A laid-back area on a barrier island of the same name



History

The Anastasia embodies centuries of layered history, reflecting a vibrant tapestry of Native American heritage, Spanish colonial ambition, and modern restoration efforts that continue to define this unique landmark. Long before European explorers set foot on Florida’s eastern coast, the area was revered by indigenous peoples who recognized its strategic coastal advantages and rich natural resources. The lush landscapes, tidal marshes, and abundant marine life made the region a center for seasonal gatherings, trade, and spiritual ceremonies, laying the groundwork for the historical narrative that would follow.
