Popular Manatee swimming and kyaking spot. You need a small boat to get here. Busy place and right next door is 3 sisters spring. This small area is in residential neighborhood only minutes from Pete's pier. You can rent boats there for about $20 an hour. Worth it. The "tours" charge $15-$30 a person and only take you to the murkey waters of kings bay.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife has recently installed cameras and is looking to impose big big fines for those who do not obey the manatee laws. 1. You must have a dive flag to dive this spot. 2. You can not chase or hold down any manatee. If they swim to you, you are allowed to touch them (only place in the USA this is legal to do) but you can not go after them or chase them at ALL. 3. You can not seperate in any way a mother from a child manatee. Right next to this are three small pylons that you can use to get back to three sisters springs, you just have to swim back a small creek to get there. The three sisters next door is actually 3 seperate spring boils that form three connecting pools. Great place for dive training.
