Clearwater Highlights

20 miles south west of Tampa, 84 miles south west of Orlando  

Every type of aquatic recreation is available in the Gulf beaches region that encompasses Clearwater and St Petersburg. Jetskis, parasailing, boating, sailing, deep sea fishing.... its all here.

Ample opportunities exist for hiking, biking, birding and other nature-based activities.

For a slice a Florida history, visit the Don CeSar Beach Resort which started life as a luxury resort in 1928, became a hospital and convalescent home for the US Army, was abandoned, and has once again been restored to its former glory.

The Clearwater Marine Aquarium is dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of marine mammals such as sea turtles, otters, sharks and stingrays. There are  usually more than 500 sea and land birds living at Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary, ranging from cormorants, herons, and eagles to the common pelican.

Caladesi State ParkThis is also the site of the the nation's largest wild-bird hospital, dedicated to the rescue, repair, recuperation, and release of sick and injured wild birds.

Caladesi Island State Park, located on a 3.5 mile (5 km) long island north of Clearwater Beach, has one of Florida's top beaches. It's not uncommon to have dolphins playing offshore. 

The park has a nature trail and wildlife sightings are common. Caladesi Island is accessible only by ferry from Honeymoon Island State Recreation Area.  The Pinellas Trail stretches 47 miles (76 km) from St. Petersburg to Tarpon Springs and is a favorite walking trail.
