The Dunes at Ponce de Leon Inlet, Volusia County, Florida

















Well my fellow infidels, it's taken me hours to get through all my emails. So here is a post of the dunes at the beautiful beaches at Ponce de Leon Inlet. This is originally called the mosquito coast and mosquito inlet. The early residents of this part of Florida, mainly those who ran the Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse, learned that the salt marsh mosquito rules the coast.

These beaches are amazing at the inlet. Undisturbed dunes as it is supposed to be. Unfortunately, just blocks north of the dunes, development is creeping its way in. More beachfront condos; just what we need. These friggin idiots buying on the beach will have nothing but sand when the next big storm blows through. By my accounts, I don't think anyone will even write windstorm coverage for these people. At least these beaches on the inlet point (north side of the inlet) are on a public park so that we and others may enjoy them.
So for you folks whose only view of a beach is ocscured by condos, take a drive up to the space coast and visit the inlet (as well as the Canaveral National Seashore) and take a look back at what Florida used to be like.
Ciao infidels.
