Ft Myers Beach actually consists of two islands: At the north end is a very small island, known as San Carlos Island. This island is caught between the bay and the ocean. Restaurants and marinas are the main staples of the island. The larger of the two islands is Estero, approximately 8 miles long. The north end of the island is known for its many hotels, 'the pier' and 'Times Square.' The pier is exactly that; many fish from the pier, and others observe the setting sun from this strategic location. This northern end has a small shopping district, restaurants, bars and pubs, etc. The remaining area of the island tends to be residential, with two grocery stores, a few marinas, and of course, condo buildings. The south end of the island, where our condo building is located, is known for peaceful tranquility. At the south end, over Big Carlos Pass, is Lover's Key. This undeveloped island has miles of sparkling white beaches...with the natural animals of tropical environment. Many boats pull up into the sandy shallows, for swimming, shelling and picnics. The shelling on Ft Myers Beach is usually awesome. Shelling is largely dependent on storms and currents, but the shell availability here rivals Sanibel.
