8Lovers Key State Park
Here in Lee County this 712-acre park is known for its barrier islands, beaches, cottages, mangrove forests, and resorts. It includes Lovers Key and three other isles: Long Key, Inner Key, and Black Island. The two-mile-long beach is great for shelling, watching the sunset, and even weddings. Look for manatees and dolphins as you paddleboard or kayak through the lagoons and canals. Go fishing, hike the Black Island Trail and visit the Welcome and Discovery Center too.
