It’s about to split! We don’t have much sand left in this little gap. What’s it going to take to open this pass? Are we just a few spring high tides away or will a tropical storm do the trick? Send in a few pictures if you’re there after it happens. We’re just weeks or maybe months away from the official split of the walking beach Honeymoon Island ranked among the best beaches in the country.
This summer a vetern’s memorial was placed in about 40 feet of water 10 miles off Clearwater Beach at Veteran’s Reef. The life sized statues include service members from the air force, marines, navy, army, and the coast guard, all 5 branches of the military. Today you can take a boat out to the veteran’s reef located at Veterans Reef, (N 28° 03.000′) (W 83° 00.750′). There you can find the three barges, two plaques honoring veterans, and the Circle of Heroes memorial.
