For centuries, people have flocked to this coastal playground by horse-drawn trolley, ferry, and more recently Florida's Coastal Highway, State Road A1A. They came for recreation, jobs, and sunny weather in the late 1800s, when Henry Flagler attracted Northerners to his new and novel" hotels. Visitors were excited to learn the ocean was just across the bay. Tourism provided jobs for settlers, like the Minorcan, Usina, and Capo families, offering fun excursions. Nowhere else were horse-drawn trolleys delivering beachgoers across sand dunes to the sea. Like Ponce de León, who was smitten with the pristine beaches, the area's story is one of developing the land along an isolated coastline. Road and bridge construction after World War II encouraged migration as well as visitors to the beaches, fish camps, and Art Deco motor courts. This nostalgic 1950s look remains today, attracting those curious about the region's multicultural history.". 588 0 Print version record. 650 0 Beaches|zFlorida|xHistory|vPictorial works. 650 7 HISTORY / United States / State & Local / South (AL, AR, FL, GA, KY, LA, MS, NC, SC, TN, VA, WV)|2bisacsh 651 0 Saint Johns County (Fla.)|xHistory|vPictorial works. 651 0 Saint Johns County (Fla.)|vBiography|vPictorial works. 651 0 Saint Johns County (Fla.)|xBuildings, structures, etc. |vPictorial works. 651 0 Saint Johns County (Fla.)|xSocial life and customs |vPictorial works. 655 0 Electronic books. 700 1 O'Hara, Sallie L.,|eauthor. 700 1 Pilecki, John T.,|eauthor. 710 2 Vilano Beach Main Street Incorporated,|eauthor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aBrowning, Vivian C.|tVilano and the North beaches.|dCharleston, South Carolina : Arcadia Publishing, [2015]|z9781467114356 (pbk.)|w(DLC)2015932397 830 0 Images of America. 914 frd00024318
