Clearwater

Clearwater, just west of Tampa, is part of the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater metropolitan area – one that offers visitors a cornucopia of vacation opportunities.

In Clearwater, you can enjoy sunsets at Pier 60, a nightly festival featuring music, crafts and street performers. The city also hosts the annual Clearwater Jazz Holiday.

Clearwater Marine Aquarium is the home of Winter, star of the "Dolphin Tale" movies. Inspiring people around the world, Winter is a symbol of courage, perseverance and hope – and the aquarium is the only place where you can see her. The aquarium also offers animal interaction programs, dolphin photo opportunities and stingray feedings.
