Manatee Watching at Big Bend Power Plant

Event Location: South Hillsborough County
Street: Big Bend Road
City, State, Zip: Apollo Beach, FL
Phone: 813-228-4289

Notes:
As the water cools in the Bay, sea cows are drawn to the warm water 
discharging from the Big Bend Power Plant. When the water temperature 
drops below 68 degrees, dozens of manatees will crowd into the inlet to 
keep warm. 

This Viewing Center is FREE to the public and is staffed with 
volunteers who can talk about manatees and point out regulars. Admission and 
parking are FREE; donations are accepted. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m 
daily, except on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. 
Location: Tampa Electric Co. Manatee Viewing Center
