2:50 - On the right is a blue tent. Across the street is the location shown in the well-known video of the storm surge submerging this area and destroying the red house from which a man and woman and their dogs amazingly managed to survive. The power pole that the camera was attached to is just to the left of the parked white pickup truck. A little above that pole and to the left are the three small palm trees that stood next to the driveway of the parking lot that's now covered with sand; they are shown in the video totally underwater as waves pass over them. The few remnants of the first floor of the vanished red house are right in the center of this view. If you haven't seen the video I'm talking about, search for it. It goes on for hours and shows the entire passage of the worst part of the hurricane.

The whole point of the beach is that it is accessible without an hour's drive to get to Venice or FMB. It's like putting a Sea Hunt boat in the middle of Boston Whalers, Valhallas, and Grady Whites (choose your favorite high end brands.. whatever). The Sea Hunt might be the worst boat of the bunch, but it's still a boat; it still gets you on the water; and it's way more accessible to more people.

You are 100% correct. The river is dark on account of the natural tannins in Florida fresh water estuaries. The Lake O releases certainly do not help the situation. It's a great beach if you don't want to fight the traffic and crowds of FMB or the Sanibel beaches. Is it equivalent to a North Captiva beach? Absolutely not. But it's great in a pinch if you want a quick hit to a beach.

And those hurricane cut sabel palms do look out of place. The new Florida baloney that coconut palm trees aren't native and have to be removed (or not planted) is ridiculous .

I guess I can agree it's the worst beach in Lee County. Even so, it's still a great beach. We moved to the Cape the year KCs Riverstop was built which is now The Boathouse. You can complain about the color of the water but it's the same as any freshwater lake in FL, not to mention Fort Myers beach when they flush the big lake.

Please let me add my opinion of the best place to be in FL. How wonderful for all who will never travel to the best place if you two could make a vid of the three beaches' activities and the places to stay and the food available. A lovely weekend for a lovely couple, You Two! I just found you and will Subscribe and Share and Explore your Channel today. Of course you know all the following but I'm campaigning for a Vid to be treasured! Please go to Clearwater for a lovely beach location experience and send us the joy❤ by vid. And 2.2 miles away is the best of the best reached only by walking from Clearwater Beach or by Ferry. Take the ferry! Please do. For everyone, Caladesi Island State Park,in Dunekin, a luxurious picnic, a breezy sunny day with a great week weather forecast around mid-September and loved ones around [and an engagement ring found in a seashell? oh,my] and this Park will knock WV off the #1 spot for "Almost Heaven." Or go fishing. Or a hop and jump is Honeymoon Island, public, lovely and perfect for families. Love you, John Denver❤ and West Virginia, Mountain Mama; but you missed out on Caladesi, FL "Beach Bliss," and there's No Gators! Research online. You don't lie about Gators, sneaky dinosaurs. Thank you, lovely couple, for joining me with my morning tea making it so interesting, I watched 3×.

Its not actually the slow zone at shell point/little shell. Its the channel that starts at marker 99 and runs in front of picnic island. Its called that because of how narrow the channel is and bardges ran aground quite often. But the slow zone at shell point is miserable!!!!!
