Editorial Review for Coral Castle – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Ed Leedskalnin sought to escape the pain of being left at the altar by his young bride-to-be by single-handedly quarrying a 28-ton piece of coral, transporting it and building a castle from 1931 until his death in 1951. This Herculean effort was completed without the benefit of heavy equipment, which still amazes scientists, engineers and laymen alike. Just how he moved those rocks still remains unknown.

My in-laws came to visit and we had just seen a special on Coral Castle so we decided to go and visit this unique piece of work. There is something in this structure that will appeal to anyone visiting.
Pros: Knowledgable Staff, Reasonably priced, Family friendly
Cons: Under Advertised

coral castle is one of the most bazaar, freakish, and hysterical places that I have ever been to. on the way back from the keys towards south beach, the packed car of my sister and her 6 bridesmaids stopped to check out the myth of ed and "sweet sixteen". to our surprise, the staff there was more than willing to fill in the blanks with information about this mystery(they even question whether or not he may be from mars?!?) overall this is a must see, even if its just for some photo ops and a good laugh
