If you liked Manatee Sanctuary Park, just keep going north like 3-4 minutes by car (or a little longer if you’re walking) and you can find Banana River Park. It is basically the next little spot up the road on the same side of the river. The day I visited it was not busy and was clean. They’ve got a cute little dock on the north end where I stood when i visited and watched a couple manatees swimming within about 30 feet of the dock for easily a quarter of an hour. There’s a big open soccer field up on the north end but just south of the little dock. It has actual goals if you ever feel like kicking a ball around. There is structure at the south end in front of the parking lot with bathrooms and a few tables that is open on 3 sides facing teh water and the park. It’s a really nice park, but there’s no real trail or long walkway along the water like at Manatee Sanctuary. It’s more just grass, a few benches, and that dock. So if you’re in the mood for a longer walk or that covered boardwalk vibe, stick with Manatee Sanctuary. But if you just wanna park, walk 30 seconds to the dock, and probably see manatees hanging out, Banana River Park is awesome for that. I’d hit both in the same morning!
