At the southern tip of Merritt Island, Florida is a place called Dragon Point. It can easily be seen from the Eau Gallie Causeway Bridge. There once lived a dragon named Annie and her just hatching offspring til a severe storm hit her in 2002 and then vandals finished her off. The property fell on hard times.
