About this Spring
A first-magnitude spring forming a broad, semicircular turquoise pool (about 200 by 175 feet) over white sand, considered among the clearest water in the region, water emerges both from a broad limestone-shelf boil and from a separate roped-off vertical cave vent, a designated critical manatee habitat and popular winter manatee-viewing site, drive right up with swimming, snorkeling, and canoe rentals.
