In 1954, visionary sugar tycoon Leighton Hulett transformed the land, creating the now-famous St. Francis Bay Canals—a man-made waterway system that connects to the Kromme River and the Indian Ocean.

Dolphins, whales, and over 200 bird species call the area home, making it a paradise for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts.
