Travel Guide

Hundreds of manatees in Apollo Beach. The photo shows a momma and her baby. They come to the warmer cooling water from the TECO power plant for colder winter weather months in southwest Florida.

A good spot if you want to see Manatees in the water and pollution in the air!
Manatee viewing Center. What a great spot. So many manatees in one spot. Beautiful park to walk around. Highly recommend.
Beer Can Island on Longboat Key is lined with mangroves and parts of the beach are riddled with their stumps. It's an awesome place to go exploring, shelling, and wildlife watching!
