History
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
In the 1940s and 1950s, Atlanta native Elbridge S. Boyd played a pivotal role in shaping the early development of Siesta Key. His vision and leadership were instrumental in several landmark projects, including Hidden Harbor, the Sanderling Club, and the founding of the Cocoanut Bayou Association (CBA). Established in 1949, the CBA encompasses 54 eligible homes located along Cedar Park Circle, Higel Avenue, Midnight Pass Road, Mangrove Point Road, Mangrove Place, and Little Pond Lane.
Boyd’s developments were guided by a deep respect for both ecology and aesthetics, with a focus on preserving the area’s natural beauty. At the heart of South Cocoanut Bayou lies a large mangrove island, which continues to thrive as a vibrant and protected natural habitat.
Coconut Bayou Association, Inc.
The Cocoanut Bayou Association, Inc. (CBA) is a Florida non-profit corporation originally founded in 1952 and formally amended in 1990 to establish a voluntary, non-profit property owners' association. The Association is comprised of property owners within the Cocoanut Bayou area, as defined in its governing documents. Together, members work to preserve the unique charm and natural beauty of the neighborhood by upholding agreed-upon guidelines and responsibilities. These collective efforts help maintain the peaceful, welcoming character that defines Cocoanut Bayou.
