Holiday cheer is coming early this year a yuletide pop-up bar known as “Miracle” at  Death or Glory Bar in Delray Beach will be open through the end of the year.

The temperatures have cooled in Palm Beach County and the manatees are back in our warm shallow waters.  The warmer water provides the ultimate opportunity to meet one of our most-loved residents, the Florida manatee. The loved “sea cows” are massive marine mammals that live in the coastal waters of Florida.

Manatees have earned the reputation as gentle giants.  They are large, slow-moving marine mammals with an elongated, round body and paddle-shaped flippers and tails. Manatees are herbivores, feeding solely on seagrass, algae, and other vegetation in freshwater and estuarine systems in the southeastern United States.  Manatees on average weigh up to 1,000 pounds and up to ten feet in length.
