Clearwater Marine Aquarium!

One of the best attractions in Clearwater is the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. The movie, "A Dolphin's Tale" was filmed here about a dolphin named Winter that was rescued. She lost her tail due to being caught in a crab trap, and learned how to swim again. She also received a prosthetic tail that was formulated just for her to keep her muscles strong. She doesn't need the prosthetic to swim, but they put it on daily to keep the rest of her muscles strong. There is another movie coming out in the fall about another dolphin that was rescued, named Hope. We can't wait to see it! They are a great place that rehabilitates rescued animals and releases them back to the wild if possible. There were several dolphins, sea turtles, river otters, sharks and more!
