ABOUT US

Dolphin Sands Clearwater Beach is committed to sustainability and community stewardship, ensuring that every stay supports environmental protection and local conservation efforts. From operational practices to guest education, the hotel is designed to balance hospitality with responsibility—inviting travelers to be part of a cleaner, greener Clearwater Beach.

 

IMPACT

Dolphin Sands Clearwater Beach embeds conservation directly into its business model through a transparent nightly $9.95 conservation fee collected from each guest room sold between 2020 and 2025. One hundred percent of these funds are donated to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, supporting marine rescue, rehabilitation, and release efforts.

Environmentally, the property has implemented sea turtle–safe lighting to reduce risks to nesting turtles and installed specialized window treatments to minimize sun glare and lower energy consumption. These measures protect local wildlife while maintaining guest comfort.

Socially and educationally, Dolphin Sands engages guests through clear communication about conservation efforts, onsite signage, and storytelling that connects visitors to local marine protection initiatives—encouraging awareness and responsible travel beyond their stay.
