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. It's the only spot on the beach giving diners a view of both the sunrise and the sunset while serving food for both. The chef is full of laughter and you can almost taste that in his food. During winter and spring when breakfast is served try the Lobster Eggs Benedict. For dinner the Miso Seabass is a melt in your mouth signature. Sitting on the Estero Bay, you still have a clear view of the Gulf of Mexico and it's one of the best spots to see the dolphin show, presented by Mother Nature.
