Spot dolphins cavorting in the water anytime of the year.
Winter is the perfect time to watch the manatees. That’s when these
gentle giants gather in the warm waters of the rivers and inlets into the Gulf.
Several types of endangered sea turtles
will be nesting and hatching on the area’s 35 miles of
beaches from April through November. Florida is the world’s
second largest rookery for Loggerhead sea turtles, and
the St. Petersburg/Clearwater area was home to more than
165 nests and 10,000 hatchlings last year. The Clearwater
Marine Aquarium offers educational “Turtle Walks”
with marine biologists June through August for visitors
and residents who wish to learn more about this endangered
species.
