  • Over 245 different species of birds
  • Located in a rich estuary
  • See dozens of animals in their natural habitat

Lose yourself in the largest undeveloped mangrove ecosystem in the USA with miles of primordial wetlands. Watch flocks of birds migrate across land and sea, and see alligators and manatees in their natural habitat as you head along the drivable 'safari' trail. Take a pair of binoculars from the visitor centre to help you spy on some of the 220 migratory bird species that are protected in this pristine habitat.
