Even Ponce de Leon is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day! The Spaniard credited with being the first European to visit (and name) Florida is believed to have first visited our island in 1513, setting an example for its nearly two million annual visitors today. Legend has it he later, in 1521, suffered what would become his fatal arrow wound just off our beach.

Myers Beach in them may mean that you never plan to leave.
