Description
On a beautiful May morning ocean waves wash ashore along the edges of the craggy Anastasia limestone outcroppings found on Hutchinson Island. The House of Refuge at Gilbert's Bar can be seen seated alongside the rocky shoreline.
Gilbert’s Bar House of Refuge was built in 1876 and is the last surviving house of refuge of 10 originally built all along Florida’s coast to aid shipwreck victims. Florida's house of refuge program started between 1876 to 1886 due to the need to prevent the high loss of life and sailing ships from hurricanes and dangerous reefs in a then largely unpopulated Florida. This historic building is on a picturesque portion of beach called the St. Lucie Rocks. Outcroppings of Anastasia limestone line the shoreline.
