When you're not enjoying the miles of tranquil beaches along the Gulf of Mexico, try boating, fishing or bird watching – or bring your clubs to one of the town's eight golf courses.

A trail-laden forest amid fantastic pines and oaks and other shrubs, mangroves along the beautiful bay observed from the elevated and railed boardwalk. This peaceful and relaxing place is a wonderful site to enjoy the quiet, watch for birds and enjoy the lovely smells of nature. Watched a Great Horned Owl surveying the park from his high perch--no concern about us below so I was able to get a few really nice pictures. We'll come back, next time with our dog as the park is dog-friendly, and maybe bring a picnic lunch.

This sunny day found us at Ann Dever/Oyster Creek Environmental Park for a mid-morning nature walk with a group of just six, a nice size for conversing and learning from each other. We saw a few birds: blue jays, cardinals, catbirds, black vultures (of course), a yellow-crowned night heron, and a pileated woodpecker. Red-bellied woodpeckers plied us with their calls, but we couldn’t spot any. We saw a nice array of trees, including cypress, slash pine, all the mangroves, and maple. A few invasive species were spotted in the park, such as Brazilian pepper, rattlebox, and creeping oxeye. Native species greeted us with flowers on shiny lyonia, star rush white-top, tickseed, white-lipped dayflower, and fleabane. We found an abandoned eagle nest and spotted a large hole in a pine that we thought something surely had to live in, but we couldn't think of an animal large enough to use it. Our walk ended and doubled back at the boardwalk crossing Oyster Creek, which was a treat in itself. We watched big fish swimming up and down the creek as we looked over the bridge rails. We didn't take advantage of any of the other many amenities mentioned by other reviewers, but the nature portion of this park is excellent. The paths are grassy to sandy and were dry, even though it had rained the night before. We will return here often to enjoy the quiet.

My beautiful wife & I wanted to spend some time at the ocean. Located Englewood Beach near where we were staying & drove there. Beautiful South Florida weather day, sunny & 83????. Found public parking lot @ the beach (.75 cents per hour - great deal & plenty of spaces). Not real crowded, mostly families & locals enjoying the warm sunshine ☀️. Walked for long time, stopping to find shells & occasional shark tooth. Spent several hours & then walked to local restaurant for lunch. Highly recommended this area. Bring sunscreen, beach chairs, umbrella, bucket & spoon for shells. ⭐️☀️⭐️☀️⭐️☀️⭐️☀️⭐️
