What's Within Reach of Beachfront Haven

Beachfront Haven

Your starting point for Gulf views, beach days, pool time, and south-island exploring.

Santini Marina Plaza

The largest shopping center on Fort Myers Beach — about 30 shops, restaurants, and specialty stores, plus a seasonal farmer's market. In-season hours (Nov 7–Jun 30) run Mon–Sat 9:30 AM–9:30 PM and Sun 11 AM–7:30 PM.

Confirm current details (hours, access, parking) before you go.

Big Carlos Pass

A south-island landmark connecting toward Lovers Key. The new Big Carlos Pass Bridge opened to traffic in November 2025 and includes a 6-foot sidewalk and a 10-foot shared-use path, so pedestrian and bicycle access is now part of the crossing — confirm current conditions before relying on it.

Lovers Key State Park

Open 8 AM until sundown, 365 days a year. Vehicle admission is $8 (up to 8 people), $4 for a single-occupant vehicle, $2 for pedestrians/cyclists; children under 6 free. The in-park tram has been discontinued — beach access is via boardwalks or the pedestrian/bike entrance. The Fort Myers Beach trolley's Route 410 connects here from Bowditch Point Park.

Fort Myers Beach Trolley

LeeTran's Route 410 runs between Bowditch Point Park and Lovers Key State Park; Route 490 runs between the Beach Park & Ride and Crescent Beach. Fare is 75¢ per ride, $2 for an all-day pass, or $4 for a 3-day pass (35¢ discounted fare for seniors 65+, people with disabilities, and students; under 6 ride free). Drivers can't make change — bring exact fare, or use the LeeFare app. A separate free seasonal tram (Nov–Apr) is suspended until November 2026.

Dog Beach Park

A possible outing for guests traveling with a dog; confirm current access, safety, parking, and pet rules before visiting.

Castle Beach Area

A nearby south-island beach reference only — do not present as a confirmed public access point. The Town of Fort Myers Beach passed Resolution 26-080 terminating the temporary beach access agreement with Castle Beach; current public access status is unconfirmed and should not be recommended to guests until re-verified.
