According to Mr. Don Berg, one of the original land developers on Key Biscayne, and owner of the famous restaurant "The English Pub, and The Jamaican Inn" tells the story. Mr. Berg says " Before the land became a park, it was privately held property. There were plans that were drawn up to make the acreage that today is Cape Florida State Recreation area, a development that included condominiums, residential and estate homes and everything else that makes up a first class development." (See picture below on left) "With nothing to start with, as the survey and planning stage was underway, the body of water that is today "No Name Harbor" had no name, so that is what was written on the architectural renderings. Where the plans had the harbor drawn, in the middle of the harbor is written "No Name Harbor". The development, of course never came to be, but the name "No Name Harbor" stuck. The harbor with no name today is officially named and recognized as "No Name Harbor". 'No Name Harbor' has some rules that you should check out and also some informationon anchorage and mooring at 'No Name Harbor' that you will not find in any cruising guide. |
