In 2016, a single flamingo struck a pose for hundreds of paparazzi along the salt flats of Bunche Beach. The pink flamingo hasn’t returned, but plenty other fowls have. Bunche Beach has 718 acres of unspoiled beautiful land, sandy beaches, mangrove forests, and salt flats all overlooking Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel Islands. Stand up paddleboards and kayaks can be rented here, and it’s not uncommon to see different species of wildlife when paddling along the sandbars. If hiking and wildlife watching is an interest, visitors can walk along the inlet and hunt for shells, or even observe different species of birds.
