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.
Clearwater's dazzling natural beauty is well worth celebrating. You can do that by booking your trip on board the Sunset Celebration Cruise. The cruise departs from Clearwater Bay through Clearwater Pass and into the Gulf of Mexico, touring the most beautiful waters surrounding Florida. Enjoy the breathtaking views of the shoreline and sunset while your captain points out some of the many points of interest along the way. The friendly crew will make sure you are comfortable as you enjoy complimentary beer, wine and soft drinks. And, don't miss the special champagne toast at sunset.
Taking it's name from the idea that you'll only find that rare item once in a blue moon, Blue Moon Books, Music and Antiques offers plenty of great items to discover no matter what color the moon might be tonight. This incredible store not only specializes in vintage and rare books on art and American history but also offers plenty of other great discoveries, too. These include an impressive selection of vintage vinyl LPs, used CDs, various antique and collectible items, art prints and maps.
Spending time in Clearwater means that visiting the beach is almost a requirement. And regardless if you are a big fan of the beach or not, you will love spending some time outdoors at Sand Key Park. While this may be one of the many beaches in the area, it has the distinction of being the widest and whitest in Florida, including the Panhandle, as well. Enjoy strolling leisurely along the shore in the evening or make it a day-long visit. But remember that the popularity of this beach means that there is always a fair amount of fellow beach-goers on hand, so plan your visit accordingly.
