Looking for your next destination in Florida? Apart from the main attractions like Miami, Orlando, and Tampa, consider exploring the entire length of western Florida.
Home to stunning beaches, family-friendly attractions, and an array of exciting events, Clearwater in west Florida is always a good idea for a trip. Watch the sunsets at Pier 60, visit Clearwater Marine Museum and meet Winter the dolphin, spend the entire day at Moccasin Lake Nature Park, or go boating in Old Tampa Bay or the Gulf of Mexico.
