On June 16, 1942, four German spies stepped ashore at Ponte Vedra Beach. In the pre-dawn hours, a German submarine surfaced, a raft was launched and the four men rowed to shore with a cache of materials. After burying boxes of explosives, they walked to highway 140 and caught a bus to Jacksonville.
Local pop historian Scott A. Grant will present “The Night The Nazis Invaded Ponte Vedra Beach” at Alhambra Theatre & Dining on June 9. This event is a special presentation only and will not feature a meal. The Library Lounge will be open for the purchase of refreshments.
