Guana Nature Preserve

Guana Nature Preserve

There’s nothing more soothing than the sound of waves kissing the shore. With this amazing place, you can hear it all you want. Without the distraction of emails and text messages cluttering your phone, you’ll get to experience the Florida the Native American’s and Settlers only knew.

            Deep along the A1A highway, hidden away from any busy sounds of civilization, is a hidden parking lot. Isolated and unique, this place is very unknown to the common city-goer, which makes this place very rare. If you happen to cross the road and find the boardwalk, you’ll see magnificent and rolling mounds of sand dunes that have been there for generations. Along the wood, there’s a platform that brings you high up into the sky, where one can see the land that once covered all of Florida. For as far as the eye can see these captivating sand dunes stretch across the shore.      

            When you get down to the beach, you are greeted with a steep slope that brings you down to the water. Pieces of broken shells and hundreds of shark’s teeth that found themselves washed up on the beach crunch under your feet and the waves pile around your ankles. It’s truly a perfect place to be alone with your thoughts.
