Lovers Key State Park, Fort Myers Beach

About Lovers Key State Park

Lovers Key State Park protects a two-mile stretch of beach on former barrier islands once reachable only by boat, now a destination for swimming, kayaking, and wildlife viewing. Visitors access the sandy shoreline with sea oats grass and distant treeline via two pedestrian and bicyclist entry points: the Mid-Beach Wood Bridge, a thousand feet from the parking lot, or the South Beach Concrete Bridge, half a mile away. Kayakers explore serene canals and lagoons where manatees graze and shorebirds rest. The park's waters host dolphins and ospreys. Trails wind through maritime hammocks toward the shore. The park charges admission and publishes its fees online. Located in Fort Myers Beach, Lovers Key opens daily from morning to sunset.
