Beautiful wetlands, for birding can see lots of birds any time of day, but morning is best, they open at 6:30am. Nice easy boardwalk that is about a mile long. I took a bird photography class a couple years ago and the class came here for several days. I have been back many times since. We saw dozens of different types of animals, a cottonmouth snake, marsh bunny, gators big and small, great blue herons, tricolor herons, snowy egrets, great egrets, swamp hens, black bellied whistling ducks, little blue herons. In late January and February there are loads of nesting birds including blue herons, cormorants, anhingas, little blue, tricolor, common moore hens, purple gallinules, ospreys, and hundreds of endangered wood storks, it is really a fantastic place to get great photographs! But parking is limited so often wait in line for a few minutes to get a parking place. Also take water with you, it can get hot.

A great street maybe the best in fla goes all the way to the ocean. Loaded with shops, you name it Atlantic ave has it. Many great restaurants and cafes line both sides of the Ave, it's a foodies delight. Italian, steak houses, Japanese, Chinese, coffee houses, ice cream parlors, this street has it all.

A Japanese cultural history museum.
Reviewed By 429bonniel - Hollywood, United States
These gardens are well maintained and beautiful in all seasons of the year. The museum has a authentic replica of a Japanese Tea room and if you’re there when the tea ceremony is done you’re in for a wonderful learning experience. The museum has different exhibitions so there is something new when you return. The bonsai garden is spectacular- don’t miss it. After you’ve walked through the gardens and worked up an appetite, have a bite to eat at the Cornell Cafe. The food is delicious. It can be very hot in summer, so bring your sunscreen and hat and maybe and go early in the day. They host festivals on some weekends during the year that are a lot of fun for the kids. Check their website for the exact dates. There is an self guided audio tour that you can purchase at the gift shop that explains the different style of Japanese gardens that are within the park. Listening to it as you walk through definitely enhances your visit.

I love this beach! Super clean and often not too crowded. Parking is good and there are showers for rinsing. Great business there to rent chairs and umbrellas.
