I love this park. Close walk to the beach. A little trail you can walk. Plenty of places to sit down and have a picnic. Big bathrooms. Very peaceful. We got married there.

Very nice the day we visited. Not a lot of people so distancing was not an issue. Loved getting my feet in the sand and water. Lots of shells but mostly broken. Saw a couple of coconuts probably brought here from storm Eta. Pay lot is $2/hour.

Parked here to walk the beach. We ere there on a Saturday and there were several spaces available, $2 per hour. Nice beach access and and restroom facilities. Only draw back is could not find a place to rinse off.

It was our first visit there. It’s a nice big beach. At low tide you can walk all the way to the end of the point. It seemed pretty busy @ 8 am in the morning & I can see where parking would be an issue. It’s not a large lot & parking is $2 an hour. There are bathrooms & showers to rinse off. I found a few shells that had been on my bucket list.

My family and I visited here on our last day of vacation last week and I am so glad we did! The beach is beautiful here. We didnt have much time, so it left areas unexplored, but what we did see, we loved. We spotted a star fish and three jelly fish while walking around the border of the shore. It was neat to watch the boats come in and out from the bay as well. Definitely a very neat area that screams a little more Florida and a little less attractiony. The restroom facilities were very nice as well. Great area for picnics. I believe the parking was $2/hour. We absolutely loved the short time we explored here and will definitely be going back to see the rest on our next trip.

Parking lot is close to the beach. The beach is big and uncrowded. There are at least a dozen picnic tables and grills, but they are away from the beach. You cant even see the beach while you are grilling. There are no dogs or alcohol allowed on the beach. Vending consists of one soda machine I think, so bring your own food and drink.

This is a well maintained and equipped beach park. Clean facilities. Lovely beach with no party riff-raff. Just nice families, couples and retirees. Lots of picnic tables and grills as well as a covered pavilion. Covid distancing was honored. It was not crowded at all. We visited on a Tuesday in November.

This park in Fort Myers Beach is great to have picnics. You have to pay $2.00 per hour for parking. You have small gazebos, tables and grill.Bathrooms, showers, drinking water fountain.Within a few steps you will have the beach with a beautiful white sand. You can enjoy watching the pelicanos hunting fish.Bring your chairs, food and drinks. However alcohol is not allowed in the park.

Beautiful Views, Great Place to watch the Sunset! Great Sand it’s like powder whenever you walk on it. You’ll see a lot of sea life while you’re there probably. Wonderful place to walk or beach it for the day, while in Ft. Myers/on the West Coast of Florida!SUNSET VISIT RECOMMENDED! ️

Love this beach. North tip of Estero island. Not to crowded. And there is a jet ski rental right next door. Its a short distance to the bay side and even has some trails through the woods. The boardwalk to the beach is one of the nicest entrances to any beach I have seen. And you can grill out there

Awesome beach. We love when the pirate ship goes by. The beach is gorgeous and versitale. You can do so many things here!! They have a beautiful picnic area, views from the bay and the ocean and clean bathrooms. The parking lot is small but its not expensive to park here.

Great beach that is not over crowded. Nice beach along the point and watching boats come out into the gulf. Parking is limited so you must be there early to get a spot or be lucky if someone is leaving. There are public bathrooms but no food or drinks in area so make sure to bring some. Enjoy!

A quieter beach, highly accessible and public restrooms. We go here to walk. Pay to park can be very tight in high season. Buy the annual pass for $60 and parking at Lee County parks and beaches.

Beach is nice and quiet but thats probably because there is virtually no parking. Either youre lucky and find a spot quick or youll drive around until someone leaves or youll have to park a few miles down the beach

Review №26

Great place if youre craving the beach but want to avoid the drunk party crowd that usually inhabits Fort Myers Beach. The parking lot is medium sized, however most people dont realize theres a beach here so its usually not too busy. Its a great place to anchor your boat and ride the waves or cast the pole. Definitely bring bug spray though! Even during mid day the No See ems are out and about.

The facilities are clean and parking fee is reasonable. It is a little further away from the beach, but there is lots of space and it is not too crowded. The sand is perfect for sand castles. There a sand banks and we saw lots of sand dollars.

This is the only spot in ft Myers Beach worth being at, theres a very small amount of people (in comparison to the main parts of ft Myers Beach)which is a huge plus because who even likes going to a crowded beach.

Review №45

This is a great place with a little bit of everything for everyone. The parking lot doesnt hold many cars and that keeps the crowds down. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out and do their own thing. There are picnic areas, nature trails with random benches spread out to enjoy the views, grass to layout and stare at the clouds and oh yeah... The GULF OF MEXICO!!!! Beach is a bit covered in shells and not maintained as Fort Myers Beach, but the raw beauty is perfect. When youre done for the day theres bathrooms and outdoor showers. Get cleaned up and head down the street for a bite to eat. This is definitely my new hangout.

This park is a hidden gem. People do not seem to go to the north end of Estero Island and dont realize it is a county park with beaches, picnic areas and natural areas. Yes, many do know it is here, but we had no trouble getting a parking place. You do pay by the hour or use a Lee County Parks annual parking pass. The bus also stops here.

Nice little park to go visit. Some trails were a little muddy/flooded. But the beach was well kept, nice and clean. When the tide is low enough you can walk out into the water a long ways and look for shells. Check it out if youre in the area. Plenty of cool washed up trees and snakes around too!

Great family beach !! Showers and restrooms when you have 4 grandkids, 3 under 10, is a great bonus !!! Clean changing rooms. Showers all worked wonderfully. I would say this place is one of the best kept public beaches Ive been to !!

Quiet beach. Wide beach with white soft sand. I walk to the beach area so parking isn’t a concern for me. However, for those that need to park, I have seen lines of cars waiting for a spot and turnover is slow. There are picnic tables, charcoal grills and restrooms at the park. It’s also a trolley/tram stop with a covered waiting area with seating.
