Ever wanted to witness beautiful mermaids perform underwater? If yes, Weeki Wachee Springs is the answer. It is a natural tourist attraction located at Weeki Wachee, Florida. Is the only city of live Mermaids.
Where women dressed with fins about their legs, floating and swaying the waters depicting what beauty it would really be if there were mermaids. A creating of an ex-navy frogman. Recently celebrated its 60th anniversary.
Thanks, Misha.
