FASCINATING HISTORY AND CULTURAL VALUE
The Estero Islands harbor the tales of a fascinating past life, serving as the ceremonial grounds for an ancient civilization known as the Calusa Indians. Evidence of their presence can be explored via the shell mounds, skeletal remains, and artifacts found in the Estero's Mound Key Archaeological State Park in the Estero Bay. The prehistoric Native Americans who frequented the area, were a hunting and gathering society who spent at least 2,000 years in the coastal waterways of southwest Florida prior to the arrival of Spanish settlers.
In more recent years, this island that roots the tiny city of Fort Myers Beach, stood as a major citrus region for more than 100 years until the 1970s. Homesteaders who arrived here in the late 19th century, were part of an organization known as the Koreshan Unity (people who believed the universe was part of a giant, hollow sphere). These forward-thinking citrus growers created a massive plantation that covered more than 110 square miles which included what is known as the town of Fort Myers Beach plus the entirety of Lovers Key State Park. Learn more about the intricate details at the Estero Island Historic Society.
HOW TO GET TO ESTERO ISLAND- Fort Myers Beach Florida
Conveniently located less than 10 miles from the Southwest Florida International Airport or 16 miles south of Fort Myers, it possible to access Estero Island from either direction by simply taking the Matanzas Pass Bridge from San Carlos Island.
