Guide to Clearwater Beach, Florida (the Hotel, the Dolphin Boat Trip, the Desert Island, the Dolphin Rescue Centre and the Travel) from Pearl Escapes 2013, 2014 and 2015

I used to get extremely burnt out in my old job and couldn't even handle finding and booking a hotel, flight or finding out what to do for a break. I thought "Wouldn't it be awesome if someone would write a guide that gave you one perfect escape; the perfect hotel, spa, flight and restaurant." So that's what I did.

I also realised, as I dipped my toe into spas, that there was so much confusing information online about massages and treatments. I started writing my own guide, researching each experience personally.

This mini-guide gives you the Clearwater hotel, two restaurants and a fantastic place for healing, along with ways to get up and close with wild dolphins, as well as a desert island experience and even a spa rumoured to be the original Fountain of Youth.

This guide is a little bit bigger than the escape in a box I dreamt of when I first began Pearl Escapes, but there are so many magical things to see and do in and around Clearwater that I just couldn't help myself.
