Visit Clearwater Marine Aquarium
Welcome to Clearwater Marine Aquarium where you can experience the world of marine life rescue! Meet rescued dolphins, sea turtles and other resident marine animals while learning about our conservation efforts to protect vital species in the wild, like the threatened Florida manatee and the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale. Located less than a mile from Coachman Park, Downtown Clearwater and the sugar sand shores of Clearwater Beach, our waterfront location provides beautiful bay views, educational presentations and daily eco-boat tours to discover local wildlife.
100% of the net proceeds generated from your visit goes directly to supporting our mission of rescue, rehab and release of marine life, and the long-term care of our resident animals.
