Crescent Beach Family Park at 1100 Estero Blvd, Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931 reopened on July 29, 2026. The county says: “The beach park reopened on Wednesday, July 29, 2026” (Lee County Parks & Recreation, retrieved Oct. 6, 2026). Hours are “Dawn to Dusk,” Fishing is a listed amenity and “Pets are not allowed at this park.”
The county describes “This 2.25-acre beachfront park sits at the foot of the Matanzas Bridge on Estero Blvd., along a 400-ft. stretch of beach.” Listed amenities are Restrooms, Beach Access, Family Style Restrooms, Fishing, Pavilion and Showers. The page names two modular restrooms, pavilions, showers and “Four access points to the beach.”
The county page does not state a parking fee or a space count. The county parking page’s paid-lot lists for beaches do not include Crescent Beach Family Park. Those lists do show Bowditch Point Park and Lynn Hall Memorial Park at “$2 per hour,” each with a lot closure for construction in September 2026 (see our Lynn Hall post).
The county’s Beach-Goers Guide points to a different route: Lee Tran Park & Ride at 11101 Summerlin Square Drive, which it says has “Free parking available with more than 125 parking spaces,” with rides at “$0.75 each way or $2 for the day.” The guide adds that “Beach Trolley Route 490 provides a direct route from the Park & Ride to Crescent Beach Family Park.”
The page says: “A Saltwater Fishing License is required to saltwater fish from shore.” The county does not post bag limits or tackle rules for this park. Our license guide covers the options.
The contact listed is (239) 823-1447. The county says it bought the beachfront and the 72 acres across the street, formerly Seafarer’s Village, in September 2010. For nearby public access points, see our Estero Island beach accesses post.
