Welcome to “Old Florida” as everyone kept putting it! As soon as we arrived at The Red Coconut we immediately took off to the beach! The powdery white sandy beach with palm trees right on it! Yes! This is my favorite kinda view! I’m so used to seeing beaches with sand dunes and sea grass that I get super excited when I see palm trees on the beach. When I was little I used to draw beaches with coconut trees on them all the time! This was my go to thing to draw. At that time in my life I had not been to the beach. I actually didn’t go to the beach for the first time until I was 15 years old and that was to Cumberland Island, Ga.
While in the water we found the biggest, live, conch shells we’ve ever seen in nature and sand dollars, too. The kids were able to find lots of beautiful empty shells that are now decor in our camper.
I didn’t take many photographs or videos during our stay in Fr. Myers but I did manage to spend lots of time in my Tommy Bahama beach chair with the water touching my toes. It was a very relaxing place!
We have been to tons of beaches during our exploration of Florida and this was the first beach that allowed dogs! Hazel got to experience the sand and the ocean! She wouldn’t go in the water at all but loved bird watching!
Can’t wait until the next exploration!!
