Learned more of the history of this area of Florida. Especially enjoyed the restored home and excellent narrative provided by volunteer hostess.

The turtle mound historic site is little more than a hump of seashells covered in vegetation. I presume it is of importance for nesting turtles, however we didn't see any. It was a quaint drive along the ocean, but I wouldn't make a special trip to go see it.

We loved the beautiful hiking trails and the amazing shell mounds. We saw several tortoises, wild orange trees, many butterflies, and miles of pristine beach. Nice way to spend a few hours.

Easy to find and get to and a descriptive sign to boot. Picnic area as well near the water.Parking is convenient as well

There are historic buildings and nature viewing boat trip that we were not able to get on, but sounded cool. You have to pay National Park admission, but there are discounts for seniors and disabled.

If you are a history buff you will enjoy this and even if you're not, there is a lot of information of the area

Turtle Mound is in the Canaveral National Park outside of New Smyrna Beach, FL. You can take a short stroll on a boardwalk and visit the Indian mound grounds. You can also fish or picnic at this area as well.

This attraction is a must for children of all ages! The educational center is full of real life exhibits.....and the film is wonderful, very informative , and beautifully done! We've been here many times and it never gets old or stale. The park is gorgeous and we always see lots of wildlife.
