The Beaches of Fort Myers Beach I am listing the beaches and parks located Fort Myers Beach. Please visit the PARKS link for parks on the mainland in Fort Myers. The beautiful beaches of Fort Myers Beach are all public!  Access roads provide metered parking and footpaths or boardwalks directly to the sand. The beaches are wide and powdery white. The waters are typically calm and warm, making swimming a safe and enjoyable activity. The popular place to be is near the city pier with beach side dining, bars and lots of activities. Newton Park and Seven Seas located at 4610 Estero, is a beach side community gathering site with picnic tables, restrooms, a bocce ball court and grassy cabana. Built in 1953, the historic home of Jim and Ellie Newton, is rich in island history. The Newton’s extensive friendships with Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone, Charles Lindbergh, and others are recorded in Jim Newton’s book, “Uncommon Friends”.  Southern end of Estero Island, heading to Lovers Key  Lovers Key Beaches Lover Key State Park is located over a bridge from the southern tip of Estero Island. Four barrier islands make up a 712 acre park. Aptly named Lovers Key due to its number of secluded and nearly private beaches. A popular beach is Dog Beach, located on the north side of Big Carlos Pass. Here you’ll enjoy the rambunctious antics of all breeds of dogs bounding through the sand and water! This pass is a favorite anchorage for boaters and fishermen. The park has an admission fee to use the main facilities, however there are many pull-offs from Estero Boulevard. Guided Ranger tours, special events such as photographer workshops or outings such as guided evening kayak tours are available. Visit the park website for current activities.

 Naples Beach and Pier The Naples City beach and Fishing Pier are a must see attraction. Originally built in 1888 as a freight train and passenger dock, it was destroyed by fire in 1922. Rebuilt and restored over the years, it is a symbol of the city. The Naples Fishing Pier is located at the west end of 12th Avenue South where plenty of parking is also available. The Pier is near the midway point of the Naples Beach where you can walk 3 miles south to Gordon Pass, or 3 miles north to Doctors Pass. The area is usually pretty lively and fun to see. A refreshment stand sits on the pier and restrooms are available. For an interesting video presentation of the Naples Pier: click here.
