It lies 2.4 miles east of Leisure City, FL (from Leisure City, FL: bearing 93°T), and is situated 5.7 miles east-north-east of Homestead. The terrain here is a testament to the ancient processes that shaped South Florida, a generally flat expanse that hints at its submerged past, now a fertile ground for life to flourish. Sunlight, when it breaks through the humid air, possesses a particular brilliance, bleaching the palmettos and casting sharp, defined shadows across the sandy soil.
