Parks & Nature

What Florida used to look like. There are birds on the river if you're there at dawn. Otherwise: foot or bike. Beautiful woods; a great variety of native trees and shrubs. And a lot of palmettos.

There are two POs in Bokeelia (one in Pineland, the other on Barancas) but are in the wrong direction. Matlacha PO is convenient (you can't get off Island without passing by). Last building on the Right before the bridge. Closed Sat.
