The fruit of the Seagrape (Coccoloba uvifera) at the Coquina Baywalk on Leffis Key. The reddish fruits of the sea grape may be eaten raw, cooked into jellies and jams, or fermented into sea grape wine or vinegar. I did not partake.

Jewfish Key is a private island that we kayaked around. We saw a couple dolphins playing nearby too, but the main attraction to the public is large sandbar nearby. We rented our kayaks from a place called Kayak Jack's. They were great! You pick a drop-off location and specify a time and your kayaks will be awaiting you, ready for launch! http://www.kayak-jacks.com “You choose the location, We bring the Fun!”
