Jamie, thanks so much for the heads up about the shells.. We were coming down to Clearwater about a week after you, so I went out in search of water shoes. They were a foot saver, lol.. We like to stay down not far from the pier but we came up to check out the Dolphin Tale Hotel & we ate there. The beach area is so nice. & We Always go to the aquarium. & out on their Dolphin Boat Ride. Thanks Again for the Info.. 😉👍🏻
There is a parking garage right next to the hotel. It connects to both the Hampton Inn and the Winter the Dolphin Inn. Make sure you go to the bottom floor from the garage and go across to the Winter hotel and not up and to the Hampton...just saying not from any kind of experience lol.
