Manhattan Beach was a coastal community for African Americans during segregation. Today, the area is a recreation spot with white sand beaches, a boardwalk, 15 miles of biking trails, a freshwater lake, and a campground. You can kayak and canoe and spot alligators and sharks' teeth. The park is named after an author and teacher from Chicago who eventually called Florida home and supported its parks and memorials.
