Bridgewater Crossing has plenty to offer you for those days off of the 'parks', with a huge amount of wildlife including Sand Cranes, Snapper Turtles, Eagles, Snakes, Racoons and of course the Alligators. With a 45 acre lake (fishing allowed), Nature Trails, Biking, Picnic Area with Barbeque, Lighted Basketball courts, Volleyball court, Tennis court & a Heated Community Pool theres always something to do. Cocoa Beach and the Gulf coast are both about 50 minutes drive and well worth a visit, as are the numerous shopping outlets which are between 10-20 minutes drive away. There are several beautiful national parks which include large lakes, some of which you can go on an air boat to see the alligators.
