Welcome to a tropical island getaway on Southwest Florida's Gulf. Nestled between the Everglades, Charlotte Harbor Estuary Watershed and the Gulf of Mexico, it's no wonder that people from all over the world travel here to explore our pristine beaches, shallow mudflats, backbays and inland waterways. Thanks to a subtropical climate with an average yearly temperature of 74 degrees, we have many unique plants and animals that call this bioregion their home. We invite you to enjoy an atmosphere that's a little quieter, a little less hurried and a lot less like the rest of the world.

From coastal preserves such as Cayo Costa State Park and Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge on our barrier islands to the inland Audubon Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary near Bonita Springs, we offer visitors a chance to experience Florida as it must have been centuries ago. This part of Florida has an environment that is beautiful as it is fragile. It is up to all of us, residents and guests alike to protect it, leaving the same wonders we enjoy today preserved for generations to come.
