A sunset cruise on a private yacht with a secluded cay at your back and a bottle of bubbly between you and your partner may be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but it's not nearly as out of reach as you may think. The Barefoot Sailing sunset champagne cruise can make your romantic fantasy a reality, while Seahorse Sailing Adventures' sunset dinner cruise takes fine dining offshore. The Bahama Mama sunset dinner cruise is geared toward the convivial couple who want to meet other lovebirds bent on experiencing the best of the open ocean. Barefoot Sailing and Seahorse Sailing Adventures cruises depart from Nassau, and Bahama Mama sets sail from Freeport.

Merritt Island Fl. -- The best place to see wildlife is along the Black Point Wildlife Drive. The 7-mile, one-way drive follows a dike road around several shallow marsh impoundments and through pine flatwoods. This provides an excellent place to see waterfowl (in season), wading birds, shorebirds and raptors. Alligators, river otters, bobcats, various species of snakes, and other wildlife may be visible as well. A self-guiding brochure (available near the drive entrance) will provide information on things to look for. Driving time is approximately 40 minutes.

There is a $10 fee (cash or check) per vehicle for a day pass or you can purchase a yearly pass for $25 at the Visitor Information Center. Duck Stamps, America the Beautiful Passes (annual, senior, and access), and Canaveral National Seashore passes may be substituted for the refuge pass. Photo by Peter W. Cross
