This coastline boasts a plethora of marine life, from playful dolphins and graceful manta rays to gentle manatees and a diverse array of birds. The shoreline is adorned with a dazzling array of seashells, offering a treasure trove for beachcombers. Access to this natural paradise is made easy with the option to park at the Big Hickory Pass Bridge and embark on a kayaking adventure, reaching the island in just ten minutes. It's a truly magical experience that's not to be missed.

The beach we visited in the southwest region of Florida was truly exceptional. It offered a delightful sight of dolphins, manatees, and turtles, which was a remarkable experience. The beach was also abundant with large shells, and we collected a considerable amount of them. Our stay at the Hyatt was made even more enjoyable as we had the opportunity to take their boat over, which was an incredibly fun experience. Overall, we can confidently say that this was the best beach we have experienced in this part of Florida.
