Description
A walk through Turtle Mound at Canaveral National Seashore.
This prehistoric archaeological site is located in the Canaveral National Seashore and is one of the largest shell middens on the Florida coast standing about 50 ft tall. The mound is mostly made up of oyster shells - the remains from the prehistoric Timucuan people who existed five to six centuries before European contact. Turtle Mound is visible 7 miles out to sea and was used by sailors as a navigational device.
