Manatee Viewing Station






While in Florida, we stopped by the Manatee Viewing Station!

The Big Bend Power Station maintains the area, and they do a very nice job. It is free to walk around, and they have a nice gift shop.

Oh, and they have one of my all time favorite tourist souvenir items, a toy made from a mold-a-rama machine!

We actually did not see one manatee, but we still had a great time. In fact, it is just a fun area to take a walk for the heck of it. We did see some cool fish and crabs! Click on the picture of the army of crabs! Thousands of them were running around!

Didn't see a manatee? At the Manatee Viewing Station? Sounds a bit like false advertising, especially when all it did was give you crabs. ;)

It was still a cool place, even without any manatees around. The crabs were everywhere though!
