Lovers Key State Park is a favorite place for beachcombers thanks to the broad, sunny strand on the Gulf of Mexico and its excellent shelling. But for a bit of adventure, head to the north end of the island to explore the Black Island Trail. Shared with mountain bikers, the trail system at Black Island consists of two separate loops linked by an unpaved service road. Both loops follow fingers of land that were created by dredging many years ago. (Done to create more developable waterfront property along Estero Bay) The land is colonized by plants of the coastal scrub and tropical hammock habitats. As a result, both trails create long and slender loops down each peninsula with cross trails to shorten the hike if you'd like.. A full walk through the trail system is 5 miles.
