Alison Hagerup Beach - Public Parking - Captiva Florida

Absolutely beautiful beach and stunningly clear water. One of my fave beaches in the US. However , be aware of cost and rules.

On the way here, I thought we were going to find a destroyed beach. It is awesome. We didn't know if the parking meters were in effect. It's $25 for 2 hours or $40 for 7 hours. Water is great. Good atmosphere.

One of the most beautiful places to watch the sunset. Captiva Island is a romantic and beautiful getaway destination.

Get here early if you want to park in the lot, there’s not many spots and if you can bring the smallest vehicle I’d recommend it. Yes, parking for 25 dollars is insane but if you decide you want to stay longer you can add on for 15 more dollars for the rest of the day. To us, it was worth it bc it was not crowded, there are shells but walking on the sand barefoot was not uncomfortable like sanibel. No bath house, just a porta John. The water was perfect, no seaweed.

I wasn't there long, but it was a nice beach. Limited parking due to still being refurbished from the past hurricanes but still a beautiful view and a beach that's not very busy.

Parking lot closed until 12/10. Usually a nice place to watch the sunset.

This is definitely my favorite beach! The parking was free after 6pm which was nice. The beach was so clean and it wasn’t crowded at all. We watched the sunset there twice and both times it was stunning! The water was really nice too.

Facilities are well maintained at this location. Parking is tight, so do go prepared to wait for punters leaving, so you can pull in. This is one of my favorite beaches in the area. You can perhaps get more peace and quiet further down into Captiva and beyond. But, that would entail about an hour drive back to Fort Myers. Speed limit here is between 30 - 45, it takes time to go places. Nature here is relatively pristine, but it has gotten a lot touristy since I've moved into Fort Myers about 4 years ago. The rocks can be tricky and you gotta know how to navigate. Would suggest supervising children as slip, fall and cuts are all too easy on these rocks. Enjoy!
