San Carlos Bay - Bunche Beach Preserve is a 718-acre natural tidal wetlands area located on San Carlos Bay in Fort Myers, Florida. This park is a representation of "Old Florida" before the introduction of exotic plant species, showcasing a diverse ecosystem ranging from sandy beaches to Mangrove forests and salt flats. Visitors can enjoy viewing a wide variety of wildlife and capturing beautiful sunsets in this picturesque setting. The park was officially dedicated and named Bunche Beach in 1949 after Dr. Ralph Bunche, the first African American to win the Nobel Prize and a mediator for the United Nations. In 2001, all exotic vegetation was removed from the area, and additional lands were acquired in 2002, bringing the total acreage to 718 acres and renaming it to the San Carlos Bay - Bunche Beach Preserve.

Welcome to the Columbus G. McLeod Preserve, a serene 9-acre island sanctuary located on the Caloosahatchee River near Fort Myers Shores in Tice, Florida. Named in honor of Columbus G. McLeod, an Audubon warden dedicated to protecting bird rookeries in the early 1900s, this preserve offers a glimpse into Florida's rich natural heritage. Despite its island status, it was once connected to the mainland before becoming detached due to river dredging in the late 1800s. Visitors to the preserve can explore diverse plant communities, including tidal swamp, mesic hammock, and hydric hammock. The area is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, home to a variety of bird species such as white ibis, little blue heron, and red-shouldered hawk. The surrounding waters of the Caloosahatchee River are frequented by West Indian manatees, American alligators, and common moorhens.
