4 party entrepreneurs bought 'Beer Can Island' in Florida's Tampa Bay for $63,000. They're now selling it for $14 million.
Pine Key, a picturesque island nestled in the heart of Tampa Bay, is a testament to both human ingenuity and natural beauty. Spanning an impressive 69 acres, this man-made wonder, born from a state dredging project, features a compact 9-acre landmass. It's fringed with stunning white beaches and encircled by the mesmerizing blue waters of the bay.
Affectionately dubbed 'Beer Can Island,' a nickname it earned due to remnants left by visiting boaters, Pine Key has undergone a remarkable transformation. Over the past seven years, it has evolved from a casual boater's stopover to a vibrant epicenter of Florida's party scene.
The island's journey to becoming a sought-after destination began in 2017. It was then that a group of four visionary entrepreneurs recognized its potential, acquiring the property for a modest sum of $63,650.
Today, Pine Key stands as a unique blend of natural allure and entrepreneurial spirit, attracting visitors from near and far.
