Casuarina Point

Gaines describes “...Casurina(sic) Point as being a sort of Gilligan’s Island, and indeed it was. A relaxed little community making do paradisaically, it is made up of 20 or so families living along a single street in 2000-square-foot houses originally built there around 30 years ago by the American company Owens Illinois to house employees of its pulpwood and sugar-cane operation. When Owens Illinois left the island in the late 1960s, local people gradually took over the houses and Casurina (sic) Point was born. Some of its residents work in Marsh Harbor (sic);some fish for crawfish or Florida lobster; and Rex and Judy Albury run a clean, cheerful little duplex guest house there called Beachcomber Bay.”
