Nature enthusiasts will find Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge to be a treasure trove of biodiversity. The refuge, which shares a boundary with the Kennedy Space Center, is a sanctuary for a variety of wildlife, including migratory birds, sea turtles, and the endangered West Indian manatee. With a range of habitats from coastal dunes to saltwater estuaries and hardwood hammocks, it offers exceptional opportunities for birdwatching, hiking, and photography.
For those who love water activities, Merritt Island's location between the Indian River and the Banana River provides ample opportunities for boating, fishing, and kayaking.
