In the 1940s and 1950s, Atlanta native Elbridge S. Boyd played a pivotal role in shaping the early development of Siesta Key. His vision and leadership were instrumental in several landmark projects, including Hidden Harbor, the Sanderling Club, and the founding of the Cocoanut Bayou Association (CBA).
Established in 1952, the CBA encompasses 54 eligible homes located along Cedar Park Circle, Higel Avenue, Midnight Pass Road, Mangrove Point Road, Mangrove Place, and Little Pond Lane.
Boyd’s developments were guided by a deep respect for both ecology and aesthetics, with a strong emphasis on preserving the area’s natural beauty. At the heart of South Cocoanut Bayou lies a large mangrove island—an enduring testament to his vision—which continues to thrive today as a vibrant and protected natural habitat.
