With nine miles of beautiful beaches and acres of pine forests, oak-palm hammocks, and mangrove swamps, this barrier island park is a Gulf Coast paradise. The park is accessible only by private boat or ferry. Visitors may see manatees and pods of dolphins in the waters around the park, as well as a spectacular assortment of birds. On the island, visitors can swim or snorkel in the surf, enjoy the sun, and picnic in the shade. Shelling is especially good during the winter months. Nature trails provide opportunities for hiking and off-road bicycling. Saltwater anglers can fish from their boats or throw a line out into the surf.  An amphitheater provides educational programs about the island´s ecology and history. For overnight stays, the park offers primitive cabins and tent camping. For ferry and rental information, call (239) 283-0015 or call Tropic Star of Pine Island at (239)283-0015.  Cayo Costa State Park is located directly south of Boca Grande and west of Fort Myers.
