There are no high-rise condos......it's like being on the river system again.....land on port and the starboard lined with homes.

In 1903 President Roosevelt set aside Pelican Island as the nation's first "national wildlife refuge." From tiny Pelican Island, the National Wildlife Refuge system is now the world's largest network of managed wildlife lands, spanning over 500 refuges and protecting 94 million acres. Between Biscayne Bay and Hampton Roads the ICW transits through 12 National Wildlife Refuges.
The demand for plumes in ladies' hats put the pelicans in danger
