Lee County Parks & Recreation Dog Beach Parking
About the Business
Lee County Parks & Recreation Dog Beach Parking is a popular tourist attraction located at 8800 Estero Boulevard in Fort Myers Beach, Florida. This park allows dogs to run free in a beautiful beach setting, making it a favorite spot for dog owners. The park features a dog rinse off shower station, which is now back in service after being damaged by Hurricane Ian. Visitors are reminded to plan their trip accordingly, as the area is a tidal flat and can only be accessed by wading through water during mid to high tides.
Please note that this park does not have restrooms, but there is a portable toilet available for use. Parking is free, and a dog rinse off shower station is provided by a private donor. Visitors are asked to follow the rules of the park, which include no glass containers or alcohol allowed. This is an unsupervised facility, so visitors are responsible for themselves, their dogs, and their behavior.
It is important to pick up after your pets to maintain water quality, as pet waste can wash into waterways and increase bacteria and nutrients. Dog waste bags are available at the entrance for convenience. Garbage cans are also located at the entrance, and visitors are asked to carry out anything they bring in.
Please be aware that a Saltwater Fishing License is required to fish from shore, and fishing in areas where dogs are present is not allowed. For more information, visitors can contact the Land Stewardship Coordinator or the Lee County Property Appraisers office.
Overall, Lee County Parks & Recreation Dog Beach Parking offers a beautiful and enjoyable experience for dog owners and their furry friends to enjoy a day at the beach.

Reviews
"First time at the doggy park she had a blast"
"Must have 5 STARS. Free Parking, Free beach access, Fantastic OFF LEASH Dog area. Plenty of white sand. Plenty of room for kids, dogs, and adults that want to be kids, to run around and get wet. Some primitive trails best to wear "water shoes". Look for some "Pink" shells and just have a good time. Our dog just loved it and ran all over with his new friends. At the end of the play time there is a fresh water spray to clean off the dogs and save the inside of your vehicle."
"Went for the first time to Bonita Beach dog beach. It's an odd beach, because you have to walk through water and mangroves to get to it. So if you're by yourself and packing a lot of stuff, it can be a little tough. But it's worth it. The beach is very very large. There are hundreds of dogs at one time. You can let them off leash, if you can call them back and they listen. Most dogs did not listen as well, so there's some leeway provided. There is one monitor onsite. But I didn't see him stop anything including aggressive behavior between dogs. But he's probably so used to it, because the aggressive behavior didn't last very long. There was no true dog fights or drawing of blood. The beach is beautiful. The sand is light. There's enough room on a beach to park an umbrella. But it is very crowded. The beach was crowded, but there was still lots of parking when I got there. I recommend this beach and I had to drive 45 minutes to get to it."
"This is easily the best dog park I and my fluffy little monster have visited. It's tucked away and 90% sand bar. Your pup can be In the water all day without actually having to swim. I 100% recommend going! We drive 45 minutes to get there, I promise it's worth the trek."
"Great spot to take the dog, big or small. Water is clean, calm and beach area I. Low tide is plenty big for them to splash around and have fun. Take a lawn chair and relax"
