Eye on Travel

Radio Guest List–Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach–August 24, 2013

Here’s the expected about Clearwater & Saint Petersburg: Great white sand beaches. And then there’s the unexpected about these two Florida cities….For starters, there’s the Salvador Dali Museum with one of the best collections of Salvador Dali; Clearwater Marine Aquarium, home to Winter the dolphin — and an amazing story of rehabilitation and technology. Some really great local shops and restaurants, only to be outdone by some really fun catch and cook restaurants that only open when the fish is fresh.

Hear from locals on and off the beach this when Peter Greenberg Worldwide broadcasts from the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa.
