Walking around Eau Gallie in Melbourne, Florida, I came across this colorful sign at the entrance to the Eau Gallie Pier.

Interesting graphism and beautiful colours. I am surprised to read this French name!

@Mireille T.: Eau Gallie, meaning "rocky water," is believed to have derived its name from the abundance of coquina rock in the area.

Great documentation ... we're on the opposite coast, but have friends in Indialantic.

@Judy aka L@dybug: That explains why you recognized Bonefish Willy's being in Melbourne. It's great being able to share photos with someone familiar with the area.

Ps: when I wrote "opposite coast" I should have been more explicit ... west coast Florida ... not west coast of Indialantic. :)

@Judy aka L@dybug: Thank you for clarifying but no need to ... I understood that you meant west coast. Like I said, it is nice to share with someone that is familiar with the area.

I like the brightness and symmetry here

@Ruthiebear: Any sign at a public place that has an artistic quality is a welcome relief from the tradition blue informational signs with white text.

@franz: A little on the gaudy side but these are common colors in Florida.

Harry from Apex, NC, United States

Does Eau Gallie mean anything? It almost seems like a pidgin "water boat" or something.

@Harry: It loosely translate as "rocky water."
