Giant Sea Turtles & fun on Florida Vacation Beaches

Kayak trip on Indian River to see - and sometimes even "pet" - the manatees is a fun afternoon outing close by to Satellite Beach. Kayaks are easy to paddle.

Giant Sea Turtles come up on beach at night and lay about 100 pingpong size eggs in holes they dig just above the high waterline on the beach. There are fines for disturbing nests or using flashlights
or flash pictures when watching them.

Many years ago, we were lucky enough to see a mother Loggerhead Sea Turtle laying her eggs on the beach on a bright night when could see fairly well and we had the boys. They thought it was amazing and built a giant "life size" sea turtle in the sand a couple of days later. It got a lot of attention and even the beach "smoother" tractor guy went around it for several days.
This link goes to a web site with interesting Info links and pictures of various kinds of Sea Turtles - don't miss the Info links on nesting and laying eggs + Migration patterns and the long distances
the giant turtles travel to get back to their place of birth to lay eggs.
Day Trips North to Cape Kennedy Space Center and Merrit Island National Wildlife Refuge.

Partial Day trip up to Cape Kennedy is a "Must See." Entire Cape is a wildlife preserve so alligators and many birds can be spotted along the road side from the tour bus. This picture is a zoomed
version of shuttle on launch pad from a distance.

Booster Rocket on pad at Cape Kennedy. This Photo is from several years ago when you got to get
close to the launch pad on the tour. Generally they keep you much farther away from the Launching Pad and the rockets being prepared for launch these days.

Cape Kennedy - "football field long"+ Saturn V Rocket is laid out horizontally with stages seperated for viewing in large NASA Apollo/Saturn V Exhibit Center. Interesting & educational.

Watched this launch of Explorer Rocket to Mars from beach in front of Las Olas - Satellite Beach Resort in June of 2003 with Kids and Grandkids. Interesting to hear the big noise of launch start about a minute after we could see the launch trail going up.
