Winterhaven Park

Reviewed By teacher152015 - Lexington, United States

This is truly a treasure we found on our trip to Ponce Inlet. There is a small but uncrowded beach area with restrooms, shower, grills, and picnic tables. The inlet water, sand, lush greenery, and view of the lighthouse in the distance add to the beauty of this site. Access is free to pedestrians. There is plenty of parking but cars are not allowed on the beach in this area. It is a very short walk from the park to the ocean side beach and jetty. This is a very family friendly spot.

Marine Science Center

At the Marine Science Center our main goal is rescue, rehabilitation and release of sick and injured turtles and birds. You can see our sea turtle patients from the turtle terrace and get a behind the scenes view through the hospital viewing window. In the gallery, guests will also take a journey through Florida marine ecosystems discovering the animals that are indigenous to this area. A hands-on experience awaits you at our stingray and invertebrate touch tanks. Explore the nature trail and climb the observation tower for views of the estuary. Don't forget to walk through the Mary Keller Bird Sanctuary. Here you will see our permanent resident birds that can no longer live in the wild. We offer daily animal education presentations where you will experience up close views of raptors and reptiles. Call for daily presentation times.

If you have young kids or even teenagers, this is a nice, educational opportunity to experience some marine life like sea turtles and sting rays, lion horses , an octopus and other kids of fish. This rehabilitation center is very fun to learn about how the center rehabs these animals. The kids also get to feed them with the assistance of the workers . Great experience and the cost is a bargain! $5 for adults and $2-3 for children. The venue is small , can get crowded at times, parking is a bit challenging to find , a small gift shop also; otherwise a must go even for adults. I’d give it a 4.5 star out of 5 only bc of parking.
