HERE ARE A FEW OF THE FAVORITE LOCAL SPOTS<br />
IN THE COCOA BEACH AREA FOR VIEWING<br />
MANATEES IN THEIR NATURAL HABITAT.<br />
CANAVERAL LOCK • Mullet Rd., Cape Canaveral<br />
The lock is located just north of the Port Canaveral entrance, not<br />
far from Jetty Park. Early evening and late afternoon are the best<br />
viewing time for wildlife. Boat cruises are available through the<br />
Canaveral Locks and the scenic waterways of the area. Along the<br />
way you can observe dolphins, manatees, alligators and a variety of<br />
native birds from your tour boat.<br />
MANATEE SANCTUARY PARK • 701 Thurm Blvd., Cape Canaveral<br />
Located right by the Radisson at the Port Resort, Manatee Sanctuary<br />
Park is a hidden treasure for viewing manatees, dolphins and birds<br />
up close. Surrounded by mangroves and plants, you will find a lovely<br />
cove where the manatees like to sun.<br />
MANATEE COVE PARK • 4905 N. Tropical Trail, Merritt Island<br />
This is one of the best places on the east coast to see manatees.<br />
Keep on the look-out for egret, heron, pelicans and osprey.<br />
