Clearwater is by far the preferred coast. Atlantic will be colder. I guess it depends on what you're looking for.Daytona Beach, only 1 hour away and better scenery.

I've never really hung out on Daytona, went as a kid and drove thru last year, but Clearwater is just gorgeous and known for it's beautiful beaches so I'm partial to that, but would like to hear others opinions on the matter too. Not sure you'd want to stay there for the game but if you're going to stay multiple days, its a short drive.Good info. Thanks!
Never been to Orlando before so looking at places outside of Orlando to stay and say Daytona beach is only 1 hour away vs 2 hours for clear water. I won't get in the water but a warm beach and a mojito is on the schedule.
Good info. Thanks!

I'm on the Atlantic Side. People prefer what they prefer but I've always like the Ocean side over the Gulf. Really, you can't go too wrong either way. Daytona on down should be good weather probably. Around Christmas you can get some cold fronts or it can be 80's still. Cape Kennedy/Canaveral is on this side too so that's always a nice thing to check out for a day or at least a half a day.
Will the water still be warm enough to swim in?
Yes, at least it is here. I'm further south and the Gulf Stream is still near the coast here so it's cool but definitely swim-able. There are two resorts just to the south of us and those people swim all the time, even when we residents don't. They're on vacation so have to work a bit harder to make sure they have fun, LOL.
And people go in at Daytona so I know it's fine there. Not like a heated pool but if you've ever tried to swim in the Pacific in CA you will definitely appreciate it here.
And the beer scene in that area is primo.Clearwater is by far the preferred coast. Atlantic will be colder. I guess it depends on what you're looking for.

Absolute worst case scenario. Day after Christmas and farthest drive.
Would Texas fans travel to shi*ty bowl game?
Probably. It's been a little while, and there's a lot of them...
