Yes, lovers, I'm talking about Pelican Island, a secluded paradise where you'll spy the thousands of species inhabiting the brackish Indian River Lagoon, including the federally protected green sea turtle, Florida manatee, wood stork, and state-protected threatened species like the reddish egret and tricolor heron. 

The upland habitat is also home to gopher tortoises, bobcats, snakes, mangroves, live oaks, and gumbo limbo. 

And if you're lucky, you might even chance upon glorious marine life, like dolphins!

Aside from wildlife spotting, you can go for a refreshing swim in the bay, play a game of volleyball on the sandy court, or enjoy a picnic using the onsite barbecues.
