Manatee Lagoon

Manatee Lagoon is a free eco-discovery center near West Palm Beach where visitors can observe Florida manatees in their natural warm-water habitat. Located along the Lake Worth Lagoon near the FPL power plant, the site is one of the best places in all of South Florida to spot these gentle marine mammals, especially during the cooler winter months when manatees congregate in the warm discharge waters. The center features educational exhibits about manatee biology, conservation efforts, and the broader ecosystem of the Intracoastal Waterway. It's an exceptional, free family experience that connects visitors to South Florida's most beloved wildlife.
