Big Shell Island Sand bar is a fun place that is near shore. Picnic Island is down in Ft. Myers Beach, but is a great trip. We frequently also enjoy North Captiva Island.

The dog beach and the island in New Pass is awsome to go to...lots of sea life there too!

Thanks! To help new boaters in the area, can you also note the location (directions) of these destinations?

I'll be staying on Cayo Costa, on the souther end in a private home mid July.....where are the hot spots to go?? I have a 20' Tahoe runabout, not going out in the Gulf much but expect there are plenty of places to go in the ICW......I'm sure bunch of resturants on Gasperialla, Cabbage Key and back over to Pine Island....any special events around that time???

thanks, member of the local "chapter", just joined yours and love the area over there......wish I had the bucks to get into the boats I see so many cool pics of....guess I should have studied harder!!!!
