Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge

Why go

The refuge is suited to watching habitats and birds at a patient pace. A wildlife drive offers a different kind of outing from a continuous walking route, with opportunities to stop and look. The attraction is an encounter with a functioning wetland landscape rather than a scheduled animal display, so attention to habitat matters as much as sightings.
