Clearwater Muffler & Brake

It is always fun to learn about the ocean and all of the life that makes its home there. But it is a completely different experience to actually be out on the water to see that life in action. Aquatic enthusiasts will most definitely enjoy that opportunity when they get on board for the Sea Life Safari Boat Tour. This two-hour excursion is associated with the Clearwater Marine Aquarium and provides participants the chance to look for dolphins, sea birds and other marine life as one of the aquarium staff member narrates the scenic ride to a shell island. One of the many highlights of the trip includes seeing a net pull that offers a chance to reach out and touch ocean wildlife before they are released back into their natural habitat.

Cooperation instead of competition is the mission of Studio 1212. Established in October of 1970, this is the oldest artist cooperative in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. The membership is limited to thirty members who not only create and teach their craft in this cooperative, but they frequently hold openings and display their art for the public to view and purchase. Various classes are offered as well, as the members of the co-op also value the opportunity to give back by teaching their craft to aspiring artists.

When you're in Clearwater, you definitely want to make some time to visit the Cleveland Street District. This is Clearwater's downtown area that has undergone some impressive renovations and has now become quite popular with tourists and visitors alike. The area features a marina, Coachman Park, restaurants, shops, attractions and nightlife all contained in a relatively small but safe area of the city. It is only two miles from Clearwater Beach, which means that whether you are driving in or driving out from the Cleveland Street District, you will see some of the area's most stunning scenery that includes the Clearwater Memorial Causeway.
