Lovers Key State Park 
Parks, Estero Island (Fort Myers Beach)
Fodor's Review:
Once a little-known secret, this out-of-the-way park encompassing 1,616 acres on four barrier islands and several uninhabited islets is gaining popularity among beachers and birders. Bike, hike, or walk the park's trails; go shelling on its 2 1/2 mi of white-sand beach; take a boat tour; or rent a canoe, kayak, or bike. Trams run regularly 9 to 5 to deliver you and your gear to South Beach. The ride is short but often dusty. North Beach is a five-minute walk from the concession area and parking lot. Watch for osprey, bald eagles, herons, ibis, pelicans, and roseate spoonbills, or sign up for an excursion to learn fishing or cast-netting. Weddings often take place at the gazebo on the beach. There are also restrooms, picnic tables, a snack bar, and showers. On the bayside, playgrounds and another picnic area cater to families.
