Lynn Hall Memorial Park, Fort Myers Beach: Parking Closed, Fishing Rules

By Eric Vincent · October 6, 2026

The parking lot at Lynn Hall Memorial Park is closed for construction. The county page says: “Parking will be closed during construction, but you can still visit and access the beach using LeeTran’s Park & Ride” (Lee County Parks & Recreation, retrieved Oct. 6, 2026). The address is 950 Estero Boulevard, Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931.

The closure dates disagree

The park page says “Starting April 6, Lynn Hall Memorial Park will temporarily close” for improvements “following Hurricane Ian,” with no year given. The county parking page lists the lot as “Parking Lot Closed Starting Sept. 6, 2026 for Construction” (Lee County, retrieved Oct. 6, 2026). Neither page gives a reopening date in the text retrieved. The beach guide on the parking page says most beach projects are expected to take “approximately 11 months” and that beaches “will remain open and accessible throughout construction.”

Fee and rules once it reopens

The page lists “Parking is $2 per hour” and “Lee County Annual Parking Pass is not valid at this location.” It lists “Maximum vehicle length 20-feet, no trailer parking permitted,” “No pets allowed” and “No fishing in swim zone.” Hours are “Dawn to dusk.” Amenities are Beach Access and Restrooms (Lee County, retrieved Oct. 6, 2026). See our Lee County ramp and parking fees page for the other beach lots.

Park and Ride

The county parking page says the LeeTran Park & Ride at 11101 Summerlin Square Drive has “Free parking available with more than 125 parking spaces,” with rides at “$0.75 each way or $2 for the day.” It adds that 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. The page does not say which route stops at Lynn Hall, so confirm at www.RideLeeTran.com.

The pier

The Fort Myers Beach Pier that stood at Lynn Hall was destroyed by Hurricane Ian and is still being rebuilt, as we describe in our night fishing guide. The county page links a “Fort Myers Beach Pier Restoration Project,” but its text gives no reopening date.

License

The page does not restate the license rule in the text retrieved. Our license guide covers the options.
