Lovers Key State Park




We stopped at Lovers Key State Park after leaving Fort Meyers Beach. We learned it was named Lovers Key because before there was a bridge built out to this barrier island, only lovers risked going there in boats. It was a beautiful white sand beach with a much more undeveloped feel than the Fort Meyers Beach. We made a picnic lunch and had fun eating it while watching a group of pelicans diving for fish. After lunch, we went biking on the 8 miles of trails that covered the 4 barrier islands that make up this state park. For much of the time we biked, we didn't see a soul - we really enjoyed this park. The weather has turned - I finally put some sunscreen on today and we enjoyed the warmth and beauty of the sun.
