Great State Park. Hiking trails that are wide and easy, very bike-able. Also kayak rentals, fishing and beach access with trolley option. Clean facilities and bathrooms everywhere. Great nature opportunities.

Haven't been since Ian,and it sure has changed but you can see that they are doing their best to get it back to the way it was before. Still a favourite.

Beautiful scenery but super busy in the afternoon. Things to know: Parking is limited so expect to walk if you don't get a spot near the tram stop. Be patient when waiting for the tram. It's 1 tram picking up and dropping off. There is an option to walk to the beach (about .5 mile). Lots of shells on the beach so wear footwear. Overall, great spot for shelling and sunbathing.

Great park with excellent trails through the mangroves. One of the better wildlife viewing areas we visited while in the area. Lots of birds. Saw a couple snakes. A bunch of lizards. And the endangered gopher tortoise! Wonderful education signs. It’s a great way to spend a morning. The trails weren’t busy but the beach and beach parking was very busy.

Visited this state park to catch the sunset, and it was breathtaking. The beach is beautiful, and you have the option of taking a tram or a half-mile walk to reach it. Keep in mind that the park closes around 6 due to hurricane-related issues affecting the lighting. Overall, a serene and picturesque spot for nature lovers.

"Share a Shell Bridge" is what I think I overheard someone call it; the pedestrian bridge that goes from the tram drop off spot to the beach. Totally cool that you can find a nice shell on the bridge to take, and then you are encouraged to find a couple nice ones on the beach and put on the bridge when leaving. Pay it forward!Park was clean and a really nice place to visit. We wrapped up our vacation there yesterday by spending a couple of hours on the sand and the trails before heading to the airport.

Sweetest staff ever, the beach is beautiful. I usually go on Sundays and parking is never a hassle. I've gone kayaking and paddle boarding here several times never an issue, super easy for beginners.

I haven’t been to that specific spot since hurricane Ian. But it’s was an absolutely stunning, special, place. And I’m sure they’ve done stuff with it since. But that beachwood……. Irreplaceable. I’ll share a photo of the beautiful beach and our Christmas “tree “ full of shells , sand dollars , wishes , people’s names , visitors and locals alike.

They have a new welcome center. We went kayaking and went to the beach. Love the tram driver. We went off our anniversary... Would you know we got on Fox 4 Now while we were there. We will come back. They have done a great job getting things up and running and open to the public.

Loved this park! It was a scorching hot day so walking any paths was out for us, but the beach was so calm and peaceful. Lots of shells here too. There is a tram that takes you to the beach or you can walk. Walk would take about 10 minutes at an average pace. It’s $7 to park for the day. You can pay with cash or using your phone.

Great beach and many people visiting Ft. Meyers never make it here. This beach is hidden and you have to go over the bridge coming from Fort Meyers. Then you have to take a weird turn to get to the parking lot. You have to pay, it’s not free. The beach is pretty and there are a number of people fishing day and night at this spot or near by. It’s a hike to the nearest beach but you can go down further. It’s very pretty and there are several mangroves in the area. Some people are more adventurous where they go on a kayak in the mangroves near by or the coves. It’s not wilderness but use your common sense. If you swim keep in mind there are currents don’t underestimate the ocean.
