Part of Lovers Key Resort, Flippers On The Bay is a hidden gem between Fort Myers Beach and Bonita Springs. The dining is alfresco and more upscale than one might imagine after taking a gander at the restaurant on stilts. Facing the Estero Bay, you still have a view of the Gulf of Mexico. Open for breakfast lunch and dinner, many items have a Latin flare although the cuisine is worldly with lots of seafood. Try the campechana, a spicy Spanish-style shrimp cocktail. During the day, the beach and dock often fill with boaters and at sunset, the usually calm waters become a playground for dolphins. It's one of the few places you can see both sunrise and sunset while dining.
