Honeymoon Island Florida Being Built For Romance
Nearing completion on a small island in the Gulf of Mexico near Tampa, Florida is the ideal spot for honeymooners. Thatched “love nest” cottages are being built, and soon the spot will be a mecca of romance under tropical skies. The pioneers called it Hog Island, but it became Honeymoon Isle in 1939 when New York developer, Clinton Washburn, purchased the island with plans to build 50-palm thatched bungalows for Honeymooners.
