The placid waters of these magnificent islands are the best place to witness Florida’s famous and iconic manatees, sometimes known as sea cows.
Why Kayak with Manatees in Cocoa Beach?
Cocoa Beach’s Thousand Islands are ideal for manatee sightings. These slow-moving giants glide around the surface or graze on underwater flora in calm, mild waters. The peaceful, mangrove-lined rivers are ideal for kayaking and connecting with nature.
A Gentle Encounter with Florida’s Gentle Giants
Friendly and interested manatees often approach kayaks to say hello. A subtle ripple in the water or a nose peeking up for breath while kayaking through the mangroves are obvious evidence of a manatee. Sharing the water with these delicate creatures is calm and awe-inspiring.
What Time of Year Can You See Manatees?
Cocoa Beach has manatees year-round, but the best time to watch them is late spring to early fall. The Thousand Islands’ shallow, warm seas attract manatees during these months, making it easier for kayakers to see them.
