Real Florida Adventures has gone to great lengths to create a blissful day of sun and sand in the heart of Florida’s gorgeous Gulf Coast. Within the first second you look out at Clearwater Beach, you’ll understand why this area is known as ‘America’s beach’. 

Why Take a Clearwater Beach Day Trip from Orlando?

Clearwater Beach has been getting the blessing of thousands of visitors every year since the 1950s, and it continues to offer Florida’s premier seaside experience, with a seemingly endless expanse of wide, open beachfront to suit every bucket and spade!

Today, Clearwater Beach has developed into a destination for all seasons, loaded with eye appeal. It is a superb family destination in every sense, with lots to see and do. But Clearwater Beach is also the perfect place to just chill and unwind, enjoying all those uncrowded acres of welcoming sugar-white sands.

More Information About Our Clearwater Beach Tour

We will whisk you from Orlando to the coast and set you down in prime beach territory, within easy reach of the gently lapping waves, the many bars and restaurants, the iconic pier, and the beautiful beach walk – a near one-mile stretch of winding promenade that links many of the attractions on Clearwater Beach.

The sea can reach a bathwater-warm 84 degrees, but it is rarely chilly, even in winter, and the soft sand positively invites you to kick back and dig your toes in. Lunch is provided at a classic beachside restaurant, so you won’t miss the view while you refuel with a tasty meal that highlights the local seafood.

While at Clearwater Beach, you are also free to wander this wonderfully eye-catching stretch of beachfront, including the busy Marina (which offers plenty of sea-going delights, including fishing tours and wave-runner rentals), Clearwater Marine Aquarium, and an enticing array of shops and souvenir stores.

There's so much more than simple Clearwater Marine Aquarium Tickets...

When it comes to some of Florida’s great, undiscovered gems, the new-look Clearwater Marine Aquarium in Clearwater Beach is right up there with the best of them. And rightly so. It is a fascinating supporter of marine rescue and rehabilitation.

It shouldn’t be surprising, therefore, that it is one of our highlight tours, offering the chance to enjoy a real in-depth (pun absolutely intended!) experience with this wonderful marine life centre. If you’re looking for a completely different kind of Clearwater adventure, take a look at our Sea Screamer & Clearwater Beach Trip and our Clearwater Pirate Ship Cruise. And if you’re looking for a Floridian experience that gets you and the family out of the sun for a day, then check out our #1 Kennedy Space Center Tour.

The Clearwater Marine Aquarium

A recent $80 million expansion project has created a fresh, new vibe to the Clearwater Aquarium, and visitors are always amazed at just how much there is to see and do here, starting with the rehabilitation work for a great variety of animals — from dolphins to otters — and continuing through a wide range of experiences, exhibits and additional programs.

With the fact this is a working animal hospital, some of the animals can change on a regular basis, but you will always find rehab viewings of sea turtles, dolphins, stingrays, and even sharks, as well as pelicans and the always-playful otters. Some of the animals cannot be released back into the wild, hence they have become ‘mascots’ for the Aquarium.

The Dolphins of Clearwater Aquarium

The big attraction in every sense, though, is the all-new Ruth and J.O. Stone Dolphin Complex, a series of pools and working areas where the centre cares for its complement of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins.

If you’re searching for even more trips and tours during your Florida stay, you might also like to check out our Tours in (and from) Orlando, and our Orlando Private Tours as well!

Florida was a well-known pirate hang-out in the 17th and 18th centuries – both Captain Kidd and Blackbeard were active here – so it makes sense to offer a taste of those buccaneering times on one of our Gulf Coast adventures.

Sailing from the heart of gorgeous Clearwater Beach – within walking distance of many of the attractions and the iconic Pier 60 – Captain Memo’s is tailor-made for a genuine family-friendly two-hour excursion aboard the Pirate’s Ransom.

It all starts with a hearty “Welcome aboard!” from the Captain’s crew before the ship sets sail for the glistening, calm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, where it’s perfectly possible to spot dolphins frolicking along the shore and the views of this eye-catching coastline are positively panoramic. 

Antics on the Pirate Cruise at Clearwater

Every voyage offers the chance to immerse yourself in pirate antics during the two-hour odyssey, which always includes a treasure hunt, face painting, water gun games, story-telling, and dancing for all ages. There are complimentary drinks for all guests – sodas for children, beer and wine for guest pirates 21 and over – and snacks are available for sale.

It’s a complete entertainment package from start to finish, as well as a way just to soak up the sun and enjoy the sea-going vibe, which hits its peak in this part of “America’s Beach.” The cruise is suitable for all ages, and children, in particular, get a huge kick out of it. And, for all its period style, the Pirate’s Ransom is a fully modern vessel built to US Coast Guard requirements.

Right in the heart of this vibrant, three-mile stretch of coastal chic, you’ll find the Clearwater Beach Marina. And, at the centre of the Marina is one of the great waterway experiences Florida can offer – the Sea Screamer. 

The Sea Screamer at Clearwater Beach – The World’s Largest Speedboat

Now, the Sea Screamer at Clearwater Beach is not just the world’s largest speedboat. It’s not even just the most exciting way to feel the sea spray in your face. But it certainly IS the most enchanting all-round experience with the region’s bottle-nose dolphins, who LOVE to play in the wake of this eye-catching speedster. 

With its dual twin-turbocharged engines and specially-designed deep-V hull, the Sea Screamer is the perfect way to roar along the Clearwater coastline and invite the dolphins to leap into its foaming trail as it hits a top speed of 35mph.

The 72ft-long boat is fully Coast Guard licensed and includes comfortable bucket seats, two restrooms, and refreshments, and the one-hour tour will provide plenty of views of the panoramic coast hereabouts, as well as the excitement of powering through the waves at full throttle.

And, after your exhilarating maritime adventure, you still have the fun and enjoyment of ‘America’s Beach’ – voted the No.1 in the country year after year – to revel in for the rest of the day.

Why Take a Day Trip to Clearwater Beach?

Families love the gently-sloping beach and mild waves as they are ideal for children of all ages, while the long Beach Walk promenade offers an enticing array of shops, restaurants and bars, and then you can hit Pier 60 for that iconic Clearwater Beach photograph. Lunch is also included at one of the many beachfront diners, where you can enjoy classic local fare while still in your flip-flops.
