Horseshoe Reef


I've wade fished horseshoe reef. If it was 4' above the water surface when you were a kid, it may have been an old indian shell midden. there were bunches of those along the coast, many removed for roadbeds in historic times.

The book have pictures of the planned giant hotel, that was never built after the hurricane wiped everything out.

My dad thought it was just a natural reef for a long time, but even as a kid, it was just too perfect for me to believe it.

A few years ago I heard about a reef being donated by the family of a man who died, using some scrap metal and concrete.

So I looked it up somehow on the internet and actually found where the stones were donated and placed by a company probably not long before I was stepping on them in the mid 70s.
