After this remarkable hike, you will be forever touched by what Florida travel offers in the way of pristine beaches, waterways, bird watching and landscape.

This hike is for those who avidly walk….it does require stamina. You will wind your way through 11-12 miles of back water trails along the inter-coastal waterway to the sand dunes and beaches of the Atlantic Ocean where loggerhead sea turtles nest from April to November. You will be met with wide vistas of Florida landscape along hammock and pine flatland habitats that have been untouched and unseen for decades.

All of your senses will be kindled as you wind your way through a habitat consisting of 1,000 species of plants and 310 different species of birds. Enjoy being among at least 10 active bald eagle nests and hundreds of manatee lazing during the spring in Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge.
