During Spring and Summer, you may or may not see any manatees there.

Everything Else
If you're visiting from July 1 through Sept. 24, you might want to go scalloping in the Gulf. It's a lot of fun to search the eel grasses for these tasty critters! There are plenty of local charters who will take you out snorkeling for the day. Most will shuck your catch at the end of the day. Then you can grill them up later for dinner. Some local restaurants will cook them for you as well.
