Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 239 fires within 5 miles of Santa Fe Beach between 1992 and 2020, burning about 11,550 acres in total. 42 started naturally. 23 were recorded as arson. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a fire counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

The most recent of them, most recent first, with the day each was reported and the service that recorded it.

Settlements close enough to share some of these fires:

• Earleton
• Lake Alto Estates
• Shenks
• Waldo
• Orange Heights
• Campville

Every fire recorded in Alachua County

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 868 specimens collected within 10 miles of Santa Fe Beach between 1850 and 1975: 411 Animalia, 379 Fungi, 52 Plantae, 13 Protozoa, 8 Chromista, 5 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Laessle, A. S. Rhoads, A. Stowers and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
