With kids of all ages on board, we embarked not-too-early one morning on a guided eco-tour with Island Boat Lines. Space Coast nature tour- bird on sign
   
From our open-air boat we saw anhingas and other birdlife, and the "footprints" (ripples at the water surface) of a couple of manatees. Space Coast boat tour
