Manatee Park in Ft Myers is excellent if you've had a few cool days.
Manatee Park bay / waterway.
Yes. Polarized glasses take the glare from the sun away and allows you to see more under water
Main park is good. If you take fishing glasses you can see below the surface better
They have multiple viewing areas. Some have more manatees, but all are good.
On the path where there is a covered viewing area. I recommend taking binoculars.
Have been going to Manatee Park for over 20 years even before it becoming a Lee County facility. I think the best place is the lagoon or cut that is closer to the Orange River. I think this is the location can get closest to the manatees. That close can really appreciate how large they are and at the same time how peaceful and slow they are. Will also see young ones and unfortunately scars from boat propellers.

Polarized glasses for sure and the BEST view is going to be on the water from a kayak that you can rent from the visitors center at Manatee Park or bring your own.

Today is January 17, 2022. Are there a lot of manatees there now because it is chilly weather?
