The recent hurricanes have impacted our Mermaid Tail Trail, leaving some of our beloved mermaids temporarily displaced. Unfortunately, a few of our shimmering friends are currently unavailable for viewing. However, our team is working diligently to restore and reinstall the displaced mermaids. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Please check back with us for updates on when these magnificent mermaids will return to their posts along the trail.

Lily

A very popular mermaid on Florida’s Adventure Coast, this mermaid has many friends that enjoy her company, including fish, sanderlings, lizards, frogs, and others. A sea turtle appears to be coming out of a cavern, while crabs and various seashells are always nearby. She is frequently seen holding a water lily.
