We will be visiting Pinellas Park/ Clearwater area end of Dec., and heard of a place to visit that we could see Manatees and would be an all-day thing to do. I can't remember the name of it tho. I was told it is north of Pinellas Park about an hour and 1/2 along the Gulf. Would love for anyone to give us ideas of what to do while we're visiting the area Dec. 26-Jan.3 Thank you
