What was the original name of the island that is located off the coast of Sarasota, Florida and is home to Turtle Beach?
Turtle Beach (Florida) Turtle Beach is a public beach located on South Siesta Key in Sarasota, Florida. Turtle Beach is known for the large number of sea turtles that nest on the shore. It has roughly 2,600 feet of beach front that is accessible to the public as well as camping, picnic areas, and a children play area. There are two boat ramps to launch boats on the lagoon side of the property. The beach has had problems with erosion. Sharks have been present in the ocean at the beach.
Goat Island (South Carolina) Goat Island is an island located between Mt. Pleasant and Isle of Palms, South Carolina, United States, on the Intracoastal Waterway. It is one of the smallest islands of the region, being only as large as a neighborhood street. There is another Goat Island in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, that is approximately 20,000 square feet. It is called Goat Island because every spring a man named Bubba Love (a local celebrity) and few friends place some goats on the islands. Tourists walking along the Marshwalk (a boardwalk that overlooks the marsh) can watch the goats. Goat Island has added peacocks to the population.
