Resident Bottlenose Dolphins -
approximately 1,032 Atlantic bottlenose dolphins live permanently in the IRL, 93% never leaving the estuary. They can be spotted hunting along the Sunrise Village shoreline, particularly in the early morning.
Bioluminescence -
during summer and fall evenings, the lagoon glows brilliant blue-green from dense populations of bioluminescent plankton. Night kayak tours are available locally. Peak season is June through October, best on moonless nights.
Sea Turtles & Manatees -
the lagoon region attracts some of the highest numbers of nesting sea turtles in the western hemisphere. West Indian manatees are frequently spotted in the warmer months.
Boating & Fishing -
the shallow seagrass beds provide critical nursery habitats for game fish, making Port St. John a premier inshore fishing destination. The PSJ Public Boat Ramp at 6650 N. Cocoa Blvd is minutes from Sunrise Village — free, 2-lane, 40 parking spots.
Estuary of National Significance -
the IRL is designated by the EPA as an Estuary of National Significance and an Outstanding Florida Waterway. Brevard County contains 71% of the lagoon's total surface area.
Kayaking & Paddleboarding -
the calm, shallow waters make the lagoon ideal for non-motorized water sports. Access points including Parrish Park (north) and Ketcham Park (south) offer additional launch options.
