What is a Mermaid? 

A mermaid is a mythical creature that has the head and upper body of a female human and the tail of a fish. These creatures are present in the folklore of many cultures across the globe, including Europe, Asia, and Africa. Mermaids are sometimes associated with dangerous events such as floods, storms, shipwrecks, and drownings. 

Are Mermaids real? 

There is no scientific evidence to prove the existence of aquatic humanoids in the world. However, we have many fairytales and movies about mermaids. In movies and fairy tales, mermaids are often depicted as having magical powers that allow them to manipulate elements and defy the laws of physics. These magical powers may include mind-reading, flying, invisibility, shapeshifting, controlling nature, and many more. 

The Real Story of a Mermaid 

One of the earliest mermaid legends appeared in Syria around 1000 BC when the goddess Atargatis dived into a lake to transform into a fish. Since the gods there wouldn't allow her to give up her great beauty, her bottom half became a fish, while she retained her top half in human form. 

What City is Known for Mermaids? 

Long before Disney World became the hallmark of Florida's tourism industry, there was Weeki Wachee - the City of Live Mermaids. Weeki Wachee has been attracting thousands of roadside visitors and aspiring mermaids from around the world since it opened its doors in 1947. 

This state park, spread over 538 acres and home to the deepest naturally formed spring in North America, is best known for its live Mermaid Shows. In these shows, "half-fish, half-human" performers swim and dance in an underwater theatre built 20 feet below the spring's surface. 

Weeki Wachee was built by a former Navy man named Newton Perry who invented a new way of breathing underwater and taught it to some girls willing to perform while submerged. It takes rigorous training to become a full-fledged mermaid, and candidates from all over the world, including as far away as Tokyo, come to this Gulf Coast destination with hopes of fulfilling their dreams of becoming a mermaid.
