The Estero Island county beach accesses have no parking, and Lee County lists them closed. The hours line reads “Closed until further notice.” The page says: “Due to Hurricane Ian, Helene, and Milton, beach sites and accesses are currently closed” (Lee County Parks & Recreation, retrieved Oct. 6, 2026).
The county says: “There are seven beach accesses, #37 thru #43, that allow for foot traffic only to the Gulf as there are no parking areas provided.” They are “located north of Matanzas Bridge on Estero Blvd. between Lynn Hall and Bowditch Point Regional Parks.” The address range given is “Between 50 and 950 Estero Blvd.” in Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931. “Colored banners on poles designate the access number” (Lee County, retrieved Oct. 6, 2026).
“There are no amenities, only trashcans.” “Pets are not allowed at these parks.” The page adds: “A Saltwater Fishing License is required to saltwater fish from shore. There is no fee for Florida residents.” Our license guide covers the options.
The page names no lot for these accesses. The county parking page lists the LeeTran Park & Ride at 11101 Summerlin Square Drive with “Free parking available with more than 125 parking spaces,” and rides at “$0.75 each way or $2 for the day.” Beach Trolley Route 490 runs from the Park & Ride to Crescent Beach Family Park, and Route 410 runs from Bowditch Point Park to Lovers Key (Lee County, retrieved Oct. 6, 2026). The page does not say where trolley stops sit relative to #37 through #43.
The two county lots nearest these accesses are both listed closed for construction on the parking page: Lynn Hall Memorial Park from Sept. 6, 2026 and Bowditch Point Park from Sept. 8, 2026. See our Lynn Hall post and Bowditch Point post. Fees for other lots are on our Lee County ramp and parking fees page.
The contact listed is (239) 823-1447. Because the county lists these accesses closed, do not plan a trip around them until the county page changes.
