The 1935 hurricane destroyed Flagler's railroad, and the state bought the surviving bridges for a road, so drivers spent decades crossing the Gulf on piers built for trains. The old Seven Mile Bridge ran beside its replacement for years as a fishing pier and film set. It is 113 miles of highway with about forty-two bridges, ending at a marker for the southernmost point in the continental United States.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
