Tigertail Beach

Tigertail Beach Review

On the southwest side of the island is 2,500 feet of both developed and undeveloped areas. Once gulf front, in recent years a sand spit known as Sanddollar Island has formed, which means the beach, especially at the north end, has become mud flats—great for birding. There's still plenty of sand on the south end and across the lagoon on the sand spit. Facilities include playgrounds, volleyball, a butterfly garden, free use of a beach wheelchair, a concession stand, restrooms, and showers. Kayak rentals are available, and rangers conduct nature programs. The Conservancy of Southwest Florida conducts free educational beach walks at Tigertail Beach every weekday from 8:30 to 9:30 amJanuary to mid-April.
