Away from the bustle of downtown Clearwater, out on the Gulf just across the Memorial Causeway, lay unspoiled Clearwater Beach. Aerial photographs from 1928 show still-virgin territory with rolling dunes, sandy inlets and a few paved roads, where a profusion of homes, motels and hotels stand today.

Strollers on Mandalay Avenue 70 years ago would have seen sun worshippers and bathers, but beach development was limited to the new pavilion, Clearwater Yacht Club, Southern College classrooms, the Mandalay Hotel on the north end of the beach, and a few other sites.

Memories abound from the era—including one that Clearwater High School football teams have lived with for decades. In 1922, the local team lost its first game to Bartow—104 to 0.
