Combine your visit to Florida's number one beach with a visit to one of its great, undiscovered gems, the new-look Clearwater Marine Aquarium in Clearwater Beach. There's a lot of great things to do at Clearwater Beach, but we think the aquarium is top of the lot!
Our guide to Clearwater Beach Tour & Marine Aquarium
So, you’d like a day at the beach? Great idea! And we have the perfect offering for providing a blissful day of sun and sand in the heart of Florida’s gorgeous Gulf Coast. Clearwater Beach offers Florida's premier seaside experience with a seemingly endless expanse of wide, open beachfront to suit every bucket and spade! It is a superb family destination in every sense, with lots to see and do in addition to those uncrowded acres of welcoming sugar-white sands.
And when it comes to some of Florida’s great, undiscovered gems, the new-look Clearwater Marine Aquarium in Clearwater Beach is right up there with the best of them. And rightly so. It is a fascinating supporter of marine rescue and rehabilitation. Their unique facility is home to underwater viewing windows, a hands-on stingray beach, and many other one-of-a-kind animal homes and exhibits that are truly different. You can also hear the Legacy of Winter the dolphin, who was a recused dolphin who made it as a Hollywood star, of DolphinTail movies!
It shouldn’t be surprising, therefore, that it is one of our highlight tours, offering the chance to enjoy a real in-depth (no pun intended!) experience with this wonderful marine life centre. A recent $80million expansion project has created a fresh, new vibe to the Aquarium, and visitors are always amazed at just how much there is to see and do here, starting with the rehabilitation work for a great variety of animals, from dolphins to otters, and continuing through a wide range of experiences, exhibits and additional programs.
With the fact this is a working animal hospital, some of the animals can change, but you will always find rehab viewings of sea turtles, dolphins, stingrays and even sharks, as well as pelicans and the always-playful otters. Some of the animals cannot be released back into the wild, hence they have become ‘mascots’ for the Aquarium.
In addition to your aquarium experience, you will have plenty of time to enjoy the fun and enjoyment of ‘America’s Beach’ – voted the No.1 in the country year after year – to revel in for the rest of the day. Families love the gently-sloping beach and mild waves - ideal for children of all ages, while the long Beach Walk promenade offers an enticing array of shops, restaurants and bars, and then you can hit Pier 60 for that iconic Clearwater Beach photograph.
A $20 gift card per adult and a $10 gift card per child is provided for customers who choose the lunch ticket option, giving you the flexibility to choose what you eat at a classic beachside restaurant. Enjoy the view while you refuel with a tasty meal that highlights the local seafood and other tempting dishes. The gift card can be used for anything at any of the Crabbys group locations at Clearwater Beach - Crabby’s Bar & Grill, Crabby’s Dockside, Crabby’s Hideaway, Salty’s Island Bar & Grill, The Salty Crab North Beach.
