It was still a bit cool today. We went down to Leffis Key, which is just across from Bradenton Beach on Longboat Key, to walk the Coquina Baywalk. It is a tiny little key that has had the flora all restored to native plants. One should be able to see dolphin, manatee and birds on a good day. This day was not so good. I think it is still early for the manatee to be in these waters. At the top of one small hill, the walk affords a 360 degree view of the area. From Leffis we explored an area of Longboat key that has a marine animal facilities: aquarium, research center, rescue center and a park. One can see Sarasota across the bay. We had lunch at St. Armand's Circle and then window shopped. On the way home we sighted a bald eagle soaring overhead. Pictures of the Coquina Baywalk are at flickr.
