What are those long, thin stalks atop the sand dunes? That's a grass called Sea Oats, a native Florida resident!

Sea Oats can grow up to 8 feet tall and two feet wide, withstand hurricane-force winds, and survive salty storm surge. Their roots reach up to 40 feet underground, helping to keep the sand in place-- like a net holding it all together! Their seeds are also a food source for local wildlife.

Sea Oats are a critical species and are protected by the state of Florida-- don't cut them or try to harvest the seeds. Like much of Florida's wildlife, they're best enjoyed from a distance.

Stay where manatees play! Kimberly and her family were lucky enough to spot manatees during their last vacation at Sunrise Resort:

"We stayed here for 3 nights, it was great. We saw a mom and two baby manatees off the deck in the back of the property. I'd stay here again."

Q: How can I see a manatee? A dolphin?

A: The best way to see wild dolphins is to get out on the water! Companies like Hubbard's Marina run dolphin eco-tours daily (weather permitting).

You can also see them along the shore, especially near seawalls. Visit the St. Pete Pier or Vinoy Park and keep a close eye out for the iconic triangular dorsal fin!

For guaranteed dolphin viewing, you can support conservation with a trip to Clearwater Marine Aquarium.

Winter is the best time to come to Florida to see manatees.

Despite their size, they have very low body fat. This means they get cold easily! They huddle together in warmer, shallower water as the Gulf cools.

If you have the ability, visit the Manatee Viewing Center in Apollo Beach-- a FREE experience where you are most likely to see the most manatees, as well as fish and other wildlife. It's open to the public from November to mid-April.

It's critical to remember that both dolphins and manatees are protected species in Florida. It's against the law to interact with them in the wild, including feeding, touching, or chasing them.
