The main goal of the Secret Check-in Site at GullWing Beach Resort and Pointe Estero Beach Resort was to remove unsightly and environmentally harmful debris from the Fort Myers Beach coastline and raise awareness about this preventable litter problem. More than 100 volunteers rid the beaches of disgarded beach toys, plastic bottles, beverage containers, plastic bags, fishing line and even flip flops. “This was the groups first time participating in the Coastal Cleanup and they really had a great time,” says Trish Fancher, Program Director of Keep Lee County Beautiful, Inc. “It’s always great to see such enthusiasm and teamwork and GullWing and Pointe Estero provided a perfect meeting spot for the kids and their parents.”
