Clearwater Municipal Marina

If you're driving come early to park and be prepared to pay! If you can find a spot. We paid $50 for the day at 1100 on a Friday in March. Once parked and on foot life was easier. We headed for the pier and had an early lunch at Crabby. I happily found a potabella mushroom sandwich on the menu and a bucket of Crabby's Rum Punch to take the edge off after the drive in. We then took a tour on Little Toot II for Dolphin watching. This hour and a half ride was fun and we did see wild dolphins who swam nearby a joined in for some playful swim. There was a pod with a baby dolphin as well. After the tour we found our way to the beach for a stroll down the most crowded beach I'd ever seen. But the water was nice and the temperatures were wonderful.

The marina was so fun, me and my family went to see dolphins and we saw so many. They had reasonable prices for soda, beer and water. At the end the dolphins followed our wake and were jumping up and down, which was so fun to see. I recommend this a lot.

The beach is absolutely gorgeous—white as snow! It’s a small stretch, about a mile long, with shops and restaurants to explore. The pier has local artisans selling candles, bracelets, and art, which adds a nice touch. Definitely worth checking out!

Cool spot to check out! Nice stores and restaurants in the area. Plus cool boat ride trips you can take.

📍 Clearwater Marina What an amazing spot! Boats everywhere, vibrant atmosphere, and the perfect starting point for a day on the water. On Labor Day it was full of life, sun shining, and pure Florida vibes.
