Manatees, Alligators, Sea Turtles, Wild Pigs, Dolphins, Bird Watching, Native Plant habitats, Swamps…… That's just a sampling of Florida eco tourism.
Long before Ponce de Leon arrived on the Space Coast, native flora and fauna lived in harmony and abundance throughout the area. There are many ways to view native habitats - on foot, kayak, airboat, skydiving to name a few.
Hike through the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and Erna Nixon Park to see native plants, birds, and wildlife in their natural habitat. Paddle with the manatees at an old timey fish camp near Sebastian Inlet. Go Sky-Diving above the Sebastian River. Stroll the beach at night to see sea turtles laying their eggs. Take an airboat ride through the Old Florida swamps on the Saint Johns River. The list will keep you busy beyond your vacation and leave you wanting for more.
Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge features 140,000 acres with over 1000 plant and 500 animal species, including 16 threatened or endangered mammals. It is one of the world's premier birding sites. The adjacent Canaveral National Seashore features 24 miles of unspoiled Atlantic beach. Watch a sea turtle lay her eggs. Our county wide Environmentally Endangered Lands purchasing program has set aside a variety of beautiful ecosystems including the Enchanted Forest Sanctuary.
