Benson's Best Home Team - Coastal Properties Group

Everything from folk trios to classic jazz bands to seasonal favorites like "The Nutcracker" and other musical performances are part of the impressive entertainment schedule at Clearwater's Ruth Eckerd Hall. The venue's impressive stage and design make every performance a real treat for the senses no matter where your seat is located in the spacious auditorium. The Hall also offers a variety of classes that are designed to bring out the artist in everyone who enrolls. There are also many different activities and special presentations planned throughout the year that are designed to preserve the art of performance for future generations.

Don't let the small size of the Clearwater Marine Aquarium fool you. This highly interesting attraction is very big on ensuring the survival of marine life in the area. While offering visitors the chance to see marine fauna, the aquarium also is a facility in which injured animals go through an extensive rehabilitation process before returning to their natural habitats. Visitors learn about ecology and how important it is to respect the wildlife that inhabit it. Some of the creatures that you'll see here include sharks, otters, dolphins, and stingrays. Stop into the gift shop while you're here, as the proceeds from your purchase go to help fund this non-profit organization.

For something a little different tonight, get ready for the classy nightlife experience that is Bobby's Bistro and Wine Bar. Located a block from the beach, this is an extension of Bobby Heilman's main restaurant and offers delicious a la carte dining in four separate dining rooms. The wine bar is the obvious highlight, as its extensive inventory includes more than 20,000 bottles. The menu is equally impressive, featuring such delicious fare as sherry garlic shrimp, a half-rack of JamAsian baby back ribs and gourmet pizzas.
