South Tropical Trail is an incredibly unique road that runs north-south along a tiny, tiny strip of land that comprises the southernmost point of Merritt Island. Surrounded by the Intracoastal and Banana Rivers, you're never very far away from the water as you ride down this unique residential street.

Merritt Island is a long peninsula surrounded by waters home to wildlife like dolphins and manatees and a nighttime bioluminescent glow of glowing plankton that illuminates the water in bright blue. The southern end has a very tropical feel and can be enjoyed via the South Tropical Trail all the way to Dragon Point.
