Cayo Costa State Park
About Cayo Costa State Park
A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER
Chad Lach
Cayo Costa State Park, a jewel of the Gulf coast, lies west of North Ft. Myers and is accessible only by private boat or passenger ferry. Here you will find something for everyone. Anglers, from the novice to the more experienced, try their luck fishing from the sandy shores. All anglers over the age of 16 will need a Florida Fishing License. Shell-seekers will want to visit the south end of the island, where the sea leaves her treasures for you to collect.
With 6.5 miles of biking and hiking trails, you may want to check out our new fleet of bicycles for a leisurely tour of the island; contact the ranger station to make arrangements to rent one for the day! What a great way to enjoy The Real Florida, Florida State Parks!
