Question: What’s the name of the seven-acre island along the Panhandle that was once home to the “Robin Hood of Pirates”?
Answer: Black’s Island
The island, located in Saint Joseph’s Bay off the coast of Port St. Joe, is dubbed Black’s Island thanks to its former owner, Black Sam Bellamy. Bellamy was considered the richest pirate in history and earned the nickname “Robin Hood of Pirates” for his generosity.
