Sea Turtle Nesting Season

May to Oct if you are at beach, sunset and later, you might get lucky. Watch but, do NOT disturb.
Niet te missen

Cereus Cactus blooms

There are some unimpressive cactus, like plants growing up sable palms in the yard and around the city. if you are here in summer and are out past sunset, look for the blooms. They only last one night, but are quite impressive.
Niet te missen

Bioluminescence in the Indian River Lagoon

Summertime kayaking at night, best with no moon. Every movement causes water to light up with plankton that glow.
