Winter the Dolphin’s Beach Club
655 South Gulfview Blvd
Clearwater Beach, FL 33767

Welcome to our newly reimagined oasis in Clearwater Beach, Florida — America’s No. 1 Beach. Inspired by Winter the Dolphin, star of the famed Dolphin Tale movies, our hotel is both family-friendly and eco-friendly. Meet rescued marine animals through our alliance with Clearwater Marine Aquarium, home of Winter and her friends. Relax in nautical surroundings featuring a fun, ocean-inspired theme inside, while a stunning pool and pristine beach await you outdoors.
Please note that our doors are open to the public after Hurricane Helene, but due to experiencing exterior flooding, our pool will be closed and restoration teams will be onsite helping repair all damages. We apologize for guests who may experience inconveniences because of this.
