Nature Abounds on the Space Coast

Friday, May 15th, 2009

There are more than 250 square miles of wildlife refuge surrounded by estuaries, the Indian River Lagoon, bird nesting areas and manatee and dolphin homes. Birding and wildlife observers come in droves to The Space Coast.  The country’s most popular birding festival, The Space Coast Birding & Wildlife Festival is held here each January.

Endangered species can be found, including the Bald Eagle.  Visitors can kayak through pods of manatees and dolphins or go deep sea fishing on the ocean.  Sea turtles continually select Space Coast beaches as their top returning nesting areas. Brevard County has an award-winning zoo, the Brevard Zoo.
