It started with a shared passion for marine life and the environment. Winter the Dolphin’s Beach Club was developed as the first eco-friendly hotel on Clearwater Beach. The hotel, honors the spirit of rescued marine life with Clearwater Marine Aquarium’s most famous rescued resident animal, Winter the Dolphin.  Funds from each room night will go toward animal care, education, research and conservation of marine animals.

This modern, upscale hotel is at the centerpiece of beautiful, bustling Clearwater Beach.
