This place is a hidden gem! We donât have a boat so the ferry seems like a great family friendly option! âđ»
The beauty of the USA drives me speechless. Every time.
Thank you!
Meee too, so many beautiful places to explore! đ€©
I grew up in Rhode Island moved to Southwest Florida at 34 in 2004, while I love New England, Florida has an amazing lifestyle I couldnât leaveâŠLove Cayo Costa
Did the ferry out of PG years ago now take my boat there and bike to the beach.
Beautiful place! I am in love! It's on my list now that we European can go to Florida again đ„°

Absolutely gorgeous đ

Nice video man, great scenery đđœ, like and subscribe
Thank you so much! đ€
Fantastic video! Is there a specific name for spot where these sand bars are at. Going to Florida tomorrow would love to know so I can take my little one:)
Awesome! Thank you for watching đ€© Sorry for my delayed response, next time you go make sure you arrive at the north end of the island and take the tram to where camping and beach access is. Then walk to the shore, turn left and keep walking about 1/4 mile to the first one that juts out. Keep walking south along the shore and youâll see an estuary on the left which is from the water passing through just ahead of that đŻ đđ€©đ
Yo siempre que veo un video que me gusta en agradecimiento me suscribo ,gracias muy ameno!
Muchas gracias Vivian! đ€©đ
SUBSCRIBED! Thanks for the great review, we are planning our trip there too, keep up the videos!

Beautiful video. We are heading to Gasparilla Island today!
Thank you so much! Hope you had an epic time on Gasparilla Island đ We love it there!
Moving to pine Island soon! Very excited to explore, what would be our tropical paradise đ
Nice video!!
Thank you so much! đ€©
Gorgeous! Was this in June? , I know they say itâs rainy season.
Thank you đ This was in May đ
If you stay on the island, bring a tent. We stayed in a cabin and i woke up one night with a mouse on my sister's sleeping bagđđđđ
Omg thank you for the tip!! Definitely tent next time â
O M G they have mice on the island? Thanks for letting me know! Will not be going there for sure! Sarcasm......?
Wow look at the color thee water !!!!! Is it a good spot to snorkel ????
Not much to see in the water, reefs are a few mile off coast in SWFL. But the shelling is amazing! đ€©
If you do camp at Cayo Costa , bring bug spray! No see-ums will kill you! Itched for days!
You are so right! I have a repellant lamp and Avonâs Skin so Soft which works really well đ
Just found your channel and loving it. Out of Ft. Myers here. What camera are you using for footage?
Thank you so much! Sorry for my delayed response, I use a GoPro 9, the stabilization was a game changer from earlier models đ
Awesome video. Can I ask what drone you use?
Thank you so much! I fly the DJI Air2s, love it!
How long were you at the beach? I will like to visit that island, I live in CO, I was wondering which city is the closest to that island to fly in??
You can take a ferry from Pine Island, you would fly into Fort Myers. The ferry takes about 40 minutes, normally with dolphins jumping the wake đ We did the full day trip so we explored the beach for about 4 hours before heading back. Enjoy, thank you for watching! đ€©
Is it ok to fly the drone there ? State park ?
From the water yes
