Nature lovers will thoroughly enjoy this attraction, especially bird lovers. Wakodahatchee was built by the Water Utilities Department as a sanctuary for many species of birds, turtles and small native animals who drop by throughout the year. A three quarter mile boardwalk takes visitors around this beautiful site, where they can observe the wildlife in its natural habitat, possibly catching a glimpse of an alligator down in the water here and there. Free of charge and rarely crowded, Wakodahatchee is a lovely, relaxing escape, suitable for small children all the way up to seniors. Call ahead for hours.
With free admission, free parking and plenty of room for picnics and other family adventures, Gulfstream Park is rarely crowded and easily accessible. With 600 feet of guarded beach with very shallow water, it's a nice place to splash around and stay cool. One of the very unique features of this beach is that it allows pets, and is fondly nicknamed Dog Beach by area dog owners who visit it often. Both saltwater and freshwater fishing are available.
