Next, just Northeast of that, was the Haulover Canal with a manatee viewing area (and Southeast was a Sea turtle area we never got to). There were no manatees to be seen (though locals expected to see them, so they *are* there), but we did catch a few pelicans. I was excited to see them though there were much better sightings of them later on in the trip.
