Barefoot Beach - Fort Myers Beach, Florida Stock Photo

Collier County's desirable coast reaches its zenith at Barefoot Beach Preserve, where numerous animal species reside and visitors are able to enjoy the ambience of the park's natural surroundings. This beach park is an excellent example of the shifts in habitat that occur within a very narrow strip of land with only slight changes in elevation and mosture. 8,200 feet of beach and sand dunes support the growth of sea oats, providing nesting sites for sea turtles during the summer months.
