Juno Beach is home to the headquarters of Florida Power & Light, the Loggerhead Marinelife Center and the Seminole Golf Club.
[7] The designation in 1944 of a namesake D-Day landing beach in Normandy, named for Juno Dawnay, a Canadian officer's wife,[8] was purely coincidental.
[12][13] During World War II, German U-boats patrolled this coastline.
Tankers were a favorite target as they transported oil via the swift, northbound gulf stream which runs close to the south Florida coast.
A submarine attacked this tanker south of Juno Beach, off Singer Island.
With these submarines offshore, people feared that our sparsely inhabited coastline would be ideal for landing parties of German spies or saboteurs.
Wounded American sailors, whose ships had been sunk by the submarines, occasionally were found on the beach and rushed to the hospital .
Horseback beach patrols, which included civilian volunteers, used the motel car sheds across the street as stables.
