Exhibition: Beaches Bite By Bite

Take a journey through tastes and time to see how Beaches food is as diverse as the people who have called the community home throughout the years.

Many cultures have had an impact on our community’s cuisine, from the early Mocama people who first lived along the shores of the St. Johns River and the Atlantic Ocean, to the Minorcan, Danish, and Filipino residents of the Beaches.

Food is a bridge between centuries and cultures, a language spoken in spices and simmered in traditions passed from cook to cook. From the crackling fires of Timucua villages to the bustling kitchens of modern restaurants, learn how the act of preparing and sharing a meal has bound us together for generations.
