OF NATURE AT PORT OF THE ISLANDS RESORT & MARINA

(NAPLES, FL) – The vast biological community known as the Florida Everglades stretches east of Naples, beginning north of town at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, an Audubon preserve and gateway to the South Florida Birding Trail. Endangered wood storks nest in its ancient-growth bald cypress trees. In the depths of the Everglades, alligators, Florida panthers, bob cats, black bears, and nearly 350 species of birds lurk.

SnookWeb

In just a few short weeks, Florida’s favorite fish will back in season! From September 1st ‘09 until December 15th ‘09, anglers will be on the prowl for snook. The great news is no matter what SunStream property you decide to stay at, snook fishing is very accessible.  However,  the ideal property to try some snook fishing this fall is Port of the Islands Resort and Marina. Currently at Port of the Islands Resort and Marina, located in the Eveglades and amongst the Ten Thousand Islands, we are offering great fishing packages . Many of these packages are all inclusive of most everything you will need for a day or weekend of fishing. If you plan on venturing out to fish on your own, always be sure to check the rules and regulations  before heading to the beach or on the water.

 

 

And last but not least, GOOD LUCK!

Yesterday, the best of our beach area restaurants provided samples of their specialties, from Maryland-style crab cakes to secret-recipe ribs and banana-rum bread pudding – plus other treats from land and sea. And I even spotted a celebrity. See if you can find him too.

Geocaching is a high-tech version of hide-and-seek. Geocachers seek out hidden treasures utilizing GPS coordinates posted on the Internet by those hiding the cache.

Here are a list of Geocaches right here on Fort Myers Beach!

We have placed our own cache.  The first person to find it gets a Beach Survival Kit!
