The Ridiculous Otter Opinion: This sanctuary is great for kayakers and paddlers. This is the only EEL sanctuary with a prominently featured water activity, and it is worth it to view a unique side of Brevard County from the water. Wildlife is abundant here; for example, I saw a dolphin passing through the water near the parking lot. It's worth noting that there are plenty of small islands to explore in this area as well.
