We hung out south of Fort Myers Beach, primarily within a two-mile radius of Lovers Key State Park. Barefoot Beach and the beach in the state park are gorgeous with pristine sand, a variety of shells and birds, and plenty of space to spread out. One of the days we were waiting on a replacement beach umbrella, and we found just the shade we needed from a parked sand cleaning machine.
If you look closely at the bottom photo, you can see a dolphin.
