WHY IT’S SPECIAL Gulf coast beaches are calm and gradually sloped, but also offer parasailing, speedboats and jet skis. Downtown, at BayWalk and the Pier, you’ll find free outdoor concerts, restaurants and shops.
GREAT ADVENTURES Visit the Clearwater Marine Aquarium and take a Sea Life Safari cruise led by a marine biologist. You’ll get a hands-on look at puffer fish, stingrays and sea squirts (adults, $19; children, $12.25).
SIDE TRIP Crave more extreme thrills? Then head east to Busch Gardens in Tampa and conquer the splashy new SheiKra dive coaster, with a 200-foot, 90- degree plunge (adults, $57.95; children, $47.95).
