I will be vacationing there and I want my significant other to see the beautiful manatees. Last year for vacation I stayed in Palm Bay and saw them for the first time.
I don’t mind if it is off the beaten path!
Thanks!
Where is the best place to see manatees around Tampa?

Manatees in the wild usually hang around the giant discharge pipes of the power companies, which have extra warm waters. During the summer, they tend to disperse because the warm water is everywhere.
The best viewing area around Tampa is the discharge pipe for Tampa Electric, but it’s closed until November.
Here’s a link that might give clues to other viewing locations…
