Sand Point, Santa Rosa Island

Sand Point, Santa Rosa Island is a survey station established by William E. Greenwell in 1860.

“Looking from the anchorage southeast is a low white hill smooth and grassy on the top, from which a clear view is had of the shore up to the northeast point of the island. Upon this hill the signal stands. It cannot be mistaken and id easily found. East of the signal and under the Point is a Safe Anchorage during the summer, but disagreeable as a heavy cross swell is constantly running. Anchor in 5 fathoms close in.”
