Description
The Rocks are south of St. Augustine. They are composed of Anastasia Limestone which formed along the coast of Florida some 2.5 million years ago. It overlays along the Atlantic Coastal Ridge From St. John's County to Palm Beach County. Here in Flagler County, and in Blowing Rocks Preserve in Palm Beach County, the outcroppings are exposed along the beach. It is composed of interbedded sand and coquina rock. This rock was used by the Spanish in the 1600's to build Castillo de San Marcos, a famous fort in Saint Augustine. It proved to be very effective in absorbing the damage from cannon fire.
