About this place
Black Point Wildlife Drive is a 7-mile one-way scenic drive through the heart of Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. The route passes through impounded marshes that attract huge numbers of wading birds, ducks, and shorebirds, especially in winter. Bring binoculars — alligators, roseate spoonbills, and herons are commonly seen.
