I never heard of Seminole Beach. Where is it or was it? Do you find this valuable?

The area south of the jetties. Seminole Road took one there. Now the Naval station and Hanns Park occupy it. Do you find this valuable?

I believe Seminole Beach started at 16th Ave No. in Atlantic Beach and continued as Mr. Mabry stated. Prior to WWII my Dad's friend would land his plane on Seminole Beach early AM on Sun and off they would go. The pilot flew the Berma hump and later retired as an airline Capt. I also remember midget auto races being held as a child as well as skeeter races later. Do you find this valuable?

There was also Manhattan Beach between 16th North and the jetties. It was a resort for African Americans. I address this in my World's Finest Beach, a book found at http://historicaltextarchive.com/books.php?op=viewbook&bookid=70&pre=1
