Dancing Dolphins

Sitting along the Gulf-facing shoreline of Fort Myers Beach, Dancing Dolphins puts campers within walking distance of open beach access on both sides. Sites are positioned on brick pavers directly adjacent to the sand, and reviewers note the beach sees relatively little foot traffic. The access road has a reputation for being rough, so lower-clearance vehicles may want to plan accordingly.

This is a bare-bones setup. As of early 2023, electric and water hookups were not yet operational following hurricane damage to the surrounding area, and nightly rates of $75 to $100 held firm without discounts for extended stays. No amenities means campers should arrive self-contained. That said, the site-to-beach ratio is essentially one-to-one: guests have reported having the stretch of shoreline largely to themselves. Krystal H. describes it as "a very private space/beach."

One important note for anyone planning a visit: a December 2025 review records the owner stating the park was no longer open. Prospective campers should call ahead to confirm current status before booking. Nearby alternatives include San Carlos RV Resort & Marina to the northwest, and those wanting more camping spots around Fort Myers Beach can browse additional options in the area. Reservations have historically been available through The Dyrt, but direct confirmation with the owner is the most reliable step before making the drive.

Campers regularly cited the beachfront location and owner Ben's friendly service as major positives. However, visitors should expect no utilities or amenities, with recent reports indicating the park may be closed.

Closest thing to staying at your own private beach…

FMB is still devastated from the hurricane, but this is my absolute favorite place in the U.S. I have ever stayed. We’ve stay for a couple of months and although there is no long term stay discount, it’s absolutely worth it. It’s private, you get the space to yourself and there’s hardly anyone on the beach. Best part you can just walk straight on down to the beach. The owner is wonderful- friendly with great communication. Yes there is recovery surrounding us, but who cares!!! You get a very private space/beach located in paradise! We can’t wait to come back!!!!

Ft. Myers, FL…..Too expensive

We wanted to stay for 57 days. If clearly states there are no amenities yet the price remains at $75 a day. No break with monthly rates. Ridiculous!

I am sorry you did not like the price and understand your desire for a lower rate. This location is right on the beach with high use and is a fair price. We do have water, power, and sewer. Thank you for your feedback.

Beautiful Beach! Loved The Sand

I stayed at this property for two nights. Parking was easy on brick pavers and was right next to the sandy beach. We could walk for miles in both directions. Loved it and will come back.
