About this map

Fort Myers Beach sits at the heart of this coastal study, stretching along the thin barrier islands of the Gulf of Mexico. This 2018 survey detail provides a clear view of the dense residential development and road networks that define the Lee County shoreline just before the close of the decade. The landscape is a complex maze of waterways including the Intracoastal Waterway, Matanzas Pass, and Hell Peckney Bay, which separate the primary beach communities from inland areas like Truckland and San Carlos Island.

The map reveals the transition from recreational beachfronts at Bunche Beach to the preserved mangrove environments of Starvation Key and Coon Key. To the south, the expansion of Bonita Springs is evident near Lovers Key, where the land begins to break into smaller keys and passes. Notable landmarks such as Connie Mack Island and Bodwitch Point anchor the northern reaches of San Carlos Bay, showing the interplay between modern residential planning and the natural Estero Bay ecosystem.
