LEE COUNTY, FLORIDA, is well known for its 50 miles of beach shoreline, quality of life, eco-friendly attitude and natural beauty. More sun than clouds, swaying palm trees and gentle breezes off the Gulf of Mexico are all signature trademarks of an area billed as “The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel.” To the west, the area is blessed with more than 100 barrier islands, including world-famous Sanibel and Captiva. Inland, the county is laced with rivers and other waterways, rural byways and historic cities and towns. More than 600,000 people from around the world have found Lee County a highly desirable place to live. And it’s all not far from Jamaica Bay.
