6) Time Requirements

5-30 minutes. You just get out of the car.

Experience

You pass a bridge while driving around north parts of Merrit Island and all of a sudden dozens of manatees. Not sure why the hang out here - it's not a spring or anything - but they do. At springs they tend to stick around at night/morning. Here was middle of the day. They also hang out where they are very easy to see.
