Whitewater Bay
 

Whitewater Bay is a large, open body of water that can prove challenging for some boaters.  Strong winds and long distances can make this an arduous paddle for canoes and kayaks.  Navigation can by tricky thanks to the monotony of the mangrove shoreline.  Visitors are encouraged to use NOAA Chart #11433 to assist them in exploring this area.

Manatee and Baby Swimming

Mermaid sightings have been reported by sailors throughout history who often blamed the part-woman, part-fish beings for leading them astray. But folklore experts believe that what those sailors were seeing were not mermaids, but rather air-breathing manatees, or their dugong relatives.
