Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Bowditch Point Regional Park is a 17.5-acre public park at the northern end of Estero Island, divided into 10 acres of preserve area and seven acres of passive recreational use for visitors. The park, which is named in honor of celestial navigator Nathaniel Bowditch, was purchased by the City of Fort Myers Beach in 1987 and opened to the public in 1994. Today, the park is home to butterfly gardens, a bathhouse, and a boardwalk, along with day-use picnic tables and grills available on a first-come, first-served basis. Visitors can stroll through the preserve area via walking trails and watch for native bird species flying across the backdrop of gorgeous Estero Bay. An amphitheater-style viewing area also offers stunning vista overlooks of nearby San Carlos Bay, Sanibel Island, and Punta Rassa.
