Winter the Dolphin

Everyone has been inspired by thewinter-the-dolphin tale of Winter, the dolphin who was rescued after being caught in a fishing net. Winter lost her tail, but she taught herself to swim using her flippers.

Marine biologists at Clearwater Marine Aquarium collaborated with a company that makes prostheses to craft a new tail for Winter. Trainers have worked with her to teach her how to swim again like a dolphin.

She’ll never be able to return to the wild, but that means that she’ll be here in Clearwater for a long time. Tommy’s on the Beach is just a few minutes from the Clearwater Aquarium.

Come see Winter on your next visit to Florida!

Tommy's Beach House

Hello and welcome to Tommy’s Blog, a new home on the Internet for Tommy’s on the Beach, the Gulf Coast’s favorite “Old Florida” beach house.

We are a family- and pet-friendly guest house right on the pristine sands of Indian Rocks Beach. We’re in the heart of the Tampa Bay area, close to its many attractions, such as Busch Gardens, the Tampa Aquarium, and the Clearwater Aquarium, home to Winter the Dolphin.

But you might just want to sit on the beach and enjoy our own attractions–leaping dolphins and the setting sun. They’re free!
