There are places in Ft. Lauderdale that offer a quiet respite from the spring beak crowds and chaos. This Chickee-designed shelter is actually a bridge across the lagoon of the Bonnet House. It was a gift to the orginal owners of the B.H., the Bartletts, from some of their caretakers. Copyright 2023 Pamela BreitbergRead about the Seminole Chickee structures here. The dormant Bonnet Lilies (Nuphar subintegerrima) under the Chickee bridgeway add to the calm setting away from the nearby partying crowds on the Ft. Lauderdale beaches. There is a pathway around the pond as well as connecting to the bridge so views of the Chickee is visible from mulitple directions.

Looks very peaceful.
It absolutely is. And often unvisited, so a great hideout when one needs that for awhile.
Beautiful…and that tranquility finds its way here! Thank you!
So needed by everyone at times.🏝
