This beach is a bit off the beaten path and doesn't have much actual sand. You have to put your towel down near the mangroves at the end of the beach because the tide is very high here. To give you an idea of how small the beach strip is, if you are lying out on your towel, it is difficult for others to walk by you without stepping into the ocean.The water is a gorgeous, clear blue, and you can see to the bottom even if you are in up to your chin.
There were only two other people on the beach while we were there, which was great. The water temperature was slightly cold, but after about two minutes, it felt terrific. We saw lots of little fish swimming around. I really enjoy Ft. Myers Beach and the little cafes and the jetskis, but if you want to get away from the tourists, this little spot is tops.
