The resort condominium that had a lot of help from nature.

Yes, we had a lot of help from nature at Bay Beach and we're working hard to return the favor. Pete the Pelican is living proof our efforts haven't gone unappreciated. You can see him most anytime—looking for a handout—at the marina or our fishing pier. You'll find Ossie the Osprey at Bay Beach perched in his favorite treetop... and a great Blue Heron we call Charlie who likes to parade our seawall. And hundreds of other exotic wading birds and song birds help make up the spectacular lush tropical setting that is our island paradise. There's tennis too, and 18 holes of sporty seaside golf... and boating... and 400 feet of white sand beach on the Gulf of Mexico... and attractively designed mid-rise condominiums with breathtaking views of Estero Bay and mangrove islands.

Visit us soon and bring your camera, because nature's panorama at Bay Beach is a lens-filling experience.
