Start your first day with a visit to the beautiful Sand Key Beach, where you can sit back and relax on the white sand with a book, or take a dip in the crystal-clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The beach also has plenty of picnic areas and restrooms available.
Take a day trip to Caladesi Island State Park, where you can stroll along nature trails, take a kayak, or paddleboard to explore the waterways and wildlife. The park boasts calm, clear blue waters and clean soft sand on the beach. If you’re feeling hungry, try the available food and snack options at the beach.
Get up close with the incredible marine life and learn about their conservation efforts at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. Take a tour to watch Winter, the famous dolphin without a tail, or take their new water park “CMA’s Adventure Island” to experience water slides and games. The aquarium also features an educational tour to learn about the wildlife and their stories.
Spend the last day at the Honeymoon Island State Park, where you can relax on the beach, go fishing the best day-to-day adventurous activities with the popular sites, where the whole family can enjoy. This park also has a rich wildlife ecosystem that you can see while walking the trails.
If you have more time, try the exciting water sports and paddleboarding at the Clearwater Beach. Visit Tampa Bay for an exceptional sky-high view from Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Observation Tower or visit the local eateries and shops near the beach to complete your day.
If you have less time, consider skipping the Clearwater Marine Aquarium and give an extra day to Sand Key Beach, Caladesi Island State Park, or Honeymoon Island State Park.
