If you could remove the beach sand on Honeymoon you would have miles of coral exposed. Petrified coral lies under most of the sand in that area. Great collecting after a hurricane.

James, I totally agree that a lot of coral is beneath the surface. When we lived in Fort Myers, Fl. I found a lot of fossils and many types of coral when the drag lines were digging the canals in Cape Coral, Fl. in the 70's. I also found some coral in the New Port Richey area when I visited a rock shop there and looked around canals being dug at the time.
