February 20, 2022 Dorsey Hagwood

Located on Florida's Gulf Coast, Fort Myers offers its own great beaches as well as being surrounded by some 100 barrier and coastal islands to explore. The shelling is stupendous, and the nearby Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum is inspirational. The Great Calusa Blueway offers 40 miles of canoe and kayak trails.

Mound House

Reviewed By kvheltzer - Duluth, United States

We spent a couple of hours here one morning of our weeklong vacation in Ft. Myers Beach. It was a beautiful day and they weren’t many people there so we kind of had the place to ourselves. The volunteers were very helpful and provided excellent information about the history of Mound House and the area. In the excavation site where there had previously been an underground swimming pool was pretty amazing with all of the shells that were unearthed If you want to take a break from the beach we would highly recommend this spot. There is also a very nice fishing pier overlooking the estuary
