Fort Myers Beach - A right
turn out our front entrance and a short three mile drive brings you to Fort
Myers Beach, which encompasses miles of sandy beach along Estero Island. The
“heart” of the beach is Lynn Hall Memorial Park in the center of town. There is
metered parking, a comfort station with outdoor shower, a changing room, as
well as access to the beach and fishing pier. Look for the white banners
marking the location of beach access sites as one drives along Estero Boulevard
(Rte. 865). Most access sites have metered parking. Sanibel Causeway - Enroute to Sanibel Island, after the toll plaza, the causeway crosses two islands and three bridges. There are beaches on both sides of these islands which are very popular. People regularly sunbathe and fish here because of its location and free parking. This is also a favorite destination for kite boarding and wind surfing. One can see their colorful sails here almost every day. There is a comfort station here as well as an occasional roadside food vendor. Blind Pass - Sometimes shells are found in great abundance here. This beach is located at the bridge separating Sanibel Island and Captiva Island on Sanibel-Captiva Road. There is limited metered parking and a comfort station at Blind Pass. Bowditch Point Beach - Less than a mile north of Lynn Hall Park is Bowditch Point Park. Much quieter then it’s neighbor, Bowditch offers metered parking, snack bar, picnic area with tables and grills and a comfort station with outdoor shower and changing room. Bowman’s Beach - Another popular beach for relaxing and shelling, Bowman’s Beach is on Bowman’s Road off Sanibel-Captive Road. This beach is a long time favorite and many people can be seen here doing the “Sanibel Stoop”. There is a large metered parking lot and a comfort station with fresh water shower for rinsing off. Bunche Beach - Just off John Morris Road, Bunche Beach is the closest beach to Cinnamon Cove. Just out our back entrance and onto Summerlin Road, a short five minute ride is all it takes. This is a great place to go to avoid the traffic in Fort Myers Beach. Small crowds and beautiful sunsets over Sanibel Island make this a good destination. Bunche Beach is also a popular destination for watching shore birds. This location has undergone a major renovation, completed in June 2010. There are now rest room facilities, a nature center and parking for 52 cars. There are many sites about this beach on the internet, but they are all outdated and the information on them is no longer valid. Lover’s Key State
