shoreline walk at dawn ~ Hope you aren't getting tired of this long
series. It was my intention to get a 'nice set' from this great spot on
the NE coast that we have visited on this exact day, July 5th, for the
last five years while we do our annual visit to this historic Florida town.
We love this very beautiful beach more and more as the years go by...

**********************************************************
Ponce de Leon claimed Florida for Spain in 1513. (Christopher Columbus discovered North America in 1492 but actually landed in the Bahamas). Other Spanish explorers later found gold and silver in Mexico and Peru. The treasure was sent back to Spain in ships sailing in the Gulf Stream. Spanish settlements needed to be built in Florida to protect the Spanish Treasure fleets. King Phillip II of Spain sent Pedro Menendez to settle in Florida and drive out French garrisons recently established there. In September 1565, Pedro Menendez with 700 soldiers and colonists landed here and founded St. Augustine making it the oldest continually occupied European settlement in North America ~ Treasure Coast ~ NE Florida ~ Saint Augustine Inlet
