Clearwater Beach
Powdery sand that squeaks underfoot and calm turquoise water—it’s the picture of a perfect Florida beach. Families love it because the waves are gentle and the vibe is laid-back.
Pier 60
Every evening the pier turns into a mini festival, with buskers, craft stalls and a sky that glows gold at sunset. It’s where everyone gathers to end the day.
Clearwater Marine Aquarium
Not a flashy aquarium, but a place where rescued dolphins and turtles are cared for—including Winter, the star of Dolphin Tale. It’s hands-on and heartfelt.
Boat Tours
Dolphins often bow-ride beside the boats, and families can even hop aboard a pirate cruise. However they choose, seeing the coast from the water is a highlight.
Beach Walk Promenade
Palm trees, pavement cafés and sea views—it’s perfect for an easy evening stroll with an ice cream in hand.
