Every beach guide in Lee County

Bonita Beach

Bonita Springs, Florida

Choose Bonita for a Gulf beach walk using the numbered pedestrian paths. Parking and amenities at the main park are closed for restoration; plan arrival before setting out.

Little Hickory Island Beach

Bonita Springs, Florida

Choose Little Hickory for the northern numbered Bonita access at Access 10. Its beach remains pedestrian-accessible while the parking and park amenities undergo restoration.

Dog Beach

Bonita Springs, Florida

Choose Dog Beach for off-leash shoreline time with a dog. This tidal flat can require wading at middle or high tide, and it has no supervised dog or swimming service.

Lovers Key Beach

Bonita Springs, Florida

Choose Lovers Key for shelling, nature trails and a longer walk to the Gulf. The tram has ended; visitors must use the two pedestrian or bicycle routes.

Fort Myers Beach

Fort Myers Beach, Florida

Choose the town beach for its numbered street paths and nearby island businesses. Facilities differ by entrance; county parks have separate dog and construction rules.

Bowditch Point Beach

Fort Myers Beach, Florida

Choose Bowditch for Gulf and bay shoreline scenery at the north end of Estero Island. Construction has closed the lot and amenities while pedestrian access remains.

Lynn Hall Beach

Fort Myers Beach, Florida

Choose Lynn Hall for the beach beside the island’s town center. The parking lot is closed for restoration; use an alternative lawful arrival and do not assume park amenities are operating.

Crescent Beach

Fort Myers Beach, Florida

Choose Crescent for a compact Gulf beach beside the Matanzas bridge with restored basic facilities. County rules here differ from the adjacent town beach.

Bunche Beach

Fort Myers, Florida

Choose Bunche for tidal bay shallows, birding and paddling rather than Gulf surf. Boardwalk repair limits some parking, while the county says beach and restrooms remain open.

Sanibel Causeway Islands

Sanibel Causeway, Florida

Choose the county causeway islands for bay-side fishing, paddling and a roadside picnic. These two islands are distinct from the city Causeway Beach Park and from Gulf surf beaches.

Causeway Beach Park

Sanibel, Florida

Choose this city bay shoreline at Sextant Drive for a distinct Sanibel arrival. It is not the pair of county causeway islands or the nearby boat ramp.

Lighthouse Beach

Sanibel, Florida

Choose Lighthouse Beach for shelling and the island’s historic lighthouse setting. The fishing pier remains closed, and the lighthouse is not open for public tours.

Gulfside City Beach (Algiers)

Sanibel, Florida

Choose Gulfside City Beach for a quieter park-style Gulf outing with picnic facilities. There is no room for RVs or trailers in its small lot.

Tarpon Bay Road Beach

Sanibel, Florida

Choose Tarpon Bay Road for a straightforward Gulf arrival if a quarter-mile walk works for you. General parking is north of the beach; the beachfront spaces are accessible spaces.

Bowman’s Beach

Sanibel, Florida

Choose Bowman’s for shelling and a beach walk away from hotel frontage. Allow for the quarter-mile approach and footbridge over Clam Bayou.

Blind Pass Beach

Sanibel, Florida

Choose Blind Pass for shelling, sunsets and fishing from lawful shoreline areas. Swimming is prohibited because of dangerous pass currents.

Turner Beach

Captiva, Florida

Choose Turner for shells and sunset scenery on the Captiva side of Blind Pass. Strong pass currents make this a poor choice for a casual swimming plan.

Captiva Beach

Captiva, Florida

Choose Captiva Beach for Gulf sunset and shelling access via Alison Hagerup or the named Andy Rosse route. Pay attention to the paid lot and Captiva’s pet restrictions.

Cayo Costa Beach

Cayo Costa, Florida

Choose Cayo Costa only with a private boat or kayak day-trip plan. There is no operating ferry or overnight accommodation, and drinking water and electricity are unavailable.

Boca Grande Beach

Boca Grande, Florida

Choose a named Boca Grande Gulf street-end for a simple beach arrival. Bay-side access sites and primitive paths are separate; the Fifth Street ramp is temporarily closed by erosion.

Gasparilla Island State Park Beach

Boca Grande, Florida

Choose the state park for southern Gasparilla beach, shelling and historic lighthouse context. Park admission is separate from the private bridge toll.

Destination guides and access points

A named beach guide describes a visitor destination. The separate access directory preserves individual streets, walkovers, ramps and park entrances so smaller public routes are not lost.
