History

Butler Beach was established by Frank B. Butler, who had been successful operating a grocery store and became a political activist. The Lincolnville businessman bought land in the area between the Atlantic Ocean and the Matanzas River, and offered beach access to African Americans. It was the only beach open to them between Jacksonville and Daytona Beach.
