Clearwater is located west of Tampa, and is part of the Tampa-Saint Petersburg-Clearwater metropolitan area. In Clearwater you can enjoy gorgeous sunsets at Pier 60, and nightly festivals featuring music, crafts and street performances. Don’t forget to stop by the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, the home of Winter, star of the Dolphin Tale movies. Winter is a symbol of courage, perseverance and hope-and the aquarium is the only place where you can see her. Need to catch a plane?
