Extended Stay - Get to know the natives

They say to really appreciate a place, you need to spend time with the natives. And nothing let's you do this more than a Marine Life Adventure offered by The Clearwater Marine Aquarium. This special program can extend for four full days of studying and interacting with the marine life of your choice. There's a variety of research projects to choose from for virtually any level, from counting scallops to tagging sharks. The staff at the aquarium can also customize a program that fits your group's needs and interests. It's a great learning experience for the whole family. And best of all, you'll be helping to preserve the area's precious marine environment.

Try this adventure near the beginning of your stay for an insider's look at our area. During your field trips you'll get a chance to play, explore and relax on some of the best beaches, bays and barrier islands in the area, and you may discover some hideaways that you'll want to revisit later on your own. You'll also be able to apply your knowledge for the remainder of your trip when you encounter marine life again - a sure thing on Florida's Beach.
