Fond memories of this one, the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, opened in 1972 at 249 Windward Passage , The aquarium is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and release of sick and injured marine animals, public education, conservation, and research. The aquarium is most famous for Winter the dolphin. Rescued as a calf in 2005, Winter was one of the first dolphins to have been fitted with a prosthetic tail after losing it due to entanglement in a crab trap.

A bit of history tell us that the territories that form the city were inhabited by the Tocobaga people. In 1835 the United States Army began the construction of an advanced fort during the Seminole indian wars, which was called Fort Harrison, in honor of William Henry Harrison, the ninth president of the United States, During the American Civil War, Union gunboats repeatedly raided the community’s supplies, as most of the able-bodied men were away fighting for the Confederate Army, Clearwater was incorporated in 1891, In 1915, a bridge was built across Clearwater Harbor, joining the city with Clearwater Beach to the west. Clearwater Beach, although located on a separate barrier island, belongs to the city of Clearwater and fronts the Gulf of Mexico , During WWII, Clearwater became a major training base for US troops destined for Europe and the Pacific. Virtually every hotel in the area, including the Belleview Biltmore and the Fort Harrison Hotel, was used as a barracks for new recruits , The name “Clear Water” is thought to have come from a fresh water spring flowing from near where the old City Hall building was located. There were many other freshwater springs that dotted the bluff, many in the bay or harbor itself.

There you go folks, a road warrior guy in my dear State of Florida, nostalgia sets in and lucky to be able to share it with the world, The beautiful coastal beach areas that still rings a bell to my ears on each stretch of meter I take on this world. Again,hope you enjoy the post on this is Clearwater/Clearwater Beach !!! as I.
And remember, happy travels, good health, and many cheers to all !!! This is Clearwater/Clearwater Beach !!!
I am back at you with my dear Florida, Again, found me an older paper picture that was mix in with another post and decided this area City deserves a post of its own, It is here for the memories of always, and family nearby now. This is a marvel beautiful area that should be visited more me think, Therefore, here is my take on this is Clearwater/Clearwater Beach !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.
The City of Clearwater Beach is on a barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico in Pinellas county, of the State of Florida, USA, Located west of the Intracoastal Waterway by way of the Clearwater Memorial Causeway from the rest of the City of Clearwater, of which it belongs, It is known for by the white sand beaches stretching 4 km (2,5 mi) along the Gulf of Mexico, It is about 30 km (20 mi) from the Tampa International airport and 40 km (25 mi) from downtown center of Tampa, The way we used to come was from Ormond Beach and we took the I-4 expressway towards Tampa ,here get on the expressway 275 direction St Petersburgh but turn right into SR 60 direction Clearwater Beach and go over the W Courtney Campbell Causeway bridge go all the way passing another bridge the Clearwater Memorial Causeway into Clearwater Beach , All gorgeous ride over water, We love the road warrior rides into it !! My recollection tells me our fav parking was the municipal marina at 25 Causeway Blvd, The full services marina is linked on the south by a short bridge to another barrier island called Sand Key ; where there is surfing and beach at Sand Key park. A wonderful spot of many family gathering over the years ! Memories forever.
My favorite place to walk on was around the City marina, It’s like a shopping mall for water sports. Go on to Coronado Drive and into the Pier 60, quiet in the waking hours with the studied casting of early anglers and the awkward begging of big-footed, big-mouthed pelicans. By sunset, the quiet will have dissipated to the festive strains of musicians, the chatter of artisan vendors, the giggle of children on the playground, Just laidback real Florida living away from the big crowds of the eastern seaboard , Pier 60, at 7 Causeway Blvd is ideally located on world-renowned sparkling beach. It is one of the best-equipped and most attractive fishing piers in Florida. It offers access to fishing activities, fine dining, shopping, entertainment and outstanding white sandy beaches.Also, music festival , artisanal showcase from many artists, Clearwater Beach has consistently been ranked best beach by various organizations and has garnered a reputation as an ideal vacation destination for people of all ages from all around the world. Clearwater Beach was just named the No 1 Beach in the South by USA Today, and has been named America’s No. 1 Beach several times in recent years. Travel + Leisure’s list of The 14 Best Beaches in Florida in 2021. If Clearwater Beach were a person, they’d be a sunkissed, energetic beach lover who’d never met a stranger. This active, social beach is likely to be bustling when you visit from morning walkers to mid-day beach volleyball games. With its soft, sugar-white sands and clear blue-green waters, it’s no wonder this beach was named Tripadvisor’s No 1 Beach in the USA in 2019, 2018 and 2016.
