The 5 Best Day Trips from in Clearwater, Florida (FL)

December 17, 2021 Leida Jutras

Home to some of the best beaches in America, Clearwater is a great family beach destination. Sure, it’s in Florida, but it’s not Giant Rodent Florida (a.k.a. Orlando) or Crazy Spring Break Florida (a.k.a. Fort Lauderdale). Rather, it’s Calm, Old-Fashioned Florida… which is something worth seeing. Oh, and the weather’s outstanding.

The airboat ride was a blast, our boat pilot controlled the boat like a real vet. I had no idea that these boats were so quick and nimble. The zoo was a nice surprise and the facility was well organized and well kept.

We leave Central Florida and travel along the interstate passed Tampa to the Gulf of Mexico. Once at the beach you will have until 12.45 to stroll down the pier or beach, perhaps grab lunch (. joining your afternoon Deep Sea Fishing cruise from the marina. Boat departs at 1pm and it is a 4 hour long cruise. The fishing grounds are around 10 miles from the dockside, so typically this takes between 45mins- 1hour to travel there. If you haven’t fished before do not fear, we have a friendly crew onboard that can definably help you. Ask the deckhand for pointers during the cruise out to the fishing grounds and make the most of your fishing time. Usually the boat makes 2 -3 stops but it depends on how the fish are co-operating! We catch Grunts (Snapper family), Sea Bass and the occasional Grouper. In warmer months we have caught species of shark. If you want to keep the catch, the crew will ice it for you, and don't forget a cooler for the journey back!

Inclusions: Driver/guide, Hotel pickup and drop-off (selected hotels only), Deep Sea Fishing cruise to include rod, reel, bait, tackle and license, Lunch at a local restaurant if you book that option, Parking Fees, Air-conditioned vehicle

Exclusions: Gratuities, Food and drinks, Dockside Cleaning of Caught Fish

Experience and explore waters of Clearwater Beach and Caladesi Island State Park. Always a short distant and boat ride to great fishing in Clearwater Bay. Enjoy fishing one of the most popular and unique ecosystem found within downtown. Fishing is great all year round, and there is such diversity of nearshore, island hoping and backcountry fishing for Black Drum, Redfish, Cobia, Trout and Jack Crevalle depending on the season. Even on windy days, there are plenty of places to fish, in the Bay, you can fish one of the many barrier islands, and hundreds of miles of backcountry water shoreline, making this an experience, not just another fishing trip. Travelers and Visitors of Clearwater Beach also enjoyed the Clearwater Marine Aquarium or experience in the Boeing 737 Flight Simulations or even an awesome game at Spectrum Field.

I would like to thank Liz in the office, and especially Capt. Tim Nichols for a very enjoyable fishing trip to Alligator Alley the fish for Peacock Bass. Mr. Nichols was very professional and knowledgeable, and very accommodating to my needs. It's the most fun I had on my Florida trip! Again, I would like to thank all that made this possible. Yours truly Doug Hill.
