April 2: Dedication of GTM NERR Ponce de Leon 30°8´ Historical Site This permanent addition to our visitor experience recognizes the only navigational reading recorded of Ponce de Leon's "Journey of Discovery," taken the day prior to his landing on April 3, 1513, when he claimed La Florida for Spain. The site, at a position of 30 degrees 8 minutes north latitude, is between St. Augustine and Ponte Vedra Beach, and will include an official historical marker, interpretive signage and a 15' statue of Ponce de Leon peering over the dunes. www.Floridashistoriccoast.com
