For the physically active history buff, the Boynton Inlet, which was created in the 1920s, provides access to the Atlantic Ocean from the Intracoastal Waterway. About 3/4 mile north of the inlet lies a designated Florida Marine Archaeological Preserve containing the wreck of the Lofthus, an iron-hulled ship which sank in 1898. Over the years, the Lofthus has "evolved into a reef and has become a habitat for many species of colorful tropical fish and underwater wildlife. Anemones and sponges have also taken up residence inside the hollow iron masts of the ship. The wreck rests in only 15-20 feet of water and is a favorite destination for both snorkelers and divers.
