THE HISTORY
THE HISTORY OF THIS PROPERTY IS REPUTED TO GO BACK TO THE 1700'S WHEN IT WAS USED AS A MANNED SAFE HAVEN WHICH ASSISTED THE TREASURE FLEETS THAT MET THEIR DEMISE ON THE OFF SHORE REEFS WHILE TRYING TO MAKE THEIR TREASURE LADEN VOYAGES FROM SOUTH AMERICA TO EUROPE.

THIS AREA WAS HOME TO SOME OF THE FIERCEST INDIANS IN THE AMERICA'S AND NO WHITE MAN WAS SAFE ALONG THESE SHORES AT THAT TIME.

THERE IS STILL A SUNKEN GALLEON 30 YARDS OFF SHORE WHICH MEL FISHER AND MANY OTHER TREASURE HUNTERS, HAVE DIVED ON AND STILL DO FROM TIME TO TIME.

THE BUILDING ONE OF FLORIDA'S LAST STANDING COASTAL WATCH STATION'S CIRCA 1900. THIS ORIGINAL BUILDING AND LOOKOUT TOWER WERE USED DURING BOTH WORLD WARS.
