About this beach
Sits on the north end of Estero Island, on the Gulf, with around 265 sunny days a year on average. Hurricane Ian, a Category 4, made landfall right here on September 28, 2022, damaging much of the coastline's homes and businesses, including the Times Square area; rebuilding is still underway.
