Beach Bound
Wednesday October 1st - Lover’s Key. For years, Lovers Key was accessible only
by boat and it was said that only lovers traveled to the island
to enjoy its remote and solitary beach. Today, it is one of
four barrier islands that make up this state park. A haven
for wildlife, the islands and their waters are home to West
Indian manatees, bottlenose dolphins, roseate spoonbills,
marsh rabbits, and bald eagles. The two mile long beach is
accessible by boardwalk or tram and is popular for shelling,
swimming, picnicking, and sunbathing. Black Island has
over five miles of multiuse trails for hiking and bicycling.
The park’s concession offers boat and fishing tours, as well
as bicycle, canoe, and kayak rentals. For more Information
about Lovers Key State Park, call 239-463-4588.
Lovers Key is located at 8700 Estero Blvd., Fort Myers Beach.
Admission Fees are $5.00 per vehicle for up to 8 people.
Single occupancy vehicle - $3.00. 10.5 miles west of
