Thank you for inquiring about Winterhaven bounded by the Gulf of Mexico on one side and Pine Island Sound on the other. We are on a barrier island just west of Fort Myers, Florida.

Dolphins and manatee play off our shores on this private island. We have neither public boat docks or public facilities. There are no bridges to connect us to the mainland. We are a vanishing breed, one of the last true out islands in the United States. We have 4 miles of the most beautiful, serene beaches to be found anywhere on this earth.
