A man next to us is lighting up one of the grills they have by each pavilion. In this time of mostly bad news, I glad to be able to escape to a beautiful place! Happy Holidays everyone!

Be prepared that the trip will be 2.5 hours each way so there is total 4 hours of fishing. Chase and Ryan were really good boat mates. Many of the people on board didn't want to unhook their own fish so they were working hard being only 2 mates for the entire boat. The captain was nice enough to show a younger boy the wheelhouse. They allowed us to use the shark poles which is very unlikely on a party boat which was very much enjoyed.

Do not waste your time or money on this charter. It was supposed to be a half day of fishing from 9…read moreAM to 3 PM. We spent 2 1/2 hours riding out, fished for an hour and a half, and rode back in another two hours. We stopped twice during the course of the trip. There was no rhyme or reason for the direct ride. We never checked any spots. Just a ride. I caught 2 - 9 inch fish and my cousin didn't catch a one. There were 10 people on the boat that holds 40+.That was a sign of a poorly operated charter. I believe approximately 8 fish were caught in total today. All 9 or 10 inch fish! The encounter today was spot on regarding other negative reviews. I've been on many charters over my 66 years. The Sea Trek was by far the very worst experience. Not sure how they remain.

This pier also has many places at it's entrance for the person who needs food before they go on the short walk on the pier. Ft. Myers beach is visible from the pier and there were thousands of people soaking in the sun that adds its own color and fun. Parking can be a bit of a hassle. We got lucky and one person was leaving and signaled us they were leaving. That was a very nice gesture. My only complaint was they did not give us their paid parking ticket to enhance my free visit. :)

I was hoping there was some resemblance of what once existed here but that's not the case as of…read moreIndependence Day 2025. Although the rebuilding process continues there's not much left here after the devastating hurricanes, the public access fishing pier has been totally destroyed and the sea wall has been mostly destroyed, the sandy shell road is riddled with potholes and standing water and the businesses that were on the point are severely damaged, close and abandoned. There are signs that this place will recover, the sea wall sheet pilings are being installed from barges and land based cranes before the sand can be hauled in to fill the voids. It's apparent that the entire island has taken a beating with the collapsing buildings and uprooted trees scattered about but there's no doubt about the resiliency of the people that call this island home so the restoration will continue. There is still a small parking area that allows you to fish from the concrete sea wall that remains intact and enjoy the beautiful sunsets, hopefully the fishing pier construction will begin soon so the area can return even bigger and better than before. I hope to return here when everything is restored to give the 5 star review it deserves...

Things were trying to get back to some sort of normalcy since Ian, but all the piers that were just rebuilt were destroyed. We love to go there and have breakfast at the Perfect Cup and the Getaway Place. A lot of cleaning up was going on, but the quaint little stores that made it through Ian are pretty much gone. This makes me really sad!

I'm from New England and I was expecting more than that. The parking was far away from the pier and it was something like $6.00 per hour. We ended up moving on to another beach that seemed to be better. In the future, If I venture out to Sanibel while staying in Ft. Myers I will pass on this beach. The shells were much more plentiful at other beaches on the island and there are nicer spots in Lover's Cove.

The view from here of the Matlacha Pass is fantastic. Because of the causeway, the fishing here looks to be pretty darned awesome since the fish are just going right past and you can pull 'em right out. There are only a small number of parking spaces and if they're full, you're SOL. Serious bummer because this is a pretty solid view. The park has some shady spots for fishing, restrooms and easy level ground that is completely wheelchair accessible. And no, I didn't see any bats today.

Despite the size, this gem of a park has some great amenities and features. It's fully ADA accessible. It's location along Matlacha Pass makes it great for fishing. Of course, it's adjacent to the bridge, which is known as one of the world's most fishingest bridges. The park has restrooms with a covered porch and two benches. The big draw for me was the bat house. I wanted to learn more about the bats. The park has a great informational sign. I discovered: 1. The bats here are Brazilian Free-Tailed Bats and are found throughout most areas of Florida and 2: A single bat can eat up to 3000 insects a night.
