Swim with the dolphins and take in the sights at one of Florida's oldest attractions.
Marineland is south of our condo on A1A about 10 minutes away.
On your way there look for a free ferry to Ft. Matanzas a national historic site. You will find this on the intracoastal side of A1A. It is just before the Matanzas inlet, almost directly across from Summerhouse codominiums.
This is an exciting adventure, and it is not as expensive as other dolphin experiences.

This is a local favorite. Enjoy good food and service. You can eat outside or inside. Nice ocean views upstairs outside.
My favorite is the Asian salmon salad, but they offer a wide variety of coastal and American dishes .

This is a unique experience. The distillery tour is free and very interesting. It ends at the gift shop which offers complimentary tastings and a variety of items for purchase.
The restaurant and bar are a perfect place to stop and enjoy a bite and a drink. All served by wait staff in period dress. Always a good place to stop on a hot day.
