and the sign said dont worry ho w you dress, you ate at the beach. But thank you for coming.

Getting married at Chapel By-the-Sea Clearwater Beach Community Church

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
