Clearwater Marine Aquarium

Clearwater Marine Aquarium is a marine conservation facility known for its work with rehabilitated sea turtles, dolphins, and other marine wildlife. The aquarium’s focal point is Winter, a bottlenose dolphin equipped with a prosthetic tail, whose story has attracted worldwide attention and inspired movies. Visitors are greeted by engaging exhibits that emphasize education and conservation. Plan to spend a couple of hours to see the animal encounters and educational presentations, which are particularly rewarding for younger visitors. Consider visiting during the cooler parts of the day; nearby Clearwater Beach makes for a nice post-aquarium stroll, providing soft sands and a laid-back atmosphere.
