Some of the Best Beaches in Southwest Florida
One of the biggest reasons people fall in love with Southwest Florida is simple: the beaches. Warm Gulf waters, white sand, beautiful sunsets and miles of coastline make the beach a part of everyday life. Here are just a few worth discovering.
Fort Myers Beach
Located on Estero Island, Fort Myers Beach offers miles of white sand along with restaurants, boating, fishing and plenty of activity. It’s a great choice for people who enjoy having entertainment and waterfront fun close at hand.
Sanibel Island
Sanibel is famous for shelling, wildlife and natural beauty. Its beaches have a quieter, more natural character, making the island ideal for walking, biking, wildlife watching or simply spending a peaceful afternoon beside the Gulf
Captiva Island
Just north of Sanibel, Captiva offers beautiful beaches, spectacular sunsets and a relaxed Old Florida island atmosphere. Beaches such as Turner Beach and Alison Hagerup Beach Park are especially popular for shelling, fishing and sunset watching.
Naples Beaches
Naples offers miles of Gulf shoreline, from natural areas such as Delnor-Wiggins to beaches close to downtown. It’s an excellent combination of beach life, restaurants, shopping and city conveniences.
Lovers Key State Park
For something more natural, Lovers Key offers a beautiful stretch of Gulf beach surrounded by waterways and wildlife habitat. It’s a wonderful place for swimming, shelling, walking, kayaking or simply escaping the crowds.
