My personal favorite, Lighthouse Beach Park is located on Sanibel Island, a 45 minute drive away. This Island has several beaches to choose from. Parking fees are unavoidable unless you stay on the Causeway. Bring the cooler, there is not a restaurant within walking distance.

旅行者へのアドバイス
節約術
Avoid the Shell Factory.
This was once the premier attraction in the area but has not been taken care of over the years and is in a state of disrepair.
節約術
Cape Coral has an excellent Parks Department.
Our favorites are Joe Stonis Park and Saratoga Lake Park. Joe Stonis Park has a playground that is fun for younger and older children. Saratoga Lake Park has a great playground for younger children along with a pretty lake view and partially shaded walking path. The best time to visit the parks is in the morning, early afternoon or evening. The playground equipment does get hot from the sun during the middle of the day.
節約術
Staying Cool During The Summer
Fellowship Park has a spray park along with a playground for children. This is a fun/free way to stay cool during the summer months.
