    Boca Grande, Florida

    Cayo Costa State Park protects the Charlotte Harbor Estuary and provides visitors with a majestic piece of untouched Florida.

    An unspoiled Gulf Coast island evokes images of wind-shaped trees, dunes, beaches and freedom to explore. This especially rings true for Cayo Costa Island.

    Accessible only by boat or kayak, this former fishing ground of the Calusa Indians features nine miles of undeveloped shoreline for swimming, snorkeling, shelling, fishing, birdwatching and exploration along with several walking and bicycling trails through the island’s interior. Shorebirds are numerous, and one might spot manatees, porpoises and sea turtles offshore.

    This is coastal Florida at its best! Campsites and cabins are available for overnight stays, and a ferry service runs to the island from several mainland locations. Visitors are reminded that camping is allowed only in designated sites in the campground on Cayo Costa.

    ***This is a unique island experience***

    Fort Myers Beach was devastated by Hurricane Ian.

    This exclusive private property on the beach had a beautiful old Florida home prior to the storm.

    Now the property is cleaned up and you can come down to access the beach, enjoy the island, hear the waves, and stay in a travel trailer.

    Yes…many residence in Fort Myers Beach are currently staying in trailers as they work through repairs.

    Experience the island as it is today.

    Hear the waves at night as they are just a few sandy steps away.

    Enjoy beach activities, volleyball, basketball, bikes, and sit by an evening fire.

    Sunsets from the Dancing Dolphins property is second to none!

    The owners will build back, but that’s “in process”, until then support the Dancing Dolphins property recover by staying here.

    So get ready to kick back and relax! The sound of the waves crashing will help you fall asleep in no time, or even enjoy a Margarita watching the dolphins frolic over the sunset. Either way, this is the perfect set up to enjoy some R&R and mental clarity.
