Military ruins on the beach side of the island (just beyond the background palms). This was once a observation tower. Egmont Key has a lot of history. In 1898 a coastal defense system was built to protect the west coast of Florida from a possible Spanish invasion. This Fort became known as Fort Dade. By World War I their was a complete town on the island complete with a school, post office, hospital, theater, etc. Several miles of brick streets are still there today. This path connected the military fortress to the town.
