I can tell since Hurricane Milton how hard this beach was destroyed which is devastating. But i'm not entirely sure it was a ton nicer even prior. One of the parking lots did get wiped out, so now the amount of parking available is awful, maybe 10-12 spots so if you don't get there quite early good luck getting a spot. And once you park, to get to the actual shoreline you have to walk up and around the giant valley/ pond just beyond the parking lot- lots of decay and damage still there, not sure if they're looking to fix it or not. We also love coming to Sanibel for shelling, and you could find some decent shells along Blind Pass here and there, but pretty underwhelming. There's plenty of other beaches stretching the island with more opportunity, better parking and overall much easier access.

This was the former beachfront home of Jim and Ellie Newton, who were friends with Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone and Charles Lindbergh. It is known as the Seven Seas Cottage where Jim Newton wrote his book, Uncommon Friends in 1987. Across the street is a Publix supermarket. Town of Fort Myers Beach purchased this property in 2003 and preserved this property. It is family friendly, quiet place perfect for anyone that does not want the noise and action at Fort Myers Beach. It has two bocce courts, Chickee Huts, with picnic tables with outdoor shower, restrooms with about 30 space for parking. The current rate is $3 per hour from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Of course, public beach access is available! You can explore the natural beauty through a guided walk along the shore on Tuesday and Thursday (9:00 AM). This is normally provided by a Naturalist by the Mound House nearby. There is Yoga group with weekly meeting/workout here but somehow, I forget their schedule. This is a small but a great place to enjoy the beach without the crowd!

If you're coming, take the LeeTran park and ride so that you don't have to deal with that. However, once you do get parked (and pay for your parking), this is an amazing spot at the northern tip of Estero Island. Much of the park remains a nature preserve but there are vending machines, bathroom structures, the bus stop of course and a beautiful flat sand beach with a view of Sanibel in the distance or the Gulf of Mexico. There are benches in some spots where you can sit and watch the nautical traffic go by. It's very peaceful. And don't forget to wear sunscreen! [Review 13357 overall, 675 of 2020.]

The sand is soft and white, not too many shells here but if you are into walking it's a good beach for that especially if barefooted. I'm not sure how crowded this beach gets on a weekend but when we were here we felt like it was our private beach as there was only one party with chairs set up here on our arrival. We loved the secluded parking ($10/ 12 hours) and the lovely beach walk which included complimentary life vests for children!

I actually got here by accident as I had not gone far enough on this road to get to Lover's Key on this day. Great error! I loved it so much, I came back the next day, too! It did make me miss my dog at home a lot but then I was comforted by others that shared theirs for a short time! The views here are beautiful. The wind was not as strong as the other coastal beaches and I saw a dolphin swimming around, loving the protection of this little bay. It was very clean and I noted everyone was super responsible in picking up after their pet. TIP: Make sure you wear water shoes or are OK in bare feet in a bit of unknown water as the tide will come in as the day goes on and you will have some considerable waterways to traverse, some parts, over a foot deep. You park (believe the porta potties are here and here only) and then walk a few blocks via a sandy walkway/water to the beach. People were bringing coolers, umbrellas, small tents for shade, water bottles of course and snacks. There are places along the beach to sit while your dog plays on the beach/sand bar. Would recommend to any animal lover. People were here all over from Canada and the US. Loved it!
