If there is one thing that is constant, it is change. Science tells us that the barrier islands along our coast formed about 4,000 years ago. Since that time, they have been constantly shifting, changing, and evolving. The barrier islands of our coast are in constant flux. These changes come from forces of nature like hurricanes, no-name storms, and king tides. They also come from waterfront inhabitants. The Calusa and Tocobaga left behind shell mounds. Cuban fishermen constructed ranchos. Each era of inhabitants affects the waterfront with the ways they use the water, the land, and the things they build. We can see the evidence in our stories, maps, structures, and especially in photographs. These records bear testament as each generation of “old-timers” recounts fondly what things were like with the statement, “I remember when...” We hope you will enjoy these images of our waterfront Then and Now.
