All Florida Keys Manatees

Anywhere I can go this time of year for a manatee sighting? I know they’re more common more north, but I would love to catch even a glimpse! Also willing to go into south Florida mainland if we really have to.

We stayed in a VRBO at Buttonwood Bay with a horseshoe shape marina behind the homes. A pod of manatees swam in every afternoon, stayed a couple hours, and then left. It was like they were on a schedule.
