Bok Tower is a stunningly beautiful gift to the U.S from a German man who came here and made his fortune in the early 1900s. It's made from pink coral and is topped with a Carillon that plays music every quarter hour, to further enhance the lovely gardens featuring many native shrubs and trees. It's also one of the highest locations on this peninsula, offering views that are hard to come by around here.
