Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon heard from natives about a beautiful island of Bimini and set out to find it and possibly also a fountain that would yield eternal youth to those who drank from it. The Fountain of Youth Discovery Park marks the spot where the Spanish explorers including de Leon came ashore. Archaeological discoveries at the site include a springhouse, landmark cross, saltcellar and artifacts remaining from an Indian village. Period reenactments, a large gift shop and planetarium also occupy the 15-acre area that memorializes the natives and explorers who occupied the land so many years ago.
