You’ll enjoy viewing the stunning scenery and learn about the fascinating ecosystem of these unique spaces.
All good things must come to an end, and we’re wrapping up our trip with a bang. In Clearwater Beach, you can take on parasailing, wakeboarding, windsurfing, and many more water sports. This place is great for thrill-seekers or for relaxing on the beach.
