Sirenia Vista Park, Cape Coral

This is a lovely little park to wander around. There is a circular path around the park, along the canals, with viewing platforms and lots of information boards about the manatees. The park is very well maintained and nicely set out with a large covered seating area, Osprey nesting pole (Complete with Osprey chicks that were visible from the ground when I visited.) and a lovely bookcase with childrens books for children to be able to sit and read in the park. I didn't see any Manatees on either of my visits to the park but both visits were on hot days and it seems I was there too late in the day as according to other people in the park the manatees had been there earlier in the morning. Despite this I really enjoyed my time in the park and saw lots of other wildlife in and around the water.

Great place to launch your kayak. Trail straight across. Brings you over to Micellis on Pine Island. The trip back on the main water way is quick. If you head north from this launch there is another trail with a small portage at the end to bring you back to the main waterway. This is a long one.
