2015 02 15 West Palm Beach Toy Box and Playpen

Students and certified divers visit the Toy Box just off West Palm Beach, Florida.

Toy Boy is a large barge sitting perpendicular to the current in 60 feet of water.

The Dive Master said Goliath Groupers and the occasional bull shark frequent this wreck. They did spot some of these including barracuda but unfortunately the cameraman was not in that area at the time.

Following the wreck is the Playpen, an artificial reef composed of concrete culverts and telephone poles.

Divers always report schools of colorful tropicals, Angel and Parrot Fish and droves of spiny lobsters.

Park & Ocean

Park and Ocean formerly BG Coco Cafe Outdoor Center, is a short walk from beachside shops and condominiums, this park is an oasis of tropical hammocks-a gift from Hugh Taylor Birch to Florida’s posterity. His former estate preserves four distinct natural communities, nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. Visitors can rent a canoe and paddle along a mile-long freshwater lagoon or fish from the seawall. Nature lovers can hike along two short trails and learn about local plants and wildlife while bicyclists and skaters glide along the paved park road. Visitors can access the beach via the pedestrian tunnel under A1A. Picnic areas overlook the channel; pavilions with water and electricity are available for rental.

Hugh Taylor Birch State Park

December 31, 1941, the Florida Board of Forestry and Parks obtained the title to what became Hugh Taylor Birch State Park.

In 1893, Chicago attorney Hugh Taylor Birch came to South Florida in search of a secluded area for his home. He settled in the small Fort Lauderdale village that included a store, a few houses and the old Army Post remains. Purchasing ocean-front property for about a dollar per acre, he eventually owned a 3.5-mile stretch of beachfront.

In 1940, at age 90, he built his Art Deco-style home, calling his 180-acre estate Terramar or ‘land to the sea.’ Wishing to preserve his subtropical paradise from encroaching development, Birch donated his estate as a public park. On December 31, 1941, the Florida Board of Forestry and Parks obtained the title to what became Hugh Taylor Birch State Park. It is now a barrier island of trees and greenery in the middle of urban Fort Lauderdale located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, and is one of the city’s most distinctive feature frequently compared to Central Park, also an island of peaceful green vegetation in the midst of a bustling city.
Oceanview Restaurant

Park & Ocean, spectacularly located in Fort Lauderdale’s Birch State Park. Aptly named Park & Ocean, the restaurant & garden sits amid a shady grove on the Southeast side of Birch Park along A1A featuring oceanfront seating and views. Our Caribbean & Southern influenced menu offers an eclectic mix of “farm to table” items. Learn More
Watersports & Recreation

There are a wide variety of activities you can do at the park. Including: kayaks,
canoes, waverunners, segways, SUP paddleboards and guided tours.
Weddings

Imagine saying your “I do’s” on the beach as the waves come ashore at High Taylor Birch State Park. Soon-to-be newlyweds are welcome to reserve their spot on the beach and may also choose to reserve one of the park’s pavilions for the reception for an additional fee. All Wedding and Pavilion reservations must be made in advance in person or by calling (954) 563-2900.

FWC: Very low level of red tide detected in Pinellas County

Red tide is creeping back into Tampa Bay, but it isn't something to be worried about yet, according to Pinellas County experts. Story:

Unidentified Creature

Unidentified creature found on beach. This strange unknown sea monster washed ashore on an unknown beach. What is this strange animal?

This picture was sent to us by Elizabeth and we are now sure what this dead animal is that she found here.

The Truth Behind the Strange Image Revealed


Little is known about the origins of this image or what this unidentified sea monster could be. After searching the web, we believe that it has similarities to that of an oarfish, an ocean species that is often mistaken for sea monsters when they are found dead every year.

Is this just an oar-fish or could this be a new species of sea life that was just discovered?
