INCREDIBLE beach CAYO COSTA Fishing and Cooking Florida Pompano
We're taking you on an epic adventure to CAYO COSTA Florida , fishing and cooking flaky whole baked POMPANO! This Island near Sanibel and Captiva will blow your mind. We hopped on a boat at Pine Island, Florida, near Cape Coral and Punta Gorda, and sailed over to the stunning Cayo Costa State Park for the first time.
Cayo Costa is a GORGEOUS Florida island you can only reach by boat. We absolutely adore this place and Guess what? This is our very first video launching from Pine Island and the Pineland Marina, and fishing for Pompano so it’s going to be a thrilling but tasty ride. We will show you how we cooked the catch of the day: BAKED POMPANO.

    I drove from Orlando to Ft. Myers last week and spent a couple of hours walking the main strip in Venice. I parked at the Centennial Park parking lot (free parking). It's beautiful as you show it here...also it has beautiful Venice beach at the end of the strip. I then drove about 2 miles and had an appetizer and a few drinks at Sharky's on the Pier...a fun beach bar. Then continued on my way to Ft. Myers. Loved it in Venice....wish I could've stayed! 🌞

    I just left Sanibel island. Too many ppl, too much traffic. Takes and hour to go a mile! Not enough parking at the beaches, and $5 and hour if u do find a spot and tons and tons of shell pieces all broken!!! So disappointed. The only way u may get shells is if u go exactly at low tide. I drove 4 hrs for nothing.

    Beautiful. But remote and hard to get to. Two hotels/motels on the whole island, and maybe eight restaurants and a grocery store the size of a large 7-11. Extremely quiet. And expensive. Be aware…

    The boat ramps are full by sunup. This place is overrun with people from Miami who live lots of litter everywhere. The cops are very poorly trained and will ticket you for any reason they get everything is over priced and if you look up the food inspection ratings you will see that most of the restaurants have sanitation problems and fail tests regularly. There is only one main road in from the front and one main road in from the back right in between peoples houses and it’s extremely crowded. The beaches are overrun and covered with condos. If it wasn’t for the overpopulation crowdedness heavy traffic yes, it would be Beautiful, but it is crowded as hell

    • @therealfloridalife

    If any of your viewers go down further to the public beach by the lighthouse..make sure to pay for parking. I had no idea and didnt ever see the sign to pay until I washed up and left the beach. Wish I could live here 😉

    We last visited Sanibel the week before hurricane Ian in September 2022. We have stayed at and love Beachview Cottages and West Wind Island Resort two doors west of Beachview Cottages. Both properties were destroyed by Ian and are now cleared of any buildings. They were part of a four property group including Castaways Beach and Bay Cottages (also gone) and Tween Waters Island Resort which you featured here. Thank you for the update and good news that recovery is happening!

    Tween waters is the #1 choice. Yes, the road is between your condo window and the ocean, but it’s a quiet road. And you are just yards from the ocean, just crossing the quiet road. Tween waters is a small, family owned business. Super clean, the mattresses are wrapped in plastic.❤
