Cocolobo Cay Club
The Cocolobo Cay Club, later known as the Coco Lobo Club, was a private club on Adams Key in what is now Biscayne National Park, Florida. It was notable as a destination for the rich and the politically well-connected. Four presidents (Warren G. Harding, Herbert Hoover, Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon) visited while president,〔 and numerous U.S. senators including John F. Kennedy visited the club. It was established by millionaire Carl G. Fisher as a getaway in 1922, passing to motor boat racer Gar Wood, then to Nixon friend Bebe Rebozo in 1954. The main club building burned in 1974 after the property was incorporated into Biscayne National Monument, and the remaining structures were destroyed by Hurricane Andrew in 1992.
==Establishment==
American entrepreneur Carl G. Fisher, who was responsible for much of the development of Miami Beach, bought Adams Key, once known as Cocolobo Key, in 1916. With partners Charles W. Kotcher and Jim Snowden, Fisher built the Cocolobo Cay Club in 1922, named for the native pigeon plum (''Coccoloba diversifolia'')〔Shumaker, p. 57〕 The two-story club building had ten guest rooms, a dining room, and a separate recreation lodge. Members included Warren G. Harding, Albert Fall, T. Coleman DuPont, Harvey Firestone, Jack Dempsey, Charles F. Kettering, Will Rogers and Frank Seiberling.〔Miller, pp.19-20〕〔
Harding was a frequent visitor. A March 1923 trip was made with companions Albert Lasker, chairman of the Lod & Thomas advertising agency, who would resign the chairmanship of the United States Shipping Board on July 1 under investigation, Harding's personal secretary George B. Christian, Fisher, John Oliver La Gorce of the National Geographic Society, James A. Allison, who brought the party to the club from Miami on his yacht ''Seashore'', and others. The club was the destination of the annual Miami Committee of One Hundred outing each January during the 1920s and 1930s.
