ATTRACTIONS

he elements of nature—water, sunshine, wildlife and a variety of ecosystems—have inspired such unique attractions to enchant visitors that the locals love them just as much. Who can resist getting up close and personal with a curious manatee or a show-off pod of dolphins from the seat of a personal watercraft? What better way to navigate the mysteries of the mangroves and barrier islands than by canoe or kayak or silent pontoon boat, with a native guide who not only knows where the roseate spoonbills and gators hang out, but can call the wild ones in their own language? Is there anything more exhilarating in the Everglades than a wild and noisy airboat ride, or a perfectly soundless parasail glide? Closer to terra firma, there are boardwalks to stroll through thousand-year-old cypress swamps, and botanical gardens to ooh and aah over lush greenery and exotic flowers. We have a planetarium and the Imaginarium and the Smallwood Store, a faithfully preserved Indian trading post. We have sunset dinner cruises and shelling cruises, and lunch trips to Cabbage Key, which the locals adamantly defend as Jimmy Buffet’s inspiration for his song Cheeseburger in Paradise. And there’s more. ...
