When to visit based on price
The months of September, October and November are the best months for lowest prices in Clearwater, Florida.Key attractions
The overall main attraction in Clearwater is its beaches, hands down. You’ll find nothing but sugar white san and casual blue waters for miles. It’s no wonder that visitors flock here each year from up north in the cold and snow. With sunshine pretty much guaranteed almost 360 days a year, what’s note to love?The Clearwater Marine Aquarium is the home of “Winter”, a bottlenose dolphin that was rescued from a crab trap back in 2005. Winter became a movie star in 2011 by staring in the children’s (and some adults) film called Dolphin Tale. This aquarium itself is seen in the movie, which really assisted it in gaining popularity.
Also offered by the Clearwater Marine Aquarium is the Sea Life Safari, a 2 hour boat ride on Clearwater’s inter-coastal waters. The guides will point out various birds and sea mammals, including dolphins.
Having fun
For some excitement off the beach and waters, how about visiting AirHeads Trampoline Arena. This indoor adventure in jumping and flopping has the walls and floors covered with trampolines, and with admission offers unlimited jumping. There’s also a fitness center for Mom and Dad, and more.For the whole family, “Ahoy Mates!”, climb aboard the Captain Memo’s Pirate Ship for a day at sea. This authentic ship is decked out with pirates ill gotten booty, and a crew of period dressed authentic looking scoundrels.
You will also find an assortment of rental shops offering hourly and day rentals of bikes, scooters, “fun coops”, and much more. An excellent way to get around and work off some of those French-fries.
Try your luck and balance on a Segway, with a tour of the intercostal Waterway, all the way down to the Harbor Marina. Don’t fear, there’s a pre-instruction class that’s mandatory, and before you know it, you’re a pro.
And then there’s “The Sea Screamer”. You’ll see why it’s called that if there are a bunch of teenage ladies sitting behind you on the boat. This 72-foot speedboat is the largest speedboat in the world. It’s screams along at 35 miles and hour propelled by its dual twin-turbo diesel engines.
