Pine Island Living

Pine Island is conveniently located just 30 minutes from the Ft. Myers metro area and all its cultural, recreational, and entertainment amenities. Additionally, the island is just a 10 to 20 minute drive to the Main Shopping areas on Pine Island Road in Cape Coral and is about an hour away from Southwest Florida International Airport.

The mild weather of the region definitely enhances the outdoor lifestyle of living in Pine Island. Year-round temperatures range from 70 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit, while average rainfall hovers around 55 inches. Besides fishing, residents and visitors spend their time viewing wildlife, walking, hiking, swimming, boating, kayaking or canoeing. Development restrictions have not only kept Pine Island from becoming over-commercialized, but have also preserved the diversity of the local wildlife. Native bird species including the bald eagle, wood stork, heron, egret and pelican can all be seen throughout Pine Island. The sea life is equally abundant; locals frequently spot manatees, sea turtles, sea otters, and dolphins.

The sport of fishing has long been a part of Pine Island’s heritage supporting generations of families who have lived on this island. The sport of Tarpon Fishing originated on Pine Island which is convenient to the tarpon migration through Boca Grande Pass, about 20 minutes across Pine Island Sound from the community of Bokeelia. Boca Grande Pass is known as the Tarpon Capital of the World. Other popular sport fish found in the waters off Pine Island include redfish, snook, grouper, sea trout, cobia, barracuda, mackerel, among many others.

As an in-harbor island, the beaches do not build up on Pine Island as they do on the outer barrier islands. There are a few small man-made beaches on Pine Island which are generally popular with young children. Adults may prefer to take a half-hour boat ride to one of the beautiful barrier islands to spend the day on a secluded and scenic sandy beach.
