This is the last possible stretch of beach on Estero Island, sitting on the Northern tip of Fort Myers Beach. It's a great place to watch all kinds of watercraft, make their way into the Gulf of Mexico. The park includes walking trails, guided walks and is a designated site on the Great Florida Birding Trail. The beach is narrow at high tide but is beautifully decorated by Mother Nature with lots of driftwood and mangroves. There are restroom facilities and a concession stand if your cooler gets low. The park also offers kayak and paddleboard rentals when you're ready to move your body.

- Best for Parks Because: A walking trail with a water view, wildlife, birding and beach access are just some of the things that make this beach park appealing.
- Best for Beaches Because: It's a peaceful stretch of beach surrounded by an extensive preserve area. Find concessions, lots of shade and kayak rentals; something for the entire family.
